On the kinds of people he lets into his life…

Bruce [to Clark]: You’re not even close to my type. I mean, you’re a complete boy scout and you make me crazy most of the time. You’re also the best person I think I’ve ever met and you’re the best friend that I’ve ever had.

Now, Bruce, was that so hard?

Why you should try not to take anything Batman says too personally…

Batman: I can’t afford any more delays, Clark, and you’re one of those superpowered beings who cause delays. Sometimes it’s a good thing. There’s a whole group of heroes. They’re “delay heroes”.

Superman: *quivering lip* You mean… You mean you don’t like me?

Batman: No, of course I like you. It’s because I like you that I don’t want to be with you. It’s a complicated emotion, Clark!

World’s Finest Dads…

Batman [about grounding Robin after a mission gone awry]: I promised I’d never let anything happen to him.

Superman: Hmm. That’s a funny thing to promise.

Batman: What?

Superman: Well, you can’t never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Robin.

Clark: Are you ever afraid?

Bruce: No.

Clark: Not even of dying?

Bruce: No.

Clark: You don’t feel any emotion about it one way or another?

Bruce: No. I have to stay functional until my mission is complete. Then it doesn’t matter.

Clark: Yeah. I have to stay functional, too. I’m “too important”.

Because the dialogue between a cyborg assassin and his human protectee fits Bruce and Clark just fine.
