Holy literary devices, Batman!

Wherein I excerpt quality entertainment that Broadway is too chickenshit to produce

Bookslut links to the Bat Play. After a rough encounter with the Joker, Batman isn't feeling the love. Short quote:

Superman: Hey, I’m just kidding. I know you’ve hit rough times, so I thought I’d come over and cheer you up.

Batman: No thanks.

Superman: Fine. (Goes to leave.) You know, you’re a real jerk now. No wonder the X-Men had to come here, you’re too lazy to clean up the mess here yourself. (Leaves.)

Batman: (To himself:) Damn it. No way those freaks are gonna do my job.
