Lex sighed and glared up at Batman, "Are you ready to talk?" Batman cracked his knuckles threateningly. Lex sighed and propped himself up into sitting position on the floor. "Y'know...in retrospect I probably deserved that."<br/><br/>"Ya think?" Batman growled.<br/><br/>"You put your entire world and possibly universe in danger and you put an entirely different one at risk for your obsession with beating Superman."<br/><br/>Lex glared, "Do you have any idea what relying on heroes does to this society? We always expect someone to swoop in and save us, so we never bother to take the initiative to work harder or avoid trouble ourselves! If mankind is going to rely on a savior to come rescue us every few minutes, we are doomed as a species. I don't know about you but I would prefer this world to die in a final glorious war..than succumb to apathy towards our own future."<br/><br/>"If it's any consolation we're not all going to die, humankind is a bit more resilient than you give them credit for, and don't worry...you'll never be remembered as a hero..just a selfish coward who betrayed everyone on this planet. But if you have any humanity left in you at all...you'll tell me what we're dealing with...right now." Batman said.<br/><br/>Lex grit his teeth but then sighed, "The being known as Darkseid is of a race known as the New Gods and rules the war world of Apokolips. I managed to get pieces of information regarding these things using Kryptonian alien technology that held archives of history. Unfortunately for you the data I retrieved was corrupted and only managed to decipher a name and a location before it cut off..." Lex sneered.<br/><br/>"Which was?" Batman pressed.<br/><br/>"Kalibak.....Earth...." Lex said.
