Wrote some new stuff for WF, inspired by the recent football game shoots. Enjoy!
EXT. METRO FIELD DAY
WIDE: The crowd of TWENTY-THOUSAND-PLUS FANS ROARS as the Metropolis State University Falcons, in red jerseys and silver helmets, allow a first down for the Gotham City University Knights, in yellow-trimmed black jerseys and black-and-gold helmets.
CUT TO Clark Kent and Lois Lane in the thick of a RAUCOUS group of fans. One spills beer on Kents smartphone and shirt.
The crowd ROARS AGAIN, this time ERUPTING in cheers as the Falcons intercept the ball.
CUT TO:
CONTINUOUS WAYNES SKYBOX
Bruce Wayne sits in a leather-backed chair, his eyes fixed on the game. Alfred, as always, is in a chair further back by a table holding a small buffet of food and coffee. The butlers eyes flit between the game and the smartphone he is deftly thumbing, his lips muttering.
On the HD SCOREBOARDS above the field a PHOTO OF BRUCE WAYNE stares out over the fans.
The image shifts to a LIVE CAMERA, and Wayne stands and steps forward to wave to the crowd, which respectfully cheers.
As Wayne turns back to retake his seat, the phone in Alfreds hands BUZZES.
Wayne nods and pulls a BLUETOOTH out of his pocket and fastens it to his ear.
Wayne removes the Bluetooth. Alfred sets the phone down.

ALFRED
Sir, you have an incoming call.
Alfred turns the phone around so Wayne can see the screen:Sir, you have an incoming call.
LUCIUS FOX
Wayne nods and pulls a BLUETOOTH out of his pocket and fastens it to his ear.
WAYNE
News?
FOX (OC)
WAYNE
The alien generals world engine.
FOX
Exactly. Before he was sucked into that singularity, Emil Hammond stated that the world engine was expelling particulates. Luthor found that these particulates were irradiated.
WAYNE
How does this add up, Fox? Im on a timetable here.
FOX
That chunk of jade isnt a chunk of jade. Its an irradiated fragment of Krypton. Post-implosion. Some fragments mustve latched on to Zods ship and fell off here. The point is, even if they'd succeeded, they would've died from radiation poisoning anyway. Under our sunlight and in our atmosphere, this stuff reacts adversely to their biology.
(beat)
Its a way to weaken him.
WAYNE
Ok. Got it. Good work, Lucius.

I did some digging into S.T.A.R.S.s recent files. Luthor retrieved some quote-debris-unquote from the Indian Ocean--

ALFRED
Do you think its wise to risk exposing yourself now, sir?
WAYNE
What do you mean?
ALFRED
I thought you had intended to right the wrongs in Gotham, not meddle in things like this. Its far easier to maintain an urban legend, sir.
WAYNE
(sighs)
Well, this is a game-changer, Alfred. And I need a contingency.
