But Clark doesn't say that, because Bruce isn't wrong. His face makes a :/ expression, contemplating. He can't help but feel stubborn about it, because there's appeal in learning how to fight within human parameter, one foot in the cornfields. There's appeal in learning how Bruce does it, in specific, and there's appeal in repairing something that might need it in a way that a slapfight of misunderstanding between demigods does not.
But they are have not had enough beer for Clark to find a way to articulate any of that. He finishes his beer, and -- carefully -- tosses the empty vessel as Bruce did. Thunk, clink, light enough that nothing obliterates into dust. Maybe he's making a point.
But he says, "Okay. But, you know, if I come back with a sword and shield, you only have yourself to blame."
