[ clark pauses as he collects his thoughts. this needed to be precise. ]
When I revealed myself to the world — When the last kryptons invaded — it changed everything. More importantly, it bothered people to know a Superman exists.
And a man named Lex Luthor manipulated events to shift public opinion against me. He — [ clark pauses to digest the old anger. ] — kidnapped my mother. To force me to fight against the Batman.
[ another, more longer, pregnant pause. ]
Batman was angry too. I don't know — [ well. maybe he did? it's hard to say. clark doesn't want to put words in another bruce's mouth. ] — I don't know what pushed him so far. But he fashioned a Kryptonite spear to kill me.
I asked him to stop. I told him I was wrong. I pleaded. But we had to fight.

[ again. a pause. ]
And he tried to kill me.
