Careful. You're
dripping juice on Spider-Man.
The thing
about Spider-Man
is that he'd be useless
in a place like Corrigan.
How do you mean?
There's nothing for him
He needs an urban environment.
That's why Superman is
the greatest superhero.
He's all-terrain.
Superman?
He's the worst superhero.
Excuse me?
Superman is boring.
He's invulnerable.
That's why they invented kryptonite,
so he has some kind of weakness.
Batman, he's the best superhero,
because, well,
he's just a guy like me or you.
He doesn't have any superpowers.
He's not superhuman.
He has a cape and a mask
and arch-enemies.
He's a superhero, no question.
You're not listening, Chuck.
Batman does not
possess superpowers.
Therefore he's not super.
You've lost your mind.
Batman is a master of martial arts.
He's a detective,
he's an inventor.
And given that 'super' only
means 'greater than normal',
by that definition, Batman can
only be described as a superhero.
You still here, Jeffrey?
Go home, or your parents
I was about to leave in disgust.
You have a very irritating son,
Mrs Bucktin.
Why, thank you, Jeffrey.
He's been spitting pips
all over your tablecloth.
Oh, you little bugger!
Oh, Charlie!
"Courage is resistance to fear,"
"mastery of fear,
not absence of fear."
Bed.
Merry Christmas.
Goodnight.
Charlie.
Charlie.
It's Jasper.
- Who?
- Jasper Jones.
What are you doing here?
I need your help.
Me? Why me?
Come with me. I'll show you.
Where?
Hurry up, Charlie.
We've got to go.
I'm right. Didn't hurt.
- Come on. Follow me.
Why would
Jasper Jones ask for my help?
He's never even
spoken to me before.
Jasper!
Where are we going?
People in town say
he's dangerous.
But I've always wondered
what he's really like.
I don't know where
he's taking me.
Or why I followed him.
And I don't know how I'm gonna
find my way back home.
I can trust you.
- Right, Charlie?
- Trust me with what?
Shh! Shh! Shh!
I didn't do it!
I swear I didn't do it.
I found her.
I found her here tonight.
Charlie, I need your help.
Help me.
Who is it?
It's Laura.
Wishart?
Eliza's sister?
Yeah.
I shouldn't be here.
We have to tell the police.
No. No, we can't.
Why not?
Because they'll see that
she's been knocked around.
That this is my place.
That that's my rope!
They're gonna say it's me.
Jasper, they're the police.
They won't.
Won't they?
Who'd you blame first?
Who did you blame first?!
I can't tell them the truth.
This is Corrigan.
Nobody will believe me.
But I thought you might.
'Cause you're an
outsider like me.
And you're smart.
Please, Charlie.
Help me.
I think I know who did it.
Who?
Mad Jack Lionel.
What, you think?
Been walking past his
place for years.
Sometimes I hear him calling out
my name. Waving like a lunatic.
He's seen me with Laura too.
What are you doing?
We have to hide her.
Jasper, we're not detectives.
We can't just solve this on our own.
We don't have a choice.
You think I want this?
Nobody can know.
Nobody.
Not until we find
out who did this.
Help me.
She's still warm.
Please, Charlie.
Grab the rock.
Charlie?
Charlie!
Charlie!
- I'm up! I'm awake!
- Get up, or the bin gets your breakfast!
As the Apollo
12 astronauts
head back to earth
from the moon...
You alright, Charlie?
You feeling a bit crook?
Charlie?
I'm fine.
What happened to your face?
I cut myself.
Sleeping?
- Don't be ridiculous.
Is that what happened?
Leave him.
He's embarrassed.
I'll teach you how to do that
