BATMAN
Bullets fly back and forth between the police and Black Mask's men. Glass windows of Cop cars are shattered, tires are flattened by bullets. Suddenly there is a loud whaling high pitched sound. Then hundreds of bats swarm the building Black Mask and his men are in. They surrender and are taken into custody.
Later Batman and Bat Woman return to the cave at the same time. "I'm afraid I have some disturbing news sir." Alfred says as Batman exits the Batmobile and Bat Woman dismounts her cycle. "What is it Alfred?"
"Lex Luthor escaped prison in Metropolis. He had help from the Joker."
"Joker wants Luthor to help him kill me…And then he will help Luthor kill Superman."
"How do you kill the most powerful man in the world?" Barbara asks.
"Kryptonite."
"I thought you stole the rest of Luthor's Kryptonite."
He looks at Barbara, "I did…The Alien Lobo had some. He used it to subdue Superman and then he tossed it. Professor Hamilton took it and locked it away at Star Labs…He has been studying it to find a cure for Superman…" He sighs, "Barbara you will remain here and protect the streets of Gotham…Alfred, you and Dick are coming with me." He called Lucious to have him find a secluded building on the outskirts of Metropolis he could operate from. He also bought a hotel and the top floors remodeled into one large house for Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne's cover for going to Metropolis was to do business with Star Labs. Four days later they leave for Metropolis.
The first thing Bruce does is set up a meeting with Professor Emile Hamilton. Then he disguises himself as a criminal and gets caught. He breaks free and disguises himself as a cop and hacks MCPD police network. Then Bruce drives to the secret lair, where the Bat-Wing and Batmobile are waiting. It is midnight and Batman flies the Batwing over the city. Suddenly Superman appears and signals him. Batman ejects from the Bat-Wing and glides down to the roof of a building.
"Batman…Or do you prefer Bruce Wayne."
He grins, "Batman will do. Clark Kent lives up to his reputation…"
"How long have you known?"
"Since I returned to Gotham. Upon my return I looked into my father's old deals…It was buried under a lot red tape and paper, but I found the adoption of a baby named Clark Kent…After that it was easy. And how long have you known about me?"
"I suspected you wanted revenge when I saw you at your parent's funeral…I did some digging traveled to the places you trained…"
"I suppose you know why I am here?"
"Joker and Luthor…I can take those two down, by myself…"
"So could I…But Joker is not someone to be underestimated and neither is Luthor."
"Are you proposing that we work together?"
"I am…"
Superman sighs, "I don't like the way you do things. But you do protect the people. Vigilantism is outlawed in Metropolis…If the Police catch you."
Batman grunts, "They won't."
"Try not to hurt anyone…I respect many of the cops that serve this city."
"I'll remember that. I will be in touch."
SUPERMAN
He watches as Batman runs, leaps off the building, glides to the Bat-Wing, and flies off. Then he flies home to Lois. "Clark." She says running into his arms as soon as he steps off the balcony. "I saw the Bat-thing."
He smiles, "Wing."
"Yes the Bat-Wing…Is everything all right."
"He wants to work together to stop Joker and Luthor."
"And you agreed."
"Yeah so I can keep an eye on him."
"You don't trust him?"
"I admire him in many ways." Later Clark and Lois are at a press conference given by the police.
"Lt. do you have any leads on the Joker or Lex Luthor?" A reporter asks.
"No we don't."
"Lt. Turbin what about the Batman?" Lois asks.
"There is a no vigilante law in Metropolis…If the Batman gets in our way my men have orders to shoot to kill."
BATMAN
Upon returning to his hideout on the edge of the city Batman gets to work on finding the Joker and Lex Luthor. "Lucious are there any Wayne Tech Satellites over Metropolis?"
"Yes sir there are two for our cellular service in the city."
"Accessing orbital surveillance…A an eighteen, wheeler entered the city and drove into a warehouse owned by Man-World
"A dummy corporation owned by Walter Manheim." Lucious says.
Batman leaves the base in the Batmobile. As he drives up the highway a police car starts chasing him. He fires an EMP dart at the car disabling it. He smashes through the front gate and the men start shooting at the Batmobile.
LUTHOR
"Boss! The Batman is here!" A man says running into the makeshift lab where Luthor and Joker are working.
"Told you he would find us." Joker says. "I'll take the Kryptonite and meet you at the rendezvous."
"Fine!" As they load up the pieces to his new battle suit Luthor pauses to watch the monitor as Batman takes down four armed men like they were nothing. Then he looks at the Camera and throws a bat-a-rang at it. Luthor escapes through the sewers with twenty men and his suit. While the Joker escapes using a truck disguised as an armored bank truck.
"All units be advised Batman is at the Man-World warehouse on rampage." Luthor says hacking the police band. When they are half a mile away Luthor blows the tunnel.
BATMAN
"Master Wayne…You had best get out of there…The Police are on the way.
He ignores the warning using his sonar vision to find the Joker and Luthor. When the dynamite explodes he feels the trimmers from below. Batman heads to the Batmobile and drives off. As he exits the warehouse parking lot, the police show up and give chase. He drives fast enough so that they can keep up. He leads them through the city and towards a blockade of cars.
"You have nowhere to go Batman! Surrender now!"
The Batmobile unleashes an EMP wave that disables the cars. Then he drives through the cars as they shoot at him. Soon a helicopter appears overhead, "Autodrive…" He commands. Then he fires a device at the helicopter. He takes control of the helicopter and lands it on a building.
SUPERMAN
Superman floats in the air above Metropolis watching the chase. He waits to see how Batman will handle the situation, before intervening. He breaths a sigh of relief when not one cop is harmed in the chase. Then he flies towards Batman's hideout. "You must be Alfred."
"Yes sir."
He nods as the Batmobile drives into the makeshift base. "I thought we agreed to work together." He says as Batman exits the Batmobile.
"We did…But since they have the Kryptonite." He removes his mask, "I thought I would go alone."
"Professor Hamilton is building me led lined armor to protect me from the Kryptonite."
"Good to know."
