Clark Kent may not agree with Bruce Wayne's tactics for keeping tabs on his colleagues' weaknesses, but at the end of the day, Justice Leaguer Superman will always help his tಌeammate, Batman.

And never has that been more apparent than in Batman #127, written by Chip Zdarsky, illustrated by Jorge Jimenez, colored by Tomeu Mo𝕴rey, and lettered by Clayton Cowles.

Spoilers ahead for Batman #127 

Batman #127 reveals that Batman's psychological backup for if his personality is ever altered against his will, Batman of Zur-En-Arrh𓆏, has taken Bruce's place in the fight a⛎gainst Failsafe. 

As Zur-En-Arrh explains to Tim Drake, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he created Failsafe as a backup in case Batman ever needed to be completely destroyed – som💟ething Bruce Wayne could never do.

This information is presented after a flashbac✨k in which we see Clark and Bruce argue about whether it was ethical for Bruce to keep files on how to destroy the Justice League, should such a thing ever be necessary. 

In the flashback, Superman asks ꦿwhat the JLA is sup𓂃posed to do if Batman ever goes rogue, and Bruce admits he also has a contingency plan for that – but as Clark points out, such a thing won't really work if Bruce knows how to beat his teammates right back.

What Clark doesn't account for is that Bruce's backups have ba♏ckups, as illustrated by Zur-En-Arrh creating the uber-strong, uber-fast, uber-technical Failsafe, a robotic force that nearly wiped out the entire Bat-family in Batman #126.

Despite Clark's anger, however, when Failsafe is just about to crush Batman – not Br𝕴uce Wayne, but the "pure" Batman of Zur-En-Arrh – Superman arrives in the knick of time to save the day. And Failsafe may be equipped to defeat Batman, but it's unclear if he's strong enough to beat the Man of Steel.

For Bruce's part, recognizing Clark's voice even as he can't act in his own body is a huge relief. It's proof that in spite of viol♚ating the Justice League's trust, at least one of his teammates cares about him enough to show up – not just because he's Batman, but because he's Bruce. Wh🤡ether or not Clark realizes that the person he's saving isn't his friend, but a psychological replacement meant to keep Gotham safe.

The question is... will that mat🐟ter when Clark realizes what's going on?

All we know for sure is that while Bruce is seemingly offline so Zur-En-Arrh can take control, the fight between Failsafe and Superman is sure to be a bloody one. It may also lead to another serious conversation about Batman's files on the Justice League, and whether or not such measures are necessary in a universe where Great Da🦩rkness lurks around every corner, as seen in the ongoing Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths event.

Anyone can go bad. Even Batman. Even Superman. But is something like Fa🧸ils✱afe the right answer if they do?

Batman #127 is available now.

However things end with Zur-En-Arrh and Failsafe, the story that introduces the former is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Batman stories of all time.
