It looks like a "Batman Begins" thing. If you read the two pages on the LJ scan page, you see that Bats is only scared before the league is formed, then, as Superman states, he "embraces his fear," decides on the league, and proceeds to become all the Batmen that we've ever known through the ages.
Looks really good, and I love the part about Clark having a secret tunnel as a boy back in Smallville. It's also way past time that at least one of his parents died. Although the choice of it being Jonathan Kent is obviously influenced by the movies, it could also also restore something like this great deathbed scene to continuity:
