Also, just READING Bruce's comment on the last page, with the whole "Geez whiz, you'd need an AWFUL lot of courage". Come on. Slight dickishness. A little snark. Mostly, gently (for Bruce) reminding her that there is something she has to do. Because for all the great friendship between Clark and Diana, Bruce I would say has an arguably closer one - he trusts Clark like no-one else's business, and Diana's 'betrayal' of Clark wounds Bruce as well. I like that Diana reminds him that well, Aduh, I'll handle this and stop your snarking, but I think Bruce can't help himself - psychological manipulation is his game. It's more lighthearted than anything, I felt.
