"That's not a bad idea," Clark says, with a tip at his brow. Understatement. Maybe relieved, that Bruce has already arrived at that conclusion. Maybe there's time to breathe, maybe the reality of it is too much of a brickwall for even Batman to ignore, but either way.
If there's some part of him that might not love that he's only being told days later, if only because he could have, what, been sympathetic sooner? It's easy to push aside. It's Bruce's business on a very personal, visceral level, and he's telling him now. One of those problems that Superman can't solve.

"There might be something in the ship archives," Clark says, after a moment spent pensively looking without absorbing the array of screens nearby, back to Bruce. "Or even the ship itself. I can do some digging, get you and Vic to take a look." They spent months on building a lamp that spends a lot of its time posted near the bed in a fancy penthouse, this seems like a worthy use of time too.
