I didn't think you were foolish enough to make trouble in my town.
Well, with Batman missing, the other crooks in Gotham are picking the city clean. I thought I'd try my luck here.
Back up. What do you mean, Batman's missing?
I thought you'd know. Don't all you spandex boys have club meetings or something?
We're not exactly friends.
Aww. I'll be your friend.
Sorry, little girl. you're going home.
Now, where's your boss?
Around.
Okay, let's try this another way: where's Bruce?
This was taken by airport security two hours ago. I thought you'd be interested. [hands over a photo] [Superman-as-Batman takes it, stares at it nonplussed] [points] Right here. Look familiar?
[wanders off a ways, whispers] Bane.
Ah, yes. Bane.
That was close.
[searching the utility belt for a grapple] You're telling me. The sooner we find your boss, the better.
Right side.
[about Batman, with Superman in the costume] Does he look bigger to you?
[As Superman] We'll start with his computer records.
So how'd you do Batman's voice?
[As Batman] Precise muscle control. [As Robin] Plus, I have a pretty good ear.
[Pauses, creeped out] Don't do that again.
On the contrary, I feared you were gone forever, Batman, and that would have meant I'd never feel your spine crumble in my hands.
All this sneaking around isn't exactly my style.
What do you mean? It's half the fun!
See what I mean about him acting strange? He's smiling!
Even if I did know where to find the Mad Hatter, I'm no stool pigeon. Why should I tell you?
A man's life is in danger. Isn't that enough?
You're breaking my heart.
[Whispers] Kick over the desk. [Superman looks uncertain, hesitating, as Superman is not typically a bad cop] Just do it!
[Kicks the desk over and into the wall] I won't ask twice.
All right, no need to get your feathers ruffled. It happens our capped compadre is attending a meeting of notable ne'er-do-wells. They're hatching a plot to capitalize on your... purported disappearance.
[Lifts him of the ground by his collar] Where?
Now he's gettin' it.
By combining our talents, we will rule Gotham City. Anyone we wish to imprison, you, Riddler, will entrap. Any from whom we require allegiance, you, Hatter, will control. And any that stand in our way, I will break.
I've always wanted to team muscle with my mind. And any chance to test my new puzzles, of course.
And you, my friend, are you in?
Tweedle-Bane and Tweedle-Brain, if it's all the same, I'll play your game.
[Superman as Batman just broke a massive statue, destroyed a device confining him, and went toe-to-toe with Bane, beating him handily]
It's not possible!
He's been workin' out.
Curioser and curioser!
He's really being controlled by aliens? Eugh.
I'm deeply hurt.
Sorry.
[seeing Brainiac's spaceship] That looks friendly.
Actually, it looks....Kryptonian.
