"Clark?"

"Bruce"

"Lois tells me you haven't gone out in a while"

"No I haven't Bruce."

"She says you are thinking about retiring?"

"No. I'm not"

"Clarke; Lois said you have been wearing your pajamas for the last couple of weeks. You are not even wearing a shirt."

"But I am wearing my cape."

"Yes and it stinks of something."

"It's peanut butter."

"What is it Clarke?"

"You want to know."

"Yes"

"Nothing is happening, Bruce. Nobody cares about me anymore. I am really old."

"You are just 60 years old. In Kryptonian terms that must be like two years or something."

"No it's not. In Krptonian terms it is 60."

"But you are still strong. Look at me. I am also pushing 60. And I don't have any super power. If anything I should be the one who should be worried."

"Then why aren't you?"

"I have lived a good life Clarke. After Joker died life is just normal. I am enjoying my life. Today's thugs are not inventive as Joker , you know."

"Yeah, Joker was one of a kind."

"Man. I miss him."

"Yeah. Same here. Lex has just given up. He doesnt care anymore."

"Really?"

"Yes. He was planning something last week. I thought he was going to blow Manhattan or something. Turns out he was planning a birthday party for Lois."

"Good Lord!"

"The guy has gone all soft and stuff. He went to some Indian meditation class. I thought that Guru of the class was some kinda ancient magic villain or something."

"And?"

"I went to bust him and the guy prescribed for a week on anger management."

"Did you attend?"

"Lois made me."

"Haha.. Can I tell you something Clarke?"

"Yes?"

"I'm thinking about retiring too."

"Really? I thought as long as you had those gadgets you will never quit."

"Gadgets.. Shmadgets. Every ten year old in town has a better gadget than me. By the time I invent something in my lab, a better version gets released in town. Gotham has outgrown me man. All these devices Ipod, Iphone, GPS, PPS, RPS, Green Tooth"

"Blue Tooth"

"What?"

"It's called Blue tooth."

"Why is that?"

"Beats me"

"World is changing Clarke. Nobody needs us. Not any more."

"Don't cry Bruce. I thought you came here to help me. Relax it will be fine. Atleast you don't have a nagging b&%$ who irritates you the whole time"

"Hey Lois , is a nice lady!"

"I was talking about Jimmy."

"Oh yes. That dude really gets on my nerves"

"I mean ...the guy is in his fifties, and he still acts like a child. "Thank you Superman. I couldn't thank you more' Oh yeah, then don't get into stupid troubles you idiot!"

"You know, the same with Robin!"

"I thought he left you."

"He did. But the dude calls me every single minute. 'Batman, shall I hit this thug, or should I tie him up' Make your own decisions! You are not a child anymore!"

"The new kids don't need us at all. It's these oldies that still cal us. Why can't they take care of themselves?"

"Yes Man!"

"......."

"......."

" I will check on Robin. It has been a while since I got a call."

"Hello Jimmy, Are you fine? You are? Oh crap!"
