Rucka Sacrifice Question

[brettc1]

Hi guys - need some help with something.

Back in the Rucka storyline Sacrifce, a mind controlled Superman attacks Batman believing he is Doomsday. Batman survives the attack with life-threatening injuries, but he DOES survive.

I have it in my head that this was later explained as Clark somehow fighting Max Lord's mind control and holding back, but I cannot recall exactly where this might have been established in an actual issue. Was it, and if so can somebody tell me where?

Thanks.

It was towards the end of the arc when the scene is replayed and we see things (sort of) how Superman saw them - although he thought he was fighting Ruin, Brainiac, Darkseid etc a part of him told him it was Batman and he saw Batman's head and restrained himself.

Still left his fingerprints 'engraved' on Bruce's neck, though...

It was around AoS 643, I think.
