Dark Knights of Steel#2(2021)

Holding Jor-El's body, Bruce screams in rage and grief. Lara and Kal-El hear him and run up to the battlements and see Jor-El's body. While they grieve, Bruce leaps from the castle walls to the courtyard below and he and Alfred ride hard to Hobb Forest. With his powers seemingly activated by his anger, Bruce displays great speed and strength and easily spots Oliver in the trees. He leaps into the air and cuts Oliver's arm off with a single blow. Alfred restrains Bruce from killing him and they return him to the Castle for questioning. The Green Man, who left Oliver behind at the behest of his ring, flies to the Kingdom of Storms and informs John Constantine that Jor-El is dead. Constantine reports to King Jefferson, who is watching his children practice their magic power over storms which is the royal family's birthright. Constantine tells King Jefferson that Jor-El is dead, but he is concerned that the situation may be made worse by Jor-El's death, and he has begun to doubt his own prophecy. He also warns Jefferson that he has angered the Els. At the Castle of El, General Waller calls for war against the Kingdom of Storms, although both Harley and Alfred counsel against it. Still grieving, Lara does not want to send soldiers to their deaths but Waller warns that a pre-emptive strike may be their only hope. Harley asks Bruce what he thinks but Kal-El, who blames Bruce for failing to protect Jor-El, says that Bruce has no right to speak and that he wants to question Oliver and make sure King Jefferon was responsible before they make a decision. The council disperses, but Alfred warns that a war between the House of El and the Kingdom of Storms will draw other kingdoms into the conflict. Indeed on Amazon Island, Queen Hippolyta's agent Lois returns and informs her that Jor-El is dead. Hippolyta convenes a war council and Lois goes to the training field to inform "the princess" of what has happened. However, it is not Princess Diana she has gone to speak to, but Diana's sparring partner and lover Zala Jor-El, Jor-El's daughter. Weeping, Zala flies off, and Diana and Lois both predict that the war against the Els they have been trying to prevent is now inevitable. Meanwhile at the Castle, Kal-El storms into the dungeon and dismisses Bruce and Harley. As they leave, Harley tells Bruce she is worried that the loss of Jor-El may drive Lara and Kal-El to lash out and asks him to help her convince them to back down, but Bruce isn't interested in listening, telling her that her words are treasonous. Kal-El confronts Oliver, who tells him to kill him and get it over with, but Kal-El replies that his family are not murderers. However, at that same moment, Zala Jor-El attacks the Pierce's castle and drops Prince Jacob to his death. King Jefferson blasts her with lightning, but she smugly replies "It tickles" and flies away as Jefferson weeps.
