Batman, however, initiates his own program, rewriting the units code to force them to self-terminate. Luthor admits defeat and then explodes, revealing he was just a robot as well. It seems Luthor was controlling the robot from across the globe, using a remote-operate system designed by WayneTech. This gives Luthor the alibi necessary to claim his innocence to the press. Later, Bruce Wayne announces he will back out of defense contracts and instead will begin a new charitable foundation.
