If Bruce chose to check the news, or had any kind of alerts set for his phone, he'd see a news report of the most amazing thing: Superman, alive, dressed in his familiar uniform even if he was wearing uncharacteristic facial hair, flying around and taking care of a sizeable village in southeast Asia. Some people were wondering if it was a fake or another clone or if the robots that had once taken his place had once more taken up the fight. Other people were just rejoicing at his return and calling anyone who doubted it...

Well, the names wouldn't be Superman approved.

But Superman was acting like he'd never disappeared, handling the dam repairs, pulling people out of harms way, and adding to structures to reinforce them for the rain. But when he would normally allow himself to talk to the press and reassure people, Superman stayed floating above for a moment before disappearing.
