shoutout to superman for getting batman the movie he saw before his parents got killed for christmas

​items of note:

1. before this, clark was hoping to see bruce at the christmas party ("hope that won't keep you from the party, bruce..." "i'll be there, clark. wouldn't miss it for the world.") and now we see that it was bc he had a gift up his sleeve cape! speaking of,

2. superman's cape pockets!!

3. his awkward stance and hand wrenching as well, my god he is so uncomfortable over this

4. he definitely got that movie bc the mask reminded him of batman are you kidding me

5. despite this absolute blunder, bruce invites him over to his place for christmas anyway

6. this is the first time clark clarifies bruce as his friend in this issue (earlier, bruce says "superman? we're hardly friends, but perhaps we might be allies" and clark only has this to say: (“i don't approve of his tactics, but against luthor and the joker... we're on the same side" [all while the literal intro of this book reads "only here superman and batman could enjoy each other's friendship and share each other's secrets."])

7. bruce's bitter response as if this situation could not be any more awkward 😭 invite a guy over for the holidays after he accidentally resurfaces your trauma and he doesn't even have the courtesy to accept the invitation 😔

8. the gift-giving in this relationship is not one-sided:
