My Adventures with Superman

Superman is a liar.

He dodged every question I asked him, Clark. I have nothing.

This isn't an article.

It's a,...It's a dead end. Ugh!

Seriously, who is Superman?

Well, maybe he's a nice guy who has powers

and just wants to use them to help as many people as he can.

Clark, if you had powers, you'd do that.

But I'm not talking about you.

No. We need another angle.

Bam! Got it!

"UFO Sighting?" "Miracles in the Heartland?"

What is this?

Oh, you know, nothing.

Lois asked for them.

We're going to track down Superman by reading tabloids!

There's nothing about Superman online or in any reputable papers.

-So maybe Jimmy is-- -What was that?

Couldn't quite hear the last part.

Ugh, you might be right, but since no one normal believes in aliens,

the truth will be in these.

We're so close.

Together we can do this. Together we will--

Come upstairs with me.

Easy. You're not in trouble for being in the newspaper morgue.

Now, shut up. I'm about to be nice.

You keep telling me you want to be reporters, loudly, repeatedly.

So tonight, I'm going to give you your shot.

Dr. Ivo, CEO of Amazo Tech.

As in, Amazo phones, computers, security and anything else you can think of.

And the man who used his criminal connections to displace

a whole neighborhood for his headquarters.

Not to mention the accidents that always seem

to hit his competitors.

But no one has been able to verify those rumors, and we work in facts.

Fact is, he's the most eligible bachelor in the city.

So Cat's writing an interest piece on him.

He's throwing a gala for his investors tonight

and Cat wants you three to get pictures of the event,

and quotes about Ivo from the people attending.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying you want us to to do real journalism?

-Just for tonight. -Our first assignment from the chief!

Don't call me chief, and it's just for tonight.

Anything you want, Chief.

Yes!

Don't make me regret this. And dress up!

It's black tie.

Oh, and Lane...

Impress me.

Hey there.

Oh, uh, hi, Jimmy. Have you... Have you seen Lois?

Not yet. But look at what I've got.

The Planet's entire camera room, huh?

Okay, ha-ha, Clark, But, seriously, I need every one.

This is a fish-eye lens.

And I might have to get a picture of the whole place.

And this one is to block out the sun.

And I know what you're thinking.

When would we need a UV light?

But when wouldn't we need the coolest light?

What do you think?

Wow.

Ready to go to the most exclusive high rise in all of Metropolis?

-And spend the entire night together? -Almost like a... A...

An awesome evening with three best friends.

Wow.

There's the refreshment table.

I'm going to go grab plate of canape, and then let's go!

All right. Cat prepared questions for us,

so I can take half and you'll throw them away.

Okay. Why?

There is the CEO of Galaxy Communications.

There is Mayor Fleming, and there is her opponent.

We are with the most powerful and corrupt people in the city.

There's no way I'm asking about Metropolis' most eligible bachelor.

"Do you have a comment on your recent bribery charges?"

"Where did the campaign money go?"

Lois, please. You're going to get us thrown out.

You heard Perry. He wants us to impress him.

This is our ticket to more real work.

Look, I don't think that's what he mea--

Okay? I grabbed anything that said it contained gold.

Where... Where did you go?

Senator Sackett! Lois Lane, the Daily Planet.

Do you have a comment on the allegations that your re-election campaign

-is taking bribes from special interest groups? -Ugh.

Sir? Senator!

A moment of... Sir!

-There you are. -Oh, a photographer.

Thank goodness. The old fraternity gang is here,

and Omega Pi needs a picture, stat.

-Come, chum. -Wait, what...

Lois Lane, Daily Planet.

If you have a moment, I'd like to ask you...

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Clark Kent. Daily Planet.

Are you aware of corruption?

I think I'm on the wrong card.

Yes, and then we need one of my grandson.

Oh, and my granddaughter.

It's her debut this weekend.

Sir, I'm here for the Daily Planet.

Ooh!

Then we'll be on the front page, undoubtably.

Oh, I'm sorry. Can we get a picture with your fish-eye lens?

Yes, I also have a UV light.

Ooh.

Excuse me, Lois Lane, Daily...

Ma'am, for the Daily Planet. Can you comment on...

Thanks, Smallville.

Lois, maybe we should go back to Cat's questions?

No. We have a golden opportunity here to write a story that matters.

And we will... one day.

But for now, we should stick to the assignment.

You don't understand.

Lois.

I'm going to go back to Ms. Grant's cards

and I'll take the next person who comes in.

Okay?

Ladies and gentlemen, you know him as the founder of Amazo Tech.

The boy genius who, at 21, disrupted the way we interact with technology.

A leader, a humanitarian and your host.

Put your hands together

for... Dr. Ivo!

Oh, oh, oh, what? Oh, hey, that's me!

Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you.

Oh, and what a spread, huh?

Okay, my assistant Alex went all out,

so a round of applause for the little people.

Alex, Alex, Alex. Now, I want you to take a moment.

Look to your left. Look to your right.

Remember these faces.

Because these are the people that you'll witness history with,

as we reveal the latest from Amazo Tech.

Until then, enjoy the canapes, snack some of those lamb chops,

and get your phones ready to record.

Ah. Boom!

Nailed it.

Well, sure, that, obviously, put that on the Tube,

but also what I'm about to unveil.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Oh, yeah. This one's all yours.

Welcome in advance. Curtis, my man.

You know what? Glad you're here.

The board is meeting for the vote tonight, Anthony.

They won't be held off any longer.

Let's talk over here.

Yeah, that is not what we agreed on.

-The tech I'm about to debut-- -Won't change anything.

The latest profit numbers are nonexistent, Tony.

Yeah, you can't vote me out of my own company, okay?

-I am Amazo Tech. -And you're broke.

So listen to me.

No, no, no, no, no. You listen to me.

There will be a grand unveiling of our newest product.

It will redefine humanity and all the money problems will go away.

So, why don't you go ahead and keep the board happy until the end of the night?

Dr. Ivo, Clark Kent with the Daily Planet.

Excuse me. What? Wow.

I didn't realize reporters came in this size.

What are you, a linebacker?

Think fast. Ow!

Wow!

Ouch.

Oh.

I know who you are.

-Uh... -You're from Cat, right?

Aw, love that little lady.

But between you and me, I'd much rather talk mano a mano.

How about this. I'll give you the juicy deets for that bachelor article,

and if you forget anything you might have overheard between me and Curtis,
