TTerrorist
Let's make an example of this hero. A very tragic example, I'm afraid, Miss...?
Lane.
TTerrorist
Lane? Lois Lane? The one Superman always saves?
'Fraid so.

I hope I didn't shake you and the others up too bad.
I have to say... I've gotten used to it. [Superman smiles and turns to leave. After a pause, Lois goes after him]
Um...Superman?
Yes?
Um, how can I put this...I was just thinking, it might be nice to see each other when I wasn't-I don't know, falling out a window or something. Not that I'm not grateful for all the times you've helped me, you understand.
I understand.
You do?
[explosion in the distance, bank robbers getting away]
It's the First National Bank.
You better go. People might- [Superman takes off] -get hurt. [starts walking dejectedly away] I understand, Lois. Really, you do! Yep, you're a complete moron. Why, thank you, Superman, I think I'm a total loser too...geez.
[reading] "Metropolis's favorite son: Superman." Yeah, right. Favorite son, my... [slams the paper down]
The office. Now
[disguised as Mercy] Swell, Mr. L.
"Mr. L."?
[to Luthor] I sense we are kindred spirits, you and I. Oh, there are differences, to be sure... like hair.
Pay me one billion dollars, and I'll kill Superman!
[laughs] What makes you think you can kill Superman when you can't even handle a mere mortal in a Halloween costume?
[grabs him angrily] There's nothing "mere" about that mortal!
Ceasar Carlini, my old pal! Why I haven't seen you since... Wait, I've never seen you, have I? You need to get out more.
CCarlini
Who is this clown?
Oh, not clown. Joker [Flips his card at the table, which imbeds itself]
I hear Wayne's deal with Lexcorp could run into the billions. He's a high roller.
I hear he's nothing but Gotham trash. Rich, spoiled, and... [Bruce Wayne walks off the plane] Absolutely gorgeous!
So he just appears when there's trouble? No special signal?
He's not like your Batman, thank goodness!
Then how do you contact him?
Committing a felony helps. Listen, you seem awfully interested in Superman. Do you want me to fix you two up?
The joint chiefs have shown tremendous interest. It doesn't take much imagination to envision these robots on the battlefield.
Except... I won't allow it.
What?
I don't like guns. Blame it on me, Lex. Tell your pals at the Pentagon... I just don't have the imagination.
So just keep your ears open. Let me know if you hear any buzz about the Joker.
Sure thing, Mr. Kent. Uh.. but, uh, which one? There's lots of jokers around here.
Where's the Joker?
BBinko
Who knows? Making 'ha-ha' with Harley Quinn? [Batman shoves him hard against the door] I don't know, honest! I never went back after he muscled in. I want nothing to do with that clown!
[Arrives, putting his hand on Batman's arm] That's enough. I think you got your answer. [Batman grabs Superman's arm and throws him onto a table. While he's distracted, Binko runs off. Batman turns to go after him, but Superman body-checks him into the wall, dazing Batman]
I heard you were crazy. I didn't think you were stupid. [uses X-ray vision to see through Batman's cowl] Bruce Wayne?
You peeked.
I won't have vigilantism in my town.
[Secretly taking a small bag out of his belt] You'll be rid of me...as soon as I find the Joker.
That may not be soon enough. [Batman holds up the small bag, which contains a piece of kryptonite. Superman groans and starts to back away]
It doesn't take much, does it? The Joker has 20 pounds more where this came from. Thought you might like to know. [Tosses the bag into a glass of water. Superman looks at it, then turns and sees Batman is gone]
Swell, now Gotham is sending us their wackos.
You realize she's just the bait.
I'll be careful.
Careful won't cut it. With Joker, expect the unexpected.
Maybe you should have remembered that.
See that he's street pizza! In this town, some flying fool could've caught him!
