Subsequently, Clark arrives at Lois' apartment, wanting to cheque upwards on her, all the same he is surprised to come across Bruce there and attempts to get out. However, Lois stops him and asks to at least tell her why he stopped past, Clark then reveals to Lois and Bruce of how he believes that Luthor is involved with the Joker, but tin't prove information technology yet.

With her in danger of being caught in the crossfire, Batman snatches her up and together they effort to run. They are cornered by the robot in the printer room. As it tries to button him into the press, his greatcoat and cowl are defenseless and pulled off, revealing his identity to Lois. She manages to distract the robot from killing Bruce, long plenty for Superman to arrive and destroy it.

The Joker prepares to destroy everything Luthor built.

Luthor is informed of the Wayne/Lex T-7'south failure and realizes that he'll exist connected to the crime. He decides to cut his losses and orders one more meeting with Joker.

Luthor offers to pay for his release, just Joker says he isn't interested in money anymore. Instead, he wants to destroy everything Luthor congenital, to Luthor'southward horror.

The super Wayne/Lex T-vii carries a "gift".

Batman and Superman make it simply are attacked by giant versions of the Wayne/Lex T-7'southward before they tin stop Joker from taking off. Working together, they destroy well-nigh of the robots, only then are faced with one that has Mercy strapped to its side as a shield, preventing them from hit it. Batman manages to go the robot off the ground and Superman deactivates it without hurting Mercy. Mercy tells them of Joker's plans, which Superman realizes ways destroying half of Metropolis, resulting is mass casualties. The grouping is confronted by a larger, more advanced robot.

Joker goes on a destructive spree over Metropolis. Batman pursues in the Batwing. Joker damages the airplane with missiles, and Batman is forced to squirt, but manages to lath the plane.

The ship explodes and apparently takes the Joker along with it.

While Batman deals with the wing, Superman is pummelled past the robot until it tries to blast him with a heavy door. The door, which had been lined with lead to block Superman'southward x-ray vision, protects him from the Kryptonite and he destroys the robot, in the procedure shattering the final of the Kryptonite to pieces. Superman heads off to help stop the Joker.

Batman confronts and fights the Joker, leaving Harley to fly the wing, but she only succeeds in shutting off its engines. Fortunately, Superman arrives just in fourth dimension to steer the wing away from a standoff with a building. In the fight, Joker accidentally drops his entire pocketbook of marble grenades while going for his gun. As the grenades start to explode, the heroes save Luthor and Harley but are unable to reach the Joker in fourth dimension. Equally the Joker goes for a parachute, he is trapped by the grenades rolling towards him. In the face of death, the Joker starts laughing maniacally. The grenades go off, setting off an explosion, destroying the wing equally it crashes into the ocean.

With the troubles over, Angela Chen reports on the incident: Joker's trunk has not been institute. Luthor is under investigation, but information technology is unlikely he will be charged with any crime. Nevertheless, Bruce Wayne, discovering that Luthor has been developing military versions of their robots without his blessing, terminates his bargain with LexCorp. Harley is returned to Arkham Asylum, much to the entertainment of a beaten up Mercy, who is watching her public arrest on TV and enjoying the last laugh at her expense.

Sadly for Bruce, Lois says she adores him, but can't get over his secret activities. He said goodbye, and he and Clark exchange a well-intended good day before Bruce leaves for Gotham, leaving Metropolis and Lois in Superman'southward care once again.

In function iii, when Joker drops his bag of marble grenades, the rolling marbles is reused footage from the marble grenade scene in function two.
Because the Laughing Dragon was carved (approximately) 30 years earlier the events of this episode, information technology tin can be deduced that Superman/Clark Kent is at to the lowest degree xxx and possibly older (going by Earth years, equally Kryptonians physically age much more slowly than humans do, as shown in "The Call", where Superman is in his 80s but appears in his 50s).

Product inconsistencies

Trivia

The title is a reference to World'southward Finest Comics, an anthology comic which ofttimes featured the squad of Superman and Batman after their first meeting in Superman #76. Prior to that, the comic had simply printed Batman and Superman in separate, unrelated stories.
When Luthor tells The Joker that he tin't be connected to Superman's death, he responds "Oh, you'll exist Mr. Clean." Mr. Clean is a lather brand that features a bald human in its logo.
The Joker offers Lois a scoop he calls "The Death of Superman"; this was a major storyline in the comics nearly Superman'due south supposed death at the hands of Doomsday.
Batman and Joker'southward involvement in this episode acquit strong similarities to the flick Batman: Mask of the Phantasm : Joker is supposed to be paid to finish the bear witness'southward hero (though his position on the deal is reversed), Bruce'due south love interest (both played by Dana Delany) is used to get to the testify's hero and discovers he is Batman, and Joker is nearly killed in a behemothic explosion acquired past what he was using to fight the hero(es) at the end.
On the Batman: The Brave And The Bold episode "The Super-Batman of Planet X!" Kevin Conroy, Dana Delany, and Clancy Brown all phonation Zur-En-Arrh counterparts of their characters here; The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, Vilsi Valar (a reporter), and Rohtul (Luthor spelled backwards), respectively.
Tim Daly narrowly shell Kevin Conroy for the role of Joe Hackett on the TV series Wings , before Conroy was cast in Batman: The Animated Series . This is the offset time that Daly and Conroy have worked together since so.
Batman taking out the second round of Joker's goons in the Lexcorp warehouse strongly resembles the Batman: The Blithe Series intro in that Batman dodges the bullets the same manner and disarms both goons with a single batarang.

Bruce asking Lois if there's some "special signal" to call Superman and her responding that he's not like Batman is likely a reference to the Bat-signal, which was really imitated by Luminus in "Solar Power" to signal Superman. Superman'southward signature signalling device appears later in "Superman'southward Pal" when he gives a point watch to Jimmy Olsen.
Because it aired in the evening as a special presentation, this episode won a Prime-Fourth dimension Emmy Laurels. TMS are very proud of this, and display the Emmy in their lobby.
Unlike other episodes where Joker seemingly perishes, Batman actually implies that Joker had died on the Lexwing, where Batman says in reply to Harley Quinn calling out her pet name to the Clown Prince of Crime "At this point, he probably is [pudding]."
In the episode "Krypto's Scriypto: Office ii" of the not-DCAU series Krypto the Superdog, Krypto prevents a ship from sinking past pulling up a ladder and using it to cover the hole in the transport with his oestrus vision similarly to how Superman used a lifeboat to cover the hole in the SS Atlantic with his heat vision to prevent its sinking in this episode.
The comic volume adaptation of this contains an extra moment on Folio 26 where Bruce mentions to Alfred how he believes that Superman doesn't empathize the trouble of using fauna strength against a foe with a warped mind like The Joker.
in function 2 afterward Superman flew Lois and Batman out of the called-for LexCorp manufacturing plant, despite it being Batman who pushed Superman away (he uses his left elbow to swat Superman's right forearm) the episode'due south accompanying Described Video incorrectly says "Superman flies with Batman and Lois and touches down across the parking lot beyond the burning building.
