'Tony should be able to handle himself, so I'll just check on Clark and the Joker...' Opening a portal to the location where he had seen the Joker and Bizarro fighting Cyborg earlier, Peter stepped through and found a scene that he had pretty much expected to walk in on.

In the futuristic city of Metropolis, Cyborg lay unconscious in a pile of rubble, his robotic body in pieces, though he was still alive.

Across from him, Peter could see both Superman and Bizarro locked in a fierce battle high above the city. They were joined by Lex Luthor, who wore a high-tech suit that enhanced his powers enough to fight alongside Bizarro against Superman.

'He wasn't here earlier...' Peter presumed that he had been waiting for Superman to take the bait and come after the Joker, who had recently attempted to kill Lois and his unborn child. And Lex's plan seemed to work perfectly, as Superman had come running as soon as he spotted the Joker.

Speaking of the Joker, the green-haired clown stood atop a building, laughing maniacally while watching Lex and Bizarro double-team Superman. Their every punch and collision sent shockwaves throughout the city below.

"What's the matter, Supes?" the Joker taunted, his grin as wide as ever. "Isn't this just the perfect moment for a picture? Maybe we should call that friend of yours... what was his name again? Timmy? Tommy?" He taunted with a manic smile. "Eh, it doesn't matter what his name was. He's dead either way~"

"Shut up!" Superman seethed with rage, his eyes burning with fury as he struggled to focus on the opponents in front of him. The Joker's taunts had hit a nerve, especially when he mentioned Jimmy Olsen, Superman's best friend, whom the Joker had cruelly murdered just days earlier.

'Man.... The Joker is as ruthless as ever.' Before making his presence known, Peter decided to assist Cyborg. He waved his hand and opened a portal beneath the fallen hero, safely depositing him inside the Watchtower's medical bay just like Green Lantern.

With that done, Peter was just about to capture the Joker before helping Superman, but before he could move, a green light filled the night sky, and he could hear the sound of Superman grunting in pain.

Looking up, Peter saw a compartment on Lex's suit open, revealing a fist-sized piece of Kryptonite. It immediately began to sap Superman's powers and inflict excruciating pain upon him. "Ugh...!"

But the Joker was slippery, ducking and weaving, delivering a jab to Superman's jaw, causing him to stagger. It was clear that this fight would not be easy. 'If only this rock wasn't strapped to my chest... I would have pulverized him by now...'

With his honed speed and reflexes, the Joker evaded every punch Superman threw, taunting him as he danced around. "Come on, Supes! You can do better than that! Even Batman can beat me black and blue and his superpower is being rich and broody. What's your excuse?"

Superman fought through the pain, determined to Avenge his friend s death. He swung with his good arm, and this time, his fist connected, sending the Joker sprawling. The clown's laughter faltered for just a moment as he crashed into a nearby wall.

But the Joker was far from done. He sprang back to his feet, delivering a savage knee to Superman's abdomen. The Kryptonian hero winced in agony, his breath escaping in a painful gasp.

Superman's eyes blazed with determination as he grabbed the Joker by the collar, lifting him off the ground. But the Joker wasn't one to go down easily. He drove his elbow into Superman's chin, forcing him to release his grip.

With a wild grin, the Joker produced a hidden knife, which fell into his hand from his sleeve, slashing at Superman. The blade cut through his costume, drawing a thin line of blood, but the pain only fueled Superman's resolve. He tackled the Joker to the ground, wrestling for control of the weapon.

Their struggle continued, a brutal back-and-forth. The Joker's laughter mixed with Superman's grunts of effort as they fought for dominance. The knife danced between them, a deadly instrument of their clash.

In the midst of the chaos, the Joker's taunts continued. "You know, it was so easy to get under your skin. Lois, your child, Metropolis, your poor friend, Jimmy. I mean, the punchline didn't end as I'd hoped, but it was still funny, right?"

Superman's vision blurred, not just from the Kryptonite but from the seething anger within him. He wanted nothing more than to end this madness, to put an end to the Joker's chaos once and for all.

With one final surge of strength, Superman managed to wrest the knife from the Joker's grasp. In a swift motion, he tried to stab the joker in the head, but the knife ended up stabbed into the ground beside the Joker's head instead.

Giving up on the knife, Superman's hands closed around the Joker's throat, his fingers tightening. The laughter that had echoed through the night continued alongside a desperate gasp for air. "...Do ...it ...kill ...me ...haha" The Joker's egged him on as his eyes widened at the fact that he really might die.

This was a death match, and Superman was willing to deliver the ultimate justice. With a primal roar, Superman tightened his grip and snapped the Joker's neck, watching as the light left the clowns eyes. Though the smile on Jokers face never disappeared.

The city fell into a somber silence as Superman, still weakened by the Kryptonite, rose to his feet. His eyes were a mix of sorrow, relief, and the weight of his actions. He had avenged Jimmy, protected Lois and his unborn child, and put an end to the Joker's madness for good. 'I did it...'

But before he could think on it for much longer, a loud bang filled the air as both Bizarro and Lex Luthor came crashing down from the sky above, colliding with the adjacent building.
