Justice Grooming League of America

EDIT2

JIMMY OLSEN IS TALKING TO CLARK KENT.

SCENE1

JIMMY
Wow Mr Kent wasn't it amazing how Superman beat General Zod, and sent him back to the Phantom Zone. Gee wilkers I wish I was his pal like you.
CLARK
That's alright Jimmy, maybe one day you will.
JIMMY
Mr Kent (beat) have you ever noticed how Superman never seems to have any girlfriends. Do you think they might make him feel awkward, and like he'd rather be hanging out with his guy pals?
CLARK
You're right Jimmy, tell me Jimmy have you ever heard of platonic love?
JIMMY
Gee Mr Kent I haven't
CLARK
It's when an older guy and a younger guy share a deep understanding, a friendship that's more than a friendship.
JIMMY
Like me and you Mr Kent?
CLARK
No Jimmy, I'm in a loving relationship with Lois.
JIMMY
But Superman isn't.
CLARK
No Jimmy he isn't.

SCENE2

BATMAN AND SUPERMAN ARE DRINKING COCKTAILS IN THE JUSTICE TOWER.
BATMAN
Did he go for it?

SUPERMAN HAS A BIG SHIT EATING GRIN.

BATMAN PUNCHES HIM IN THE SHOULDER.

AQUA LAD AND ROBIN STAND BY THE WINDOW, THEY LOOK DISTURBED.

This is so massively wrong. Funny, but wrong. As wrong as Aqualad and Robin's outfits.

Oh, and you've transposed Clark and Jimmy's names near the end.

Will change, wrong innit though.

Between the two of us we are seriously besmirching the Man of Steel. I'm glad he's not real.

I liked, definitely a shocking wrong-ness about it.

I liked yours, you actually inspired me to this a bit.

The thing is Superman is basically a dick, a do gooding bossy asshole.

If he worked in an office, he'd be the sort he'd listen out for racist jokes at the Xmas party, so he could make complaints to HR the next day.

I really like this, but I wonder if I'd get it if I hadn't read the title first?

Maybe in future days version I'll make it more blatant.

Ta.

It might just be me presuming stupidity on my own behalf. On the other hand, 'Justice Grooming League of America' is such a funny title, it's a shame not to get it in somewhere. Either as a title at the beginning, or maybe better, as a logo on the table in the JGLA headquarters.

I write a lot of superhero comedy myself, by the way - I do like this. Good going.

The Man of Steel.
I'm glad he's not real.

There's a rap there!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's a dick, a do-gooding bossy asshole.
