Pa Kent Calls Batman A Hypocrite in Superman: Son Of Kal-El #11

Batman doesn't approve of Jon Kent's new boyfriend, Jay Nakamura. And not for the reasons some people with YouTube channels might have. Instead, Batman sees a radical activist terrorist.

Which Batman most definitely is. But of course, Batman doesn't want to be Superman's boyfriend. Or if he does, he restricts it to heavy flirting, self-loathing and an ulcer.

Of course, everything Bruce Wayne says is something that could be applied to himself. But it takes Pa Kent to be a bit more specific about Batman's hypocrisy.

Throw in Poison Arrow, the dead Robins, exactly how Batman got his billions, and also that his own protege Nightwing is now Jay Nakamura's biggest financial backers and it's a bit Batmote and Batbeam for Bruce Wayne this time around. Especially as Pa Kent recalls Superboy's first death.

Look like Zack Snyder was right. And as for Jay Nakamura, well, there's something that has happened to that group, The Revolutionaries, that Batman warns of so much.
