The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest Page #2

I don't want nothing to do

with that clown.

That's enough.

I think you got your answer.

I heard you were crazy,

but I didn't think you were stupid.

Bruce Wayne?

- You peeked.

- I won't let vigilantism in my town.

You'll be rid of me,

as soon as I find the Joker.

That may not be soon enough.

It doesn't take much, does it?

The Joker has twenty pounds more

where this came from.

I thought you might want to know.

Hello.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know

I'll be in late tomorrow.

I'm having breakfast with Bruce.

Isn't that special?

Do I detect a note of disapproval?

You were the one

who compared him to garbage.

Well, I was wrong.

He's very thoughtful

and much deeper...

...than the gossip mongers

would let you believe.

You'd be surprised.

Would I know?

I'll let you go,

so you count sheep...

...or whatever you

Kansas boys dream about.

Bye.

Touch.

"...the Senator declined comment."

Done.

And not a moment too soon.

Bruce! When did you...?

About three paragraphs ago.

I didn't want to distract you.

Ready to due the town?

Give me a minute to see the Chief.

Then I'm all yours.

Clark, keep an eye

on Bruce, will you?

I'll be right back.

Actually Lois...

Don't be intimidated.

Regale him with mad cab tales

of the nightlife in Smallville.

She never stops, doesn't she?

Not that I've noticed.

Any luck find the comedian?

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.

Besides, it seems to me,

you had your chance.

So, Mr. Wayne,

ready to sweet me of my feet?

Be seein' you.

This city is gorgeous at night.

Is it? I wasn't looking at the city.

Lois, about Clark Kent.

Are you and he... I mean...

No, Bruce. Your only competition

flew away some time ago.

My, you do live dangerously.

Don't you realize you're moving in

on Superman's main squeeze?

And then I said...

Huh?

Take your hands of her, you...

See that he's street pizza!

In this town, some flying fool

could have caught him!

Well, aren't we tenacious?

Catch you next time, Brucie.

Swell. Now, Gotham

sending us their wackos.

Don't worry, Mr. Wayne.

The S.I.U. will get her back safe and sound.

Thank you, inspector.

You realize, she's just a bait.

- I'll be careful.

- Careful won't cut it out.

- With Joker, expect the unexpected.

- Maybe you should remember that.

Think of it, Miss Lane.

This rock is more precious than gold.

One tinny chip will go for thousands

on the collectors market...

...after it kills your fly boy.

- You sick, demented, murdering freak!

- How rude!

Half for now and half for later.

You've got a front-row seat

for the story of the century, my dear.

The death of Superman.

S.I.U., Turpin.

Leave the screen, "turnip".

I wanna talk to the boy in blue.

If you got something

to say clown, say it to...

I'm here, Joker.

What have you done with Lois Lane?

She's right here, Superman,

and she'd love to see you.

Want to know where "here" is?

Don't blink.

Got the pictures, Supie?

Come alone.

No cops or little Lois dies laughing.

Wait! What picture?

What did he mean?

More powerful than a locomotive...

and just about as subtle.

I'm flattered,

you put on your Sunday best.

Where is she, Joker?

Forget about Lois.

Fix your eyes on this!

Now, I'll asking once more.

I don't understand.

I had it all planned so perfectly.

Oh, wait. That's is!

What?

Silly me. I forgot the acid.

What's the matter, Supie?

No steam left in the old locomotive?

I hope you're taking notes.

Not now.

But puddin',

Batman has headed your way!

Get out.

Pardon my haste exit.

We have a pest control problem.

Feel free to expire any time.

I'll be back in a moment.

Two of the prize of one!

I love it.

And the best part is,

you're all going out with a smile.

Have a happy ending!

Hydrochloric Acid.

It will take a week

to eat through the wall.

No, wait.

Kryptonite.

Snap out of it, Kent,

or Joker gets the last laugh.

Keep your heads down!

- They're loose.

- That's not fair.

It's over, Joker.

It hasn't begun, Supie!

He's gotta be kidding.

- They're grenades!

- Expect the unexpected.

Thank you. I couldn't

have saved Lois without your help.

I'm aware of that.

Bruce! Bruce Wayne.

He was with me when Joker...

- Is he all right? Do you know?

- He is fine. Just fine.

I wish to assure all of Metropolis that

this explosion was not nuclear...

...and presents no danger

to the community.

Now, if you excuse me.

And what about the Joker,

Mr. Luthor?

You didn't answer the question.

What about Joker?

You heard the man.

What could have possessed me

to trust that clown?

Hello, Mr. J. I'm Batman!

Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!

I know, you are trying

to cheer me up, Harley.

But you see, anytime I lost

a billion dollar deal...

...it really kills my appetite!

Honestly, Lex, don't you think

I feel bad enough already?

You maniac! You idiot!

How dare you use one of

my laboratories for your...

Harley.

Put him down, baldy!

Mercy!

Here's for that punch in the face!

Can't we discuss this

like gentlemen?

Oh, listen to

Little Miss Can't-Take-A-Joke!

Thank you.

Have a seat, please.

Banzai!

You owe me an explanation.

The lab was a perfect setup.

How did I know

old bat brat would show up?

Batman?

He followed you to Metropolis?

Oh, right. Like it's my fault.

Look, I still got half of the kryptonite.

I can still finish the job.

But if I have to cook

with two men in tights...

...the prize goes up.

Unacceptable.

If you can't handle some mental case

in a fright mask, our deal is off.

Mercy, let's go!

Keep in mind,

this is your last chance.

- How you doin', slugger?

- A-okay, Mr. J.!

Hey, Smallville!

Come in. What's up?

I see you are holding up

after last night.

I've been...

I didn't realize you had company.

You might at least

tell me why you stopped by.

I have been nosing around.

I think I may know why the Joker

is suddenly after Superman.

Well, don't keep us in suspense.

I think he is in chorus with

your boyfriend's business partner.

With Lex? Are you sure?

I can't prove it, yet.

I suppose I could ask him.

What? Who?

What do you want?

Information. Regarding

a mutual of Queens.

What are you talking about?

I don't know any...

You know exactly who I mean.

Where is he?

What kind of deal

have you made with him?

I don't... I...

- Mr. Luthor, are you alright?

- Who is in there?

- Open up!

- He is in trouble.

- The door is locked.

- I don't have the keys.

Think about it. I'll be back.

Allright, break it.

- Mr. Luthor?

- Get out!

Contact the clown immediately.

It appears we'll have to deal

with his friend after all.

A transfer?

Just to the Planet's

Gotham City bureaux.

Is this mean you and Bruce...

We haven't made it formal

commitment or anything but...
