...yeah, it's that serious.

Hey, chin up, Smallville.

With me out of the picture,

you might get a shot a stardom.

Lois! Clark!

I just got the word

cruise ship SS Atlantis...

...has sending a distress call

200 miles off-shore.

Exactly. Call the Coast Guard to confirm

and cruise line for a statement.

You're not out of here yet, Lane.

LAFF NIGHT AT HOBBS BAY

What the devil is he up to now?

A change of attire, sir?

How fast can we get to Hobbs Bay?

If I maybe required

when you're home, sir?

- What's the problem, captain?

- What do you mean?

- You send out a distress call, didn't you?

- Not on my authorization.

There is the culprit.

It's broadcasting an electronic beacon.

If one of my crews is responsible

for this prank, they...

What is it? What's happening?

Whoever sent that distress signal...

...just provided the distress.

Copy-bat! Copy-bat!

Suffering from

propulsion envy, Batboy?

TARGET IDENTIFIED

Think of it's a welcome wagon Bats...

...welcoming you

to the nearest mortuary.

Oh, this could be a fair fight after all!

And who wants to see that?

Evening, Miss Lane.

Where is Mr. Kent?

Probably have asking some corn.

- Mrs. Lane?

- Yeah, I'm still here.

Superman is towing the ship to harbour?

Can you find out how close he is?

Yeah, I'll hold.

Let me guess.

You're the only one here.

Is there something I should know?

- How do I contact Superman?

- He's out at sea!

Never around when you need him.

Stay here. I'm the one it's after.

Bruce?

So when were you going to tell me?

The honeymoon?

Stay back.

Did I miss anything?

Reports to get the target acqusition

negative, Mr. Luthor. Sorry.

He survived.

He lasted long enough

to Superman to save him.

- Then, they have the robot.

- I know.

- But, Lex, they'll trace it back to you...

- I know!

Call the clown.

I need one last meeting.

- How could you have lied to me like that?

- Now, I never actually said I wasn't Batman.

You want to know

what really galls me?

I mean, besides the fact that

the new man in my life is really two men?

It's that I'm sitting on

the hottest story of the year...

..."Batman Unmasked!" and there's

not a blessed thing I can do about it!

- Then you really do love me.

- I'll get some iodine for that scrape.

Burning, stinging iodine.

- I see, she is taking it well.

- It's ironic, you know.

She likes Bruce Wayne

and she likes Superman.

It's the other two guys

she's not crazy about.

Too bad we can't mix-and-match.

I'm not used to be rescued.

Thanks.

I owe you one.

That robot tonight, it came

from Lexcorp. I can prove it.

That's why I'm here. I figured you might

wanna help me, bring Luthor in.

A partnership? You're joking!

Actually I'm having trouble finding Luthor

and I thought you might have some ideas.

I might. She's not gonna like this,

me leaving so soon for another fight.

Tell me about it.

That cut on your shoulder

look pretty nasty, Bruce.

I know a good doctor who...

Oh, no.

Has to be done.

I don't suppose a stern lecture on

unnecessary risk-taking is going to sway you.

Sorry.

I didn't think so.

Just be... careful.

Look at all the toys!

Santa has been good to you, Lex.

Joker, we got serious problems.

A flying wing!

Twenty times bigger than Batman's.

- And knowing you, a hundred times lethal!

- Joker!

Did you bring

the rest of the cryptonite?

Right here, cromedome.

What's the plan?

Pay back.

What's so funny?

Don't you get it, Harl?

We've been set up to take the fall.

He can't do that.

Oh, no? How is this sound?

When I've heard that one of my robots

had been commandeer to kill Batman...

...I personally came here to investigate

and much to my surprise, I found to you two.

It'll be your words against puddin's.

I... I mean, Mr. J's.

Somehow poodle, I don't think

we're gonna get the chance to say much.

You... You mean,

he's gonna kill us?

No, she is.

I'm horde violence.

Now, this is funny, Mr. J...

...except we never gonna collect

our billion bucks now.

True, but I see

a delightful consolation prize.

Taa-daa.

Nothing like a nice big smile.

- All done.

- I love the personalize all my stuff.

Very amusing. So how much is it

going to cost me to get out of this?

I'm not a material guy, Lexy.

No, what I want now

is for you to know...

...what it feels like

to lose everything you have.

Everything you've ever build,

like I lost everything to old Bat-boy.

We have incoming.

Bats and fly boy!

I'll be right in. B-bye.

See anything?

Luthor's been lining all his buildings

with lead. Blocks my X-ray vision.

Well, there's always

the direct approach.

You're learning.

A little distraction would be useful

right now, wouldn't you say, Lexy?

I think your toys

can handle this by themselves.

Besides, I hate to spoil

my new paint job.

Now, let see here.

Ignition!

- I couldn't have done it better myself.

- Helps if you're prepared.

- Where is Luthor?

- Joker took him in the Lex Wing.

He said, he'd make him lose

everything he ever build.

Luthor has build half of Metropolis.

Go after the Joker.

I shouldn't be long.

How is it feel, Lexy boy?

Everything with your name on it,

is going to be ravage.

Batman! It's always Batman!

What you got in the way of

air-to-air missiles, Lex?

- You're asking "me" for help?

- If I go down, you go down.

It's a red switch.

Which red...?

Oh, the heck with it!

Lead lined door.

I have to thank, Luthor.

Who is flying this thing?

Do something for God sake!

Inny, miny, miney, moo.

It's gonna blow!

I'll get Quinn, you take Luthor.

- Puddin'!

- At this point, he probably is.

Hello, this is Angela Chen.

Though the search

for the Joker's body continues...

...the Coast Guard reports,

it's extremely unlikely...

...that Gotham's most notorious

criminal survive the crash.

In related news,

billionaire Lex Luthor...

...was again rigorously

grilled by the D.A.'s office...

...over his allege connection

to the Joker's rampage.

His statements have been questioned

both by local law officials...

...and industrialist Bruce Wayne who

announced the immediate termination...

...of his partnership with Lexcorp.

And add a later note...

...Joker accomplice Harley Quinn,

was returned to Arkham Asylum...

...for another

round of rehabilitation.

I want a lawyer! I want a doctor!

I want a cheese sandwich!

Now that's funny!

I still wish you change

your mind about Gotham.

I adore you, Bruce, but now there is

a lot about you I don't know...

...and I'm not sure I wanna know.

I understand.

Take care of yourself.

Come to make sure I'm leaving?

Actually, I thought

we worked pretty well together.

Not that I wanna make

a regular event.

She's all yours now,

if you can handle that.

But you'd better be good to her...

because I know where you live.
