Alfred tells Bruce the story of what happened when the Els first came to Earth. At first, Jor-El and Lara hid from the world in acottage in the forest, but one night they felt trremors in the Earth and realised that a nearby volcano was about to erupt, which would kill thousands of people. They created plans that would allow the people of the Kingdom to survve and passed them on to the Waynes' advisor Alexander Luthor, believing he would inform the King save the people. However, Luthor ignored them, forcing the El's to reveal themselves and save the kingdom on the day of the eruption. Luthor was banished from the kingdom for his arrogance almost dooming them, but he found a magic ring on the mountain that granted him great power. The Els became the Waynes' closest advisors, beloved by the people, although King Jefferson and other like him believed they were the "demons" of Constantine's prophecy.
