If Batman does appear in MAWS, I want Bruce to play up the billionaire playboy bullshit to an annoying level. Just so the reveal is funnier.

Like, we're introduced to Batman doing his World's Greatest Detective stuff in Metropolis for some reason or other. Superman meets him and he's unsure about Batman's affiliation. He worries that Batman could be working with the General. He doesn't trust him.

Then Clark goes to some charity event hosted by Wayne Enterprises as a journalist, where we're introduced to Bruce Wayne. Clark just thinks he's a careless rich airhead and doesn't like him at all. He's annoying, he seems full of himself, he seems more concerned with the appetizers and hot ladies than the charity itself.

Then some villains attack the event and of course Bruce runs away, only for Batman to appear and fight off the attackers. Stuff happens, maybe Batman saves Lois or Jimmy or some other civilians, Clark gets confirmation that Batman is a good person. So Clark gets curious about the identity of this new superhero. He uses his x-ray vision and gets the shock of his fucking life when the calm, collected, stoic Batman turns out to be airhead billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.

Clark has a hard time taking Batman seriously after that.
