"Uh... Master Wayne, I think you should take a look at this."

In the Batcave in Gotham City, Alfred, Bruce Wayne's trusted butler, called him over while adjusting some equipment and pointed at the display screen.

"What is it?" Bruce asked as he approached.

Alfred gestured at the screen and explained, "Two unidentified high-energy sources suddenly appeared over Gotham and are heading out into space. I reviewed the satellite footage and found this."

He brought up a slightly blurry video projection on the screen. Despite the unclear quality, it showed two figures: one appeared to be a man, and the other a monstrous creature.

"That's... Superman and Doomsday?!"

Bruce immediately recognized them, having battled Doomsday before. But something felt off—Superman had only recently died, and Doomsday's body had been taken by the military. If both had somehow been resurrected and were fighting over Gotham, there was no way the government would remain silent.

"I don't think it's Superman, Master Wayne," Alfred interjected.

"Of course, it's not Superman. So... Black Superman?" Bruce frowned and hypothesized. "The Black Superman who vanished eighteen months ago suddenly shows up now and fights Doomsday out of nowhere?"

"I'm not sure what's going on, but it's clear that whoever this is—Superman or Black Superman—is trying to take the monster into space. But, Master Wayne, we both know how powerful that creature is."

Alfred turned to Bruce with concern.

Bruce fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is the Kryptonite spear we used to kill Doomsday?"

"It's still in storage. Do you want me to send it? The Batwing can't breach the atmosphere..."

"No, I won't send it myself, but we can launch it with a missile."

Bruce turned to locate the Kryptonite spear, simultaneously reaching out to his government contacts to arrange for it to be loaded into a missile and sent to Roger in high orbit.

Bruce didn't understand why Roger had appeared now or why he was fighting Doomsday. But he did know one thing: if the battle moved from the skies back to the Earth's surface, it would cause destruction comparable to the Kryptonian invasion or the last battle between Superman and Doomsday.

...

"You're a lot more trouble than Superman!"

Roger plunged his hand into one of Doomsday's wounds, pushing it deeper in a painful-looking maneuver to try to subdue the creature.

But that was the extent of his success.

Doomsday's regeneration was far beyond Roger's expectations. Even as the Kryptonite embedded in its body prevented nearby tissues from healing, the outer skin was already regenerating!

Kryptonite was effective but not enough. Worse, Doomsday's strength continued to grow. Roger could feel its grip on his shoulder tightening with every passing moment.

Finally, after another violent struggle, Doomsday flung Roger away again!

"Done—!"

BANG!

Before Roger could finish his word, Doomsday slammed its fist into his face, sending him hurtling through space at a speed surpassing that of a rocket launch.
