Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 Page #3

When the parents groups came after us,

you're the one they pointed to.

You act like a criminal.

Heh, we are criminals, Clark.

We always have been.

You're still one too.

Only difference is you have a boss.

And you answer to no one.

You know, we almost

had this talk 10 years ago...

... when you wouldn't go along

with the deal we made.

Everyone else agreed.

Diana went back to her people...

... Hal left the planet.

And Oliver? Did he agree?

That's not how I wanted that to go.

He was all torn up about it too.

- He made it necessary. Like...

- Like I'm about to?

- Do you even remember why you retired?

- I remember.

Look. Either shut it down or

one of these days someone with authority...

... is gonna tell me to come stop you.

- And when that happens...

- When that happens...

... may the best man win.

I have to go. We'll finish this later.

No hurry.

Brave American forces

are now engaged in direct combat...

... with Soviet troops in Corto Maltese.

Now, those Soviets would like to see us

turn our tails and run.

But we've got to protect our interest...

I mean, stand up for freedom...

... and the good people of Corto Maltese.

So don't you fret.

We've got God on our side.

Or the next best thing, anyway.

We got a sweet show tonight, folks.

Dr. Ruth Heizraumer...

... the wet hamburger bun contest...

... and a man who's brought

a lot of smiles to the world.

See you then.

It was great to hear from you, boss.

Most of the other guys...

... well, they gave up on you.

But I knew you'd come back.

Oh, you look great. Anyway,

I whipped up the lipstick you asked for.

And Bobby and Mary,

they can't wait to help.

Oh, I also made you these,

special filters.

Wear them tonight

and only breathe through your nose.

And all these years I just held my breath.

Really?

I could kiss you.

Robin's last class is about to end.

Go pick her up at school.

And if Miss Kelley should have something

better to do with her evening?

There's nothing better.

Where you been all this time?

You're, like, gone.

Been busy.

You gonna make

it to the fairgrounds tomorrow?

Opening day? Our tradition?

Ugh. It's this night job.

Details. As in more.

Just helping some spud. It'd bore you.

Gotta fly.

Hey, Alfred.

First two teams are with me

on the roof, the rest of you are down here.

I'm not waiting for the Joker.

And you can bet Batman isn't either.

Neither of them is leaving here a free man.

- Is that understood?

- Yes, ma'am.

More on the eyes, please.

You want lipstick, handsome?

I brought my own, thanks.

Wonderful to see you

showing such interest.

Okay, Bobby, Mary,

Uncle Joker's counting on you.

Go make him proud.
