They studied it, but they couldn't even date it. It's so old

It was shelved till the night Superman died, then she lit up like Christmas

They brought it to STAR Labs, where my father recognized it as a perpetual energy matrix

-Ooh, that sounds cool, I thought it was like a nuclear bomb. -A mother box destroys as it creates

It's a cycle of life, but a million times faster

My father thought it was the key to unlimited energy

new formulas

cellular regeneration

But it's too volatile to control. -He used it on you.

-I was in an accident should

Have died

My father thought that he could use the mother box to rebuild the broken parts of me with a few cybernetic enhancements

Steady built a living machine. I may be stronger than its host

too much

So much life

What's on your weird mind?

Muscles.

Coordination basic cellular integrity the human being can only absorb so much

The mother box was designed to reshape a planet so so what if you were stronger than a planet?

your cells lying dormant

but incapable of decay

if you were in a conductive field

A boost from the mother box could bring him back to life

The Kryptonian ship has an amniotic chamber which would be a perfect

-no

Diana Bruce, no you have no idea. What kind of power you're dealing with even if there's a fraction of a chance-

-So what we could raise a monster? Like Luther did?

-We have tech Luthor has never even seen!

-Superman is dead

We all wish he weren't.

-We don't know what state he's in

We know we can't bring him back, but this is science beyond our limits

And that's what science is for, to do what's never been done to make life better

-Or to end it

Technologies like any other power without reason, without heart, it destroys us

You're risking lives

Theirs and maybe countless more.

We don't have time for a control group

Is it a risk yes, but it's necessary

Why?! because of your guilt

(SIGH)

Bruce I was there. You didn't kill Superman

At some point even you have to learn to move on Did Steve Trevor tell you that?

Superman was a beacon to the world

Why aren't you?

You're an inspiration Diana you don't just save people

Make them see their better selves

And yet I never heard of you until Luthor lured you out by stealing a picture of your dead boyfriend

You shut yourself down for a century, so let's not talk about me moving on

You know that if she kills you we'll cover for her

-We are not enough!

Each of us in our own way is held back, and I promise you Steppenwolf is not out there talking about ethics

He's trying to burn down the world

we're gonna stop him just by using his power this power against him I

I agree

Don't like the idea of reintegrating with the mother box

But I was running the numbers while you were being an asshole

And there's a high probability that we can bring him back

Right right, but we mean bring him back in like a "yay

he's back" way and not in like a

Like a pet sematary

Scenario you lose something when he died

even Superman

Maybe not his mind

Maybe his soul

I'll have a contingency plan for that

If he wakes up, and you're the first thing he sees

You'll need one
