    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

    Summary

    Translation into Vietnamese: https://phatdinhatuy.wordpress.com/2021/07/30/code-of-ethics-manic_intent-superbat/

    After Ground Zero in Metropolis, Bruce read a lot of science fiction. He’d never particularly bothered with the genre before: even after retiring as the Batman, it wasn’t as though Bruce had very many hours in the day to devote to stories about imaginary alien civilisations and spaceship battles and evil robots. Life was strange enough, or so he had thought. Then life itself had turned into science fiction, and standing outside the blast zone, comforting a child, Bruce had felt small for the second time in his lifetime, small and powerless and utterly helpless.
