   Summary

   Bruce and Clark rescue each other, disagree with each other, hide in plain sight, get it wrong, misdiagnose the problem, and then, at last, give themselves a chance.

   Or: six times Bruce and Clark misunderstood each other, one way or another, plus the time they finally got it right. (Written for DCEU Superbat Week 2026.)
