Interlude: Reactions.

Lex Luthor

After reading the morning paper: "The two monsters are bonding. Good god that is horrifying."

Bruce Wayne

Reading the morning paper and eating a breakfast in bed served by Alfred, after sleeping in until eleven following a late night out.

"Could they be collaborators? Or are they attempting to form a kind of partnership? I wonder what their end game is for this?"

Barry Allen

"Huh, Supes and Bubbles are getting along? I'm feeling kinda lonely here."

Lois Lane

"-telling me that while we were sleeping we missed the scoop of all scoops?! Superman paying a friendly visit to say how do you do?" She paused to light a cigarette. "Dammit, right under our noses. What are the odds Smallville? And drop that goofy grin, it isn't funny!"

Diana Prince

Man's world has changed much over my respite. Glorious new heroes joining together to make lives better. It would be a good thing to take their measure in person.

Hal Jordan

"More on those guys? Why am I reading these rags again anyway, this is just celebrity gossip!"

J'on J'onzz

Fascinating, interacting and cooperating despite their differences and lack of connections. Truly humanity is a strange, marvellous thing. Perhaps my duty as a Manhunter extends to law enforcement in this different place also? It would be good to see more of the world in any case.

Billy Batson

"… SHAZAM! Now I'm one of you guys too! How cool is that! Now to find Paris on a map… aw, so far away! No fair!"

Brain

"Soon, Mallah. Soon. This insult will not be forgotten, I promise you."

Vandal Savage

What manner of drivel is this?! Yet more freaks on the loose. Disgusting, potential hurdles.

Harold Allnut

I can't begin to express how much I owe you, both of you. A job! Shelter! Free medical treatment! I've been given a wondrous gift, my life turned around by a simple meeting… I must repay this kindness! Somehow!
