Quotes 

• Lois Lane : Hey, Smallville! Come in. What's up?

  Clark Kent : I see you're holding up after last night. I've been wa...

  [seeing Bruce is already there, he turns to leave] 

  Clark Kent : Oh. I didn't realize you had company.

  Lois Lane : Whoa! You might as well tell me why you stopped by.

  Clark Kent : I've been nosing around. I think I may know why the Joker is suddenly after Superman.

  Bruce Wayne : Well? Don't keep us in suspense.

  Clark Kent : I think he's in cahoots with your boyfriend's business partner.

  Lois Lane : With Lex? Are you sure?

  Clark Kent : I can't prove it... yet.

  Bruce Wayne : I suppose I could... ask him.

• Bruce Wayne : [seeing the Joker's blimp fly by]  What the devil is he up to now?

  Alfred : [bringing the Batsuit]  A change of attire, sir?

  Bruce Wayne : How fast can we get to Hobb's Bay?

  Alfred : [opening a case, revealing a custom jetpack]  If I may be so bold, when in Rome, sir...

• Lois Lane : [finishing an article]  "The Senator declined comment." Done.

  Bruce Wayne : [kissing her cheek]  And not a moment too soon.

  Lois Lane : Bruce! When did you...

  Bruce Wayne : About three paragraphs ago. I didn't want to distract you. Ready to do the town?

  Lois Lane : Give me a minute to see the chief. Then I'm all yours.

  [stopping at Clark's desk] 

  Lois Lane : Clark, keep an eye on Bruce, will you? I'll be right back.

  Clark Kent : Actually, Lois...

  Lois Lane : Don't be intimidated. Regale him with madcap tales of the nightlife in Smallville.

• Dan Turpin : Swell. Now Gotham's sending us their wackos. Don't worry, Mr. Wayne. The SCU will get her back safe and sound.

  Bruce Wayne : Thank you, Inspector.

  [Turpin leaves] 

  Bruce Wayne : You realize she's just the bait.

  Superman : I'll be careful.

  Bruce Wayne : Careful won't cut it. With Joker, expect the unexpected.

  Superman : Maybe you should have remembered that.

• Clark Kent : Any luck finding the comedian?

  Bruce Wayne : Three nights... and not so much as a green hair.

  Clark Kent : Of course, you have been dividing your time between work and Lois.

  Bruce Wayne : Is that a problem?

  Clark Kent : Let's just say I'm concerned. Your reputation is... dubious, in and out of costume.

  Bruce Wayne : Don't worry. I'm taking Lois quite seriously. Besides, it seems to me you had your chance.

• Lex Luthor : What do you want?

  Batman : Information, regarding a mutual acquaintance.

  Lex Luthor : What are you talking about? I don't know any...

  Batman : [punching Mercy as she draws a gun behind him]  You know exactly who I mean. Where is he? What kind of deal have you made with him?

  Lex Luthor : I don't... I...

  Batman : [leaving as Lex's security calls for him, pounding on the door]  Think about it. I'll be back.

• Superman : Thank you. I couldn't have saved Lois without your help.

  Batman : I'm aware of that.

  [summoning the Batplane, he fires his grappling hook and flies away] 

  Lois Lane : Bruce! Bruce Wayne, he was with me when Joker... is he all right? Do you know?

  Superman : He's fine. Just fine.

• Superman : It's over, Joker.

  The Joker : [releasing a satchel of marbles]  It hasn't begun, Supey.

  Superman : He's gotta be kidding.

  [the marbles begin to explode] 

  Superman : They're grenades!

  Batman : Expect the unexpected.

• Lois Lane : This city is gorgeous at night.

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

  [Lois blushes a little] 

  Bruce Wayne : Lois... about Clark Kent. Are you and he, uh... I mean...

  Lois Lane : No, Bruce. Your only competition flew away some time ago.

  The Joker : [just as they're about to kiss]  My, you do live dangerously. Don't you realize you're moving in on Superman's main squeeze?

  Bruce Wayne : [as his henchmen surround them, Joker shocks Lois with a joy buzzer]  Take her hands off her, you...

  The Joker : [his henchmen fire their guns, eventually forcing Bruce over the balcony]  See that he's street pizza. In this town, some flying fool could have caught him.

• The Joker : [trapping Batman in with Superman and Lois]  Two for the price of one. I love it! And the best part is, you're all going out with a smile.

  Harley Quinn : Have a happy...!

  Batman : [throwing the kryptonite at the TV, then looking for a way out]  Hydrochloric acid. It would take a week to eat through the wall.

  Superman : [weakly]  No... wait. Kry... kryptonite.

  Batman : [quietly, after using the acid to melt the kryptonite down]  Snap out of it, Kent, or Joker gets the last laugh.

  Superman : [flying up to rescue Lois]  Keep your heads down.

  Harley Quinn : [feeling the tremor from Superman crashing through a door]  Uh-oh. They're loose!

  The Joker : That's not fair.
