Rosetta Stone!!

The day that the light of Krypton's explosion is due to reach Earth, Superman's been running around like a bat out of hell, taking on an inhuman amount of disasters and crimes. And his buddies at the JLA stage an intervention:

Superman's reply?

Wha??

Of course Batman speaks fluent Kryptonese...he's Batman.

Still, you'd think Hal's ring would have been able to translate that.

Anyway, that one Kryptonese word balloon contained a lot more information:

It turns out that Supes has been so driven because he's been scouring the skies for Brainiac, who has challenged him to a duel. He's also placed "cosmic bombs" all over Earth, which he'll detonate if the Justice League interferes.

That's an awful lot to pack into just 7 words! Krytponese must be a pretty dense language! (Maybe under a yellow sun, each word is more powerful...) No wonder Batman's the only one who knows it!!

    Well...actually Hal's ring COULD translate it...but that would require Hal asking it to so so, and Hal's just not that smart.

    When Hawkman arrived on Earth, according to his 1960s origin, a device scanned all of the languages on Earth, and implanted them in the brains of Hawkman and his wife. Maybe Superman was off-planet at the time. But, the inhabitants of Kandor were probably at the Fortress of Solitude.
