[The footage is shaky, low in quality despite being quite close—betraying the fact that the footage is zoomed in and the fact that the cameraman is most likely far from the scene itself. Wonder Woman has her lasso wrapped around a masked man, shrouded in dark bullet proof attire. It's crude compared to the usual livery of the Justice League's rogues gallery. It's obvious even to the untrained eye that this unfortunate individual is simply fodder to interrogate. An impromptu interrogation by the looks of it, as the trinity choose to have it in the site of battle rather than retreating to their watchtower or HQ. Or atleast, that's what one would believe before letting the footage play to completion.]
[Having this interrogation on the site of battle would betray some level of urgency, a need to contain a threat before it snowballs out of hand. Especially if it explicitly involves the Trinity. But no such urgency is evident from the footage. If anything, their captive is being severely neglected. In favour of Batman. Batman with his attention solely directed at the blue, holographic display unit suspended from his left gauntlet—elaborating something with his trademark stoicism and unyielding. Wonder Woman is listening with rapt attention despite not looking directly at Batman. Instead, looking off into the distance, unseeing. As if visualising the machinations of Batman's logic. Her expression simultaneously scowling and curious, as if displeased but not beyond swaying.]

[As the comments have pointed out, Superman is all but glaring at Batman's side profile. His gaze quite literally unyielding, as if the instant he looks away, Batman may get up to further frustrating shenanigans. Wonder Woman speaks, pausing Batman in his elaboration. Her scowl lessened but not gone. Superman doesn't even so much as look at her, gaze stubbornly remaining fixed on Batman. As if scrutinising an especially annoying oddity. His gaze seems to intensify, tracing the contours of Batman's cowl as if he is familiar with the face beneath it. Perhaps Batman can feel Superman's gaze boring twin holes into his cowl, as he turns and meets the Man of Steel's gaze for the first time since the footage began.]
[Where anyone else would look away, look elsewhere, or atleast, if made of guts of iron—relent the intensity of their gaze. Superman doesn't falter. If anything, Batman meeting his gaze seems to fuel Superman's need to all but glare into the Bat's soul. Quite literally lowering his head by a fraction, tilting it to the side, just to ensure he is staring directly into Batman's cold, white visors.]
[Batman relents first, as if acquiescing to a point Superman hadn't conveyed with words. But even then, the Man of Steel doesn't relent. Gaze unyielding. Though after some time, his eyes grow less accusing and irked. Remaining scrutinising and intense.]

Clark let his head fall to his desk with a dull thud. Even that moment of surrender had to occur with restraint, lest he breaks his own desk against his forehead. He had promised himself he wouldn't watch the video. He did.
Then he promised himself he wouldn't read the comments. Would anyone even believe him if he said he genuinely hadn't consciously meant to do that?
"That would make it worse!" Lois replied, her tone somewhere between genuinely flabbergasted and greatly amused, specifically at Clark's expense.
"It's honestly a wonder no one besides me and Jimmy knows you're Superman," Lois mercilessly continued. "Were you even trying?" The sincerity of the question broke away the last of Clark's resolve.
