Superman is in a costume similar to the one he wore in the 1940s.>Dialogue Sample: 1MvjWfDUBATMAN: I don’t trust you either. You have maximum power and minimal control. The only thing keeping you in check is a pound of rock I keep in my closet. But the mission takes priority. There is a government agent named Amanda Waller. She’s plotting against me. The lawsuit with Reese is a part of that. They're pushing a conspiracy I work for Wayne, destroying my image because she can’t stop me physically. If I move on The Riddler openly, it plays into her hands. But you’re a neutral party. If you stop him, the city will be safe, the mission can continue.
The alien touches his ear.
SUPERMAN: Andi, what do you know about Coleman Reese?
LOIS: *I swear I’m picking codenames next time* Mostly nothing. Before Waynetech a LexedIn profile that can't be more than a year old. That’s it. No socials, not even a yearbook.
The mortal god stares in the distance. Your body language training tells you he’s lost in thought. But this is no human body.
He's looking for something.
SUPERMAN: I can’t find him. If he knows how to hide from me-
BATMAN: There’s no way he’s a civilian.
SUPERMAN: The amount of superscience Riddler has is too dangerous to be out in the wild... Rest assured, if Reese is on this planet, my people can find him.
LOIS: Oh, I didn’t know I was “your people” now. Do I get a nametag?
Superman furrows his brow.
BATMAN: Take this.
You toss him a portable Bat-Signal.
BATMAN: It’s a bit easier than fire from heaven.
SUPERMAN: I’ll be in touch
He flies off. The sonic boom shakes the aged windows of the movie hall.
