It was late in the evening. Four thugs with four laser rifles were standing out of a weapons depot standing guard while their boss was acquiring the goods. All the men were nervously looking up in the sky as if they were expecting something to fall out of the sky.
“Don’t you it’s dangerous to be carry weapons like those around.” came a voice behind the men.
All the men quickly spun around and saw a masculine dressed in blue with a red cape and the letter S on his chest.
“It’s Superman!” one of the thugs shouted and they all pointed their guns at him.
Superman’s eyes started to glow red and he shot heat beams at the guns destroying them instantly. The thugs started to panic and ran off in all directions. Superman was about to go after them when…
“ARGGGHHHH!” Superman screamed when a green ray of light hit him sending him crashing into a nearby depot.
“Well well. If it ain’t my old friend, Superman.” said a metallic voice.
Superman looked at the hole the ray of light came from and saw a green eye and green light emitting from the figure’s chest. Metallo, an android with half a human face and a kryptonite core, slowly emerged from the hole. As Metallo got closer to him Superman started to feel his power leaving him.
“Where is your lead armor?” Metallo mocked Superman kicking him in the stomach. Superman remained on the ground unable to move. “I’m going to make sure you don’t interfere in anyone else’s business.” Metallo picked up Superman and his chest started charging for the final blow.
A batarang hit Metallo in the head forcing him to drop Superman. Another batarang embedded itself in Metallo’s chest near the kryptonite and it started beeping.
“What the…” Metallo started when the batarang exploded popping the kryptonite out of Metallo leaving him powerless.
“You’re getting sloppy.” Batman said appearing out of nowhere picking up the kryptonite and putting it in his utility belt.
“What are you doing here in Metropolis?” Superman asked standing up holding his head.
“Joker escaped from Arkham and I followed him here.” Batman explained.
“Why would Joker come here?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m here?”
“I can help you look for him.”
“What about him?” Batman asked pointing at Metallo’s motionless body.
“I’ll turn him to the authorities.”
“Here.” Batman said handing Superman an earpiece. “I’ll call you if I find anything.”
Superman picked up Metallo and flew off to the Metropolis Police Department.

Lois Lane was peacefully sleeping in her bed when someone turned on the lights.
“Wakey Wakey.”
Lois recognized the voice and sat up and saw the green haired, white faced, purple suit wearing clown prince of crime standing in her bedroom doorway.
“Joker!” Lois exclaimed.
“The one and only.” Joker said. “You looks lovely Ms. Lane” eyeing Lois’ black chemise.
“What do you want!?” Lois demanded.
“Well…” Joker said sitting down on the bed. “I want another crack at taking out blue boy.” Joker slowly edged closer to Lois smiling his evil grin. “And you are going to help me.”
“Fat chance.” Lois said punching Joker in the face, making a dash for the door.
Lois was almost out of the room when Harley Quinn appeared point a gun at Lois.
“Nighty Night.” Harley said pulling the trigger releasing knockout gas.
Lois stepped back coughing then fell to the floor fast asleep.
“Setup the camera.” Joker ordered angrily standing over Lois rubbing his face. “I’ll get her ready.”

Superman was flying through the night sky looking for any sign of the Joker while Batman searched the ground in his batmobile.
“Superman.” came Batman’s voice over the earpiece he had given to Superman. “Get over to Lois’ apartment.”
Superman turned around and rocketed into the night sky.

“Did something happen to Lois?” Superman asked anxiously when he reached the apartment.
Batman pointed to a box on the table with Superman’s name on it. Superman over to pick it up and started to open it.
“I wouldn’t.” Batman commented. “You never know what going to happen when it comes to the Joker.”
Ignoring Batman Superman continued opening the box. Batman took a step back. Superman opened the lid and a custard pie strung out hitting him right in the face. Superman wiped the custard of his face and threw the box aside. The box hit the wall and a tape fell out. Batman picked it up and put it in the VCR.
Lois appeared on screen. Her hands were tied behind the chair, her knees and ankles were tied together. She appeared to be laughing but a white piece of cloth reduced the sound to nothing more than a muffle. Tears started forming in her eyes because she was laughing so hard.
“No…” Batman whispered fearing the worst had happened.
Joker’s head appeared on screen. “Don’t worry. Ms. Lane is just playing with Harley.” Joker said pulling the camera back showing Harley tickling Lois’s feet with a little feather. “If you want Ms. Lane back safe and sound come to Gotham City. She’ll be waiting. Right?” Joker asked zooming in on Lois.
“Mmmmpphfh!” Lois laughed shaking her head as if trying to tell Superman something. Then the camera shifted back to Joker who was laughing manically. Then the screen went black.
