Synopsis “World’s Finest Part Three”

Previously in Part One: The cash-strapped Joker has hired himself out to Lex Luthor with the promise that he’ll kill Superman using a stolen kryptonite statue. The Batman, as Bruce Wayne, has followed the Joker to Metropolis under the pretence of overseeing a business deal with Lex. Wayne’s romance with Lois Lane does not impressed Superman. In Part Two: The Joker’s first attempt to kill Superman fails when he is saved by the Batman, but the Joker manages to escape with half the kryptonite. Lex and Joker then realise that they’ll have to deal with both heroes. Superman is drawn away with a fake distress call while the Joker ambushes Batman with a Wayne-Lex T7 (a spider-like robot Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor had been co-developing).

Quotes

Luthor: <chuckling> What makes you think you can kill Superman when you can’t even handle a mere mortal in a Halloween costume.Joker: <menacingly> There is nothing mere about “Bat-mortal”.

Batman: <menacingly> Where’s the Joker?Bingo: Who knows! Making Ha Ha with Harley Quinn! Urk. I don’t know. Honest! I never went back after he muscled in, I don’t want anything to do with that clown.Superman: That’s enough. I think you got your answer.

Synopsis “World’s Finest” Part One

It’s a dark and stormy night as an antiques shop owner closes up. A beautiful young-woman stops him from closing the door and tells him “Hang on their Clyde!” She’s Harley Quinn, the Joker’s girl, and this is Gotham City. Moments later the poor man is lying on the floor, convulsing with laughter from the Joker’s gas, and the Joker himself is prowling around the shop. He spies a very heavy carved statue, “the Laughing Dragon”, which he rips from its base and gives to Harley to carry.

Quotes

Superman: Why are you willing to risk your life for Luthor? What does he have on you?Mercy: Nothing. Before I met him I was living on the streets like a stray dog. He took me in, made me what I am.

Synopsis

Previously in “Stolen Memories“: All Kryptonian computer networks, libraries, and research facilities were integrated into the Brainiac artificial intelligence. Brainiac frustrated Jor-El’s attempts to prove that Krypton was doomed because it was too busy downloading itself into an escape craft. After Krypton exploded Brainiac began a campaign of terror across the cosmos. It destroyed dozens of civilisations after stealing their scientific and cultural records so that it alone would have that information. Brainiac eventually reached the planet Earth were it was seemingly destroyed in a collaboration between Jor-El’s son (Kal-El alias Clark Kent alias Superman) and the industrialist Lex Luthor. However, Luthor arrogantly ignored the strange computer code that Brainiac had left in his systems…

Villains Day Off fan-film

Share |
By Jason Kirk / 30 December 2009 / Fan Films / 0 Comments

This great fan film was the 2009 Award Winner at the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL. It was written and directed by George Doerr VI and features Thomas Hayes as Lex Luthor and Doerr as the Joker. I particularly liked the “Villains Just Want A Day Off Song” sung by Poison Ivy (Jenny Garofalo) to the tune of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”.

Synopsis

Previously in “The Last Son of Krypton”:

  • Krypton, a technologically advanced world destroyed before its time by an nuclear chain reaction within its core. The scientist Jor-El had predicted the explosion, but Brainiac, Krypton’s sentient worldwide computer network, defeated his attempts to save the human population. Brainiac saved itself by transmitting its program to a space probe. At the last moment Jor-El was able to save his infant son, Kal-El, by sending him into space in a small rocketship (“The Last Son of Krypton Part One“).
  • Kal-El’s rocketship carried him to Earth where he was found by the Kansas farming couple of Jonathan and Martha Kent. The Kents adopted the foundling as their own son and named him Clark Kent. Clark started to display amazing abilities as he aged. It was only in High School that he learnt the truth about his origin and the circumstances of his adoption.
  • As an adult Kal-El/Clark created two disguises – a public bright-red/blue costumed heroic identity and a secret identity as a mild-mannered glasses-wearing Clark Kent. Shortly after Clark had begun working as a journalist for the Metropolis Daily Planet he used his costumed alter-ego to save his colleague, Lois Lane, during a terrorist attack on  a Lexcorp publicity event. The terrorists stolen a prototype battle suit. The costumed Clark pursued the thieves until one of their errant missiles connected with a passing airliner (“The Last Son of Krypton Part Two“).

Synopsis

The unearthly green glow of kryptonite bathes the Lexcorp penthouse as Lex Luthor stands over the body of the dying Superman. For years, Lex Luthor has hidden a catalogue of illegal schemes and plots behind the facade of a respectable billionaire businessman and philanthropist. The vainglorious Lex is more than happy to boast about his criminal activities safe in the knowledge that Superman is about to take that confession to his grave. However, the Justice League has called Luthor’s bluff. J’onn J’onzz has been impersonating Superman and Luthor’s confession is all they need to finally arrest him.

Green Lantern and the Batman burst into the room, but Luthor blows up the penthouse office and escapes across Metropolis in a one-person jet craft. Its only then, once the kryptonite is off the table, that Superman intervenes. Luthor’s missiles only delay his capture, but the chase ends suddenly as the little craft tumbles out of the sky. Superman catches it, but he is surprised and concerned to discover that Lex has passed out, the apparent victim of a massive seizure.
