1
00:01:12,212 --> 00:01:14,882
<i>Wake up, Metropolis.</i>

2
00:01:15,181 --> 00:01:17,911
<i>Oh, yeah, the Livewire's
back on attack, folks.</i>

3
00:01:18,118 --> 00:01:21,348
<i>The queen-babe of all media,
your mistress of the airwaves.</i>

4
00:01:21,521 --> 00:01:23,551
<i>The one, the only, Leslie Willis.</i>

5
00:01:23,723 --> 00:01:28,893
<i>Shouting out to you
on WLXL, 95.5 Alive.</i>

6
00:01:29,062 --> 00:01:31,192
<i>Okay, now, people, listen up.</i>

7
00:01:31,364 --> 00:01:35,634
<i>I know you've heard this before,
but you're gonna hear it again.</i>

8
00:01:36,369 --> 00:01:40,699
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,
I am sick and tired of this Superman guy.</i>

9
00:01:41,007 --> 00:01:44,737
<i>You hear me, Metropolis?
Sick, sick, sick...</i>

10
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,110
<i>Of Superman.</i>

11
00:01:48,715 --> 00:01:51,875
<i>I wake up this morning,
and I'm in a fairly good mood.</i>

12
00:01:52,052 --> 00:01:54,852
<i>But then I turn on the TV,
and there he is...</i>

13
00:01:55,121 --> 00:01:57,561
<i>...on every lousy channel.</i>

14
00:01:58,625 --> 00:02:00,385
<i>I almost puked on my corn flakes.</i>

15
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,020
<i>And then, big surprise, there he is again
on the front page of the</i> Daily Planet.

16
00:02:05,265 --> 00:02:08,055
<i>Hello. Hello.</i>

17
00:02:08,234 --> 00:02:11,834
<i>Am I the only one who's ill
from this town's pathetic devotion...</i>

18
00:02:12,005 --> 00:02:13,935
<i>...to that phony flying boy scout?</i>

19
00:02:14,107 --> 00:02:16,127
Amen to that, sister. I hear you.

20
00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:18,509
<i>No one's that nice for free, people.</i>

21
00:02:18,678 --> 00:02:22,668
<i>The Man of Steel is pulling
the steel wool over your eyes.</i>

22
00:02:22,849 --> 00:02:24,579
<i>Don't buy into that act of his.</i>

23
00:02:24,751 --> 00:02:26,151
Just say no to Superman.

24
00:02:31,391 --> 00:02:33,291
Looks like the natives are restless.

25
00:02:33,693 --> 00:02:35,923
Line three, speak your tiny little mind.

26
00:02:36,096 --> 00:02:37,996
<i>You're darn right I will, missy.</i>

27
00:02:38,164 --> 00:02:42,104
<i>Because I don't appreciate your
scurvy remarks about me pal Superman.</i>

28
00:02:42,435 --> 00:02:46,865
Get a load of this old fogy. What's the
matter, gramps, not getting enough prunes?

29
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,700
Now, you listen to me, smart lady.
I don't think...

30
00:02:49,876 --> 00:02:51,806
No, you don't think, do you, dope.

31
00:02:51,978 --> 00:02:56,348
<i>This Superman is nothing more
than the world's strongest con man.</i>

32
00:02:57,650 --> 00:03:01,380
How can you just sit there while she
spews that trash about Superman?

33
00:03:01,554 --> 00:03:05,154
That's what shock-jocks do, Lois.
Create controversy, stir things up.

34
00:03:05,325 --> 00:03:08,685
If she wants controversy,
wait till I interview her.

35
00:03:09,229 --> 00:03:11,059
Hi, Mr. Kent, Ms. Lane.

36
00:03:11,231 --> 00:03:13,501
I'm Sid Melkin, Leslie's producer.

37
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:16,003
- She's set for your interview now.
- Now?

38
00:03:16,169 --> 00:03:18,569
We were supposed to interview
after the show.

39
00:03:18,738 --> 00:03:20,228
Change of plans. Follow me.

40
00:03:20,407 --> 00:03:22,167
Straight into the lion's den.

41
00:03:25,345 --> 00:03:27,245
So let me ask you something, Lois.

42
00:03:27,414 --> 00:03:29,514
I can call you Lois, can't I?

43
00:03:29,682 --> 00:03:32,852
- Sure, but...
- What's the deal with you and Superman?

44
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:34,749
What are you talking about?

45
00:03:34,921 --> 00:03:39,191
Come on, you're always getting exclusives
with him. How exclusive are you two?

46
00:03:41,194 --> 00:03:42,424
<i>It's not like that.</i>

47
00:03:42,762 --> 00:03:47,892
<i>It's not, huh? I guess we'll never know if
his p.j.'s have that big red S on them too.</i>

48
00:03:52,238 --> 00:03:53,868
Hey. Hey.

49
00:03:57,477 --> 00:03:59,337
Here it comes. Get out of the way!

50
00:04:03,783 --> 00:04:07,223
- Come on, Lois. Just between us girls.
- There's nothing to tell.

51
00:04:11,724 --> 00:04:14,564
Something wrong, Mr. Kent?
Am I boring you?

52
00:04:14,727 --> 00:04:16,887
As a matter of fact, you are.

53
00:04:18,465 --> 00:04:20,625
Don't go away mad, Clarkie.

54
00:04:23,903 --> 00:04:27,813
Well, I guess some people can't
handle their false idols getting knocked...

55
00:04:27,974 --> 00:04:31,574
Listen, Willis, just what is your problem
with Superman?

56
00:04:31,744 --> 00:04:35,414
Problems, plural. First, he's never
around when you need him.

57
00:05:10,583 --> 00:05:14,083
Second, everything's
just so darn easy for him.

58
00:05:32,438 --> 00:05:33,668
Look.

59
00:05:38,178 --> 00:05:40,008
My baby! My baby!

60
00:05:51,357 --> 00:05:54,187
And third, all he cares about is himself.

61
00:06:41,741 --> 00:06:43,371
I think that sums it up.

62
00:06:43,543 --> 00:06:47,143
We're almost out of time,
but remember, tonight in Centennial Park...

63
00:06:47,313 --> 00:06:49,543
...is my third anniversary celebration.

64
00:06:49,716 --> 00:06:52,736
We're having a big blowout
with guests and surprises...

65
00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:54,579
...so be there, or else.

66
00:06:54,754 --> 00:06:57,784
Do you really believe
that garbage you say about Superman?

67
00:06:57,957 --> 00:06:59,857
Or is it just a way to get ratings?

68
00:07:00,026 --> 00:07:03,386
Look. To make it in this town
I had to be better, sharper...

69
00:07:03,563 --> 00:07:05,933
...and louder than any man
to get half as much notice.

70
00:07:06,099 --> 00:07:10,699
And nothing was handed to me on a silver
platter. Unlike your friend, Superman.

71
00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:13,970
- That's some attitude you have there.
- Pays the bills.

72
00:07:18,878 --> 00:07:22,278
Looks like mother nature
isn't one of your faithful fans.

73
00:07:24,617 --> 00:07:27,487
She'll come around. Everybody else does.

74
00:07:41,067 --> 00:07:44,527
I can't believe they're not
calling off this fiasco.

75
00:07:44,704 --> 00:07:47,404
I've seen street riots
more orderly than this.

76
00:07:47,573 --> 00:07:50,043
Well, maybe reason will prevail after all.

77
00:07:58,618 --> 00:08:02,988
Shut it down? With all of
Metropolis watching, are you crazy?

78
00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:08,420
But, Les, the police are saying
it's too dangerous. The storm.

79
00:08:08,594 --> 00:08:11,154
Sid, I worked my entire life
for this moment...

80
00:08:11,331 --> 00:08:14,101
...and a little rain's
not gonna stop me, you hear?

81
00:08:18,504 --> 00:08:22,774
Hey, Metropolis. How's it going?

82
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,510
Hey, who are those guys?

83
00:08:29,716 --> 00:08:32,646
Seems we got a little problem, people.

84
00:08:32,819 --> 00:08:36,689
The authorities want
to shut the party down.

85
00:08:37,156 --> 00:08:38,416
- No.
- No way.

86
00:08:38,825 --> 00:08:40,725
We're not gonna let that happen.

87
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,790
- And the crowd turns ugly.
- The crowd showed up ugly.

88
00:08:52,271 --> 00:08:54,601
Are you gonna let them shut us down?

89
00:08:54,841 --> 00:08:58,441
Are you gonna let them
tell us what to do?

90
00:08:58,711 --> 00:09:00,651
No.

91
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:06,850
No. No. We won't go.

92
00:09:11,057 --> 00:09:13,987
Hey, look. The cops
brought their monkey.

93
00:09:14,227 --> 00:09:18,157
You have to stop this. Can't you see
you're putting these people in danger?

94
00:09:18,331 --> 00:09:21,321
Everybody, big blue says
you should go home and sleep.

95
00:09:21,501 --> 00:09:23,901
What do you say to that, huh?

96
00:09:30,610 --> 00:09:33,710
See, Superman.
I'm the ringmaster of this circus.

97
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,510
I tell these clowns what to do.

98
00:09:35,681 --> 00:09:39,081
Not the papers and not some
pumped-up freak of nature in a cape.

99
00:10:24,397 --> 00:10:25,657
What happened?

100
00:10:28,701 --> 00:10:30,001
Where's he taking her?

101
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:39,840
It was touch-and-go for a while,
but the prognosis seems to be good.

102
00:10:40,111 --> 00:10:43,171
- She'll be out of here in a few days.
- What a relief.

103
00:10:44,649 --> 00:10:47,049
I can't explain her skin discoloration.

104
00:10:47,218 --> 00:10:49,878
Then again, I can't explain
why she's alive either.

105
00:10:55,026 --> 00:10:56,886
- There he is.
- Superman, over here.

106
00:10:57,061 --> 00:10:59,191
- How is she?
- She's going to be okay.

107
00:10:59,363 --> 00:11:01,733
How come you didn't
push her out of the way?

108
00:11:01,899 --> 00:11:04,159
- There wasn't time.
- You sure of that?

109
00:11:05,336 --> 00:11:08,666
- What are you getting at?
- She said some awful things about you.

110
00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:10,709
Maybe this was payback.

111
00:11:11,442 --> 00:11:15,002
<i>I did everything I could
to save her. Everything.</i>

112
00:11:15,379 --> 00:11:16,939
<i>Now, if you'll excuse me.</i>

113
00:11:17,114 --> 00:11:20,354
Excuse you? Look what you did to me.

114
00:11:21,085 --> 00:11:24,575
If you think I made things
hot for you before, just wait till I...

115
00:11:31,996 --> 00:11:33,896
How the...?

116
00:12:01,192 --> 00:12:02,422
Cool.

117
00:12:05,930 --> 00:12:07,990
Don't come near me.

118
00:12:10,768 --> 00:12:12,498
Oh, yeah.

119
00:12:12,703 --> 00:12:14,263
This I like.

120
00:12:18,442 --> 00:12:20,672
Sorry, kids,
I can't play with you anymore.

121
00:12:20,845 --> 00:12:23,245
I've got bigger fish to fry.

122
00:12:50,374 --> 00:12:52,044
What's that?

123
00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:55,610
Metropolis. My Metropolis.

124
00:12:56,013 --> 00:12:59,013
If I can make it here,
I can make it anywhere.

125
00:13:21,839 --> 00:13:25,369
- That's enough, Ms. Willis.
- It's not Ms. Willis anymore.

126
00:13:25,876 --> 00:13:27,336
Meet her replacement.

127
00:13:37,321 --> 00:13:38,851
Livewire.

128
00:13:39,156 --> 00:13:41,556
Neat, huh? I ionized the air around me.

129
00:13:41,726 --> 00:13:43,886
Pretty formfitting, don't you think?

130
00:13:44,428 --> 00:13:47,458
Come back to the hospital.
They might be able to help you.

131
00:13:47,631 --> 00:13:51,301
What do I need help for.
I'm pure energy now.

132
00:13:51,535 --> 00:13:54,725
And besides, I got enough help
from you the other night.

133
00:14:05,249 --> 00:14:07,739
So much for Mr. Goody Two-Boots.

134
00:14:18,195 --> 00:14:19,785
<i>Lights out, super-jerk.</i>

135
00:14:19,964 --> 00:14:23,374
<i>Hope you're not afraid of the dark.</i>

136
00:14:26,403 --> 00:14:29,463
- What's going on?
- Hey, wait.

137
00:14:33,611 --> 00:14:35,711
I can't see anything at all.

138
00:14:39,482 --> 00:14:42,352
Boy, this sure brings back the old days.

139
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:46,249
When I was your age, we didn't have
computers or fax machines or...

140
00:14:46,423 --> 00:14:50,453
Yeah, yeah. And you walked 10 miles
in your bare feet to work every day.

141
00:14:53,563 --> 00:14:56,123
<i>Hello, Metropolis.</i>

142
00:14:56,499 --> 00:14:59,829
<i>The tower of power is back,
coming at you at about...</i>

143
00:15:00,170 --> 00:15:01,930
<i>Oh, a gazillion megahertz.</i>

144
00:15:03,306 --> 00:15:06,536
<i>Now, you may have noticed
I restored some power to the city.</i>

145
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:10,200
<i>I've done this so that you,
my adoring and helpless public...</i>

146
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,350
<i>...can gaze upon</i> moi,
<i>your lovely queen of all media.</i>

147
00:15:14,517 --> 00:15:18,777
<i>Actually, I pretty much am the media now,
seeing as I've taken complete control.</i>

148
00:15:18,955 --> 00:15:22,015
<i>So don't touch that dial, Metropolis.</i>

149
00:15:23,627 --> 00:15:27,827
<i>Because if you ever
want your phone back, your lights...</i>

150
00:15:27,998 --> 00:15:30,758
<i>...your talk shows,
your home shopping channels...</i>

151
00:15:30,934 --> 00:15:32,734
<i>...and your stupid little lives...</i>

152
00:15:32,903 --> 00:15:35,073
<i>...then you're gonna have to deal
with me.</i>

153
00:15:35,238 --> 00:15:37,608
Typical. Today the airwaves...

154
00:15:37,774 --> 00:15:39,144
Tomorrow the world.

155
00:15:42,979 --> 00:15:44,469
<i>I'm telling you, people...</i>

156
00:15:44,648 --> 00:15:47,978
<i>...bad things are gonna happen
if you don't get with the program.</i>

157
00:15:48,151 --> 00:15:52,021
It just doesn't make any sense.
We've lost all radio navigation and radar.

158
00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:54,178
All we get is that woman.

159
00:15:54,991 --> 00:15:56,891
Look out!

160
00:16:11,641 --> 00:16:14,671
<i>So start making those checks
payable to me, people.</i>

161
00:16:14,844 --> 00:16:18,414
<i>Because from here on, I'm the
electric company, the phone company...</i>

162
00:16:18,581 --> 00:16:20,111
<i>...the cable company.</i>

163
00:16:22,185 --> 00:16:24,915
<i>Don't worry, folks,
I'll be back in a flash.</i>

164
00:16:46,276 --> 00:16:47,936
Hey, what's going on?

165
00:16:49,479 --> 00:16:52,509
What's the matter, guys,
never seen a girl before?

166
00:17:03,827 --> 00:17:06,987
Okay, time for a late power lunch.

167
00:17:08,398 --> 00:17:09,918
Lunch is canceled.

168
00:17:11,134 --> 00:17:13,574
It's you again. Tall, dark and stupid.

169
00:17:13,737 --> 00:17:15,967
I figured you'd need to recharge yourself.

170
00:17:16,139 --> 00:17:19,199
What better place than
a hydroelectric plant.

171
00:17:28,618 --> 00:17:32,488
Now, if you hold still, I'll drain off
some of that power of yours...

172
00:17:32,655 --> 00:17:35,275
...until you're a bit more manageable.

173
00:17:43,767 --> 00:17:47,857
<i>Sorry, blue boy. But you can't stop me
any more than you can stop the rain...</i>

174
00:17:48,038 --> 00:17:50,368
...the wind or lightning.

175
00:18:18,234 --> 00:18:19,904
Come on, baby. Come to mama.

176
00:18:27,243 --> 00:18:31,313
As soon as I'm juiced,
I'll finish you off, lickety-split.

177
00:18:42,959 --> 00:18:45,359
Well, at least now we know you hit girls.

178
00:18:45,528 --> 00:18:49,188
- We don't have to do this, Leslie.
- I'm Livewire.

179
00:20:09,646 --> 00:20:11,876
<i>I thought Willis was a menace
from day one.</i>

180
00:20:12,048 --> 00:20:14,538
<i>Good riddance to bad rubbish,
that's what I say.</i>

181
00:20:16,452 --> 00:20:19,052
<i>I wonder if Superman
had anything to do with this.</i>

182
00:20:19,222 --> 00:20:23,252
<i>- It's not like we can ask Leslie Willis.
- I think it's sweet of Mr. Luthor...</i>

183
00:20:23,426 --> 00:20:26,396
<i>...to pay for her care,
even if she was a maniac.</i>

184
00:20:29,566 --> 00:20:32,626
<i>Honestly, I'll kind of miss her
not being on the air again.</i>

185
00:20:32,802 --> 00:20:35,802
<i>She really knew how
to shake things up, you know?</i>

186
00:21:10,238 --> 00:21:12,228
