Landing on the gothic version of DC ’s Earth , the Els initially attempted to stay on anonymous . However , the threat of a vent saw Lara and Jor - El having no choice but to take form into action , revealing their business leader to the kingdom rule by Thomas and Martha Wayne for save it .

However , Martha ’s last Holy Writ to Lara place the kingdom in the Els ’s handwriting to reign until Bruce could produce up to inherit the throne ( despite being a bastard ) .
With Jor - El now bushed in the present thanks to the sameLuthor / Joker / Lantern crossbreed make out as the Green Man , the time has apparently occur for Batman to take the throne as king of the kingdom . However , there are still complications that will in all likelihood arise . Firstly , Batman ’s condition as a bastard could see the kingdom resist him . Superman may also consider that he has a strong claim to the throne being Prince of the Els , potentially leave to a do between the half - Brother . The Green Man himself is also still out there who belike is n’t done causing chaos and mayhem across the kingdom .
In any case , it surely seems as though the son of an El and a Wayne would be the ideal candidate to rule the kingdom . While Alfred for certain seems to think so , this fresh version of Batman may have his dubiety despite check the full truth about his unique parentage . DC fan will just have to expect and see ifBatmanwill take the throne asDark Knights of Steelcontinues .
