[Clark returns to his apartment after his confrontation with Batman, where he discovered that he's Bruce Wayne. After a phone call to Lois, he notices a small bat transmitter on his cape. He looks out his window, and sees, in the distance, Batman watching through binoculars, showing that he now knows Clark is Superman. Batman waves and leaves.]
Touché.
Clark, keep an eye on Bruce, will you? I'll be right back.
Actually, Lois-
Don't be intimidated. Regale him with madcap tales of the nightlife in Smallville. [Leaves]
She never stops, does she?
Not that I've noticed. [Quietly] Any luck finding the comedian?
[In Batman voice] Three nights, and not so much as a green hair.
Of course, you have been dividing your time between work and Lois.
Is that a problem?
Let's just say I'm concerned. Your reputation is... dubious, in and out of costume.
Don't worry, I'm taking Lois quite seriously. [leans down] Besides, it seems to me you had your chance.
[Superman busts into a Lexcorp lab]
More powerful than a locomotive...and just about as subtle. [Superman steps out of the shadows, wearing a lead suit] Ooo! I'm flattered that you put on your Sunday best!
[When Superman, unaffected by Joker's kryptonite thanks to his lead suit, forces Joker to take him to Lois] I don't understand! I had it all planned so perfectly...Oh, wait! That's it!
What?
Silly me! I forgot the ACID! [Sprays acid from his carnation onto Superman. The acid melts away half of the lead suit. Joker then throws the kryptonite at Superman's chest. Superman collapses. Joker cackles] Aw, what's the matter, Suppy? [Kicks Superman over] No more steam left in the old locomotive?
Honestly Lex, don't you think I feel bad enough already?
[Angrily grabs him] YOU MANIAC! YOU IDIOT! HOW DARE YOU USE ONE OF MY LABORATORIES FOR YOUR...
[fighting Harley] Here's for that punch in the face!
Ooh, listen to Little Miss Can't-Take-A-Joke!
How soon can we get to Hob's Bay?
[Alfred opens a case with the Jet-wing]
If I may be so bold, sir... "when in Rome"...
Copybat, copybat. Suffering from propulsion envy, Batboy?
Think of it as a welcome wagon, Bats. Welcoming you to the nearest mortuary.
Thank you. I couldn't have saved Lois without your help.
I'm aware of that.
[Trying to cheer up a dejected Joker with a Batman-shaped cookie] Hello, Mr. J! I'm Batman. Eat me, eat me, eat me!
I know you're trying to cheer me up, Harley, but you see, any time I blow a $1 billion deal, IT REALLY KILLS MY APPETITE!
I could always...ask him.
Ooh, this could be a fair fight after all... And who wants to see that?
[just saw Batman unmasked] So when were you gonna tell me- the honeymoon?
How could you have lied to me like that?
Now, I never actually said I wasn't Batman... [she smacks the cut on his back] Ow!
