Lois “Well, Irene after the incident in question, Luthor pushed for his own company as well as others in Metropolis and other major cities to tighten security. Since then, there have been no reports of anyone accessing a rooftop without permission.”

Vicki “The current theory is that there is more than just one of them. My own name for them is the Caped Crusaders. They’ve been described as having capes, similar to Superwoman. And whereas Superwoman’s greatest concern appears to be saving kittens from trees, we have these Caped Crusaders stopping actual cri-”
Lois “Oh, here we go with the Woe Is Us stuff we always get. Look, I’m sure Gotham is a nice city and maybe it could use a Superwoman to help it out. But please, spare us the sob story about-”
