"You're going to what?! Bruce do you even hear yourself?" Clark asks, as Bruce makes his intentions clear.

Clark pulls Bruce into an empty room.

"I know exactly what I said, I need to do this." Bruce says.

"No, you don't." Clark warns.

"What would you know boy scout? I hold back against enemies all the time, this time…

"What would I know? I hold back on my full strength every day.I have to always keep myself in check to ensure no one gets hurt." Clark says.

"Fifteen years in Gotham, and how many good people are there? How many stayed that way?" Bruce asks.

"Yes, there are bad people out there, but Bruce there are good people too. Think of your friends: Jim, Alfred, Dick, Tim, Barbara… Jason." Clark says.

"Jason is dead, and Barbara is halfway there herself." Bruce retorts.

"Ever since I met you; your code was unbreakable. Yes, your methods are dark sometimes but you always knew where the line was and not to cross it." Clark says.

"If I had crossed this line with him thirteen years ago, think of all the lives I could have saved." Bruce says.

"And all the other lives you would have taken." Clark responds.

The two just stare at each other for a moment.

"And I guess that's why you won't let Oliver join the League." Bruce finally says.

This time it's Clark that's left speechless.

Just then, the television in the room goes blank. It comes back on revealing the Joker. Joker had taken over all the TVs in the city, it was one of his oldest tricks.

"Greetings Gotham, your dear old Uncle J is back in town." Joker says.

Bruce and Clark watch on. Joker looked quite a bit older than the last time Bruce had fought him. He was also wearing a white suit as opposed to his trademark purple one.

"I know I've been gone for a while, but I spent that time working on new material, and now that I'm back, I'm ready to give this city a wedgie again! HA HA HA." Joker exclaims.

As the camera pans out, Batman can tell exactly where Joker is.

"Ace!" Batman calls out.

"Ace Chemicals?" Clark asks.

Clark looks over at Bruce just as Bruce throws a pellet at Clark. The pellet contained a knock out gas that Bruce had infused with Kryptonite.

"Bruce… no." Clark says as he collapses.

Bruce runs off.
