((Oh, dammit. It was supposed to knock him down... Oh, well))
Immediately, he was hit with an uppercut, quickly followed by another punch to the jaw from another angle. What was taking Superman so long?

The punches connected solidly, sending Prometheus staggering many feet backwards.

As he staggered back, an invisible hand grabbed his arm, twisted, and--using his backward momentum-- attempted to pull the arm back into a joint lock. Actually... why had he turned on the cloaking device? He'd been doing fine without it. There had been no reason to think... Except that he reminds you of your BOSS, a tiny, nasty voice told him. Oh, shut up. That's got nothing to do with it.

Prometheus, instead of struggling against the pull, flipped in the direction Batman was pulling his arm. Then, once he landed on his feet, he threw a punch where he estimated Batman would be, in relation to where he was being held.

Terry let go as soon as he felt the lack of resistance, and managed to turn to the side quickly enough to turn the punch into a fairly glancing blow. Then he grabbed the extended arm and, rolling his opponent over his hip, he pulled. If it worked correctly, Prometheus would get flipped rather painfully to the ground, especially since Terry was purposefully making it next to impossible to fall correctly. If it didn't... well, there were several things he could do from that position, anyway. Still, this was really kind of... eerie. He recognized so many of the movements, it was almost exactly like fighting-- NO, it's not. He was better than this guy, for one. But it was eerie. Like this person was... more Batman than Terry himself was. And however much he hated to admit it... that was sort of a jarring thought.

For a little while, Superman just stared at the figures in combat, it was eerie to watch. They're both so like Bruce..the way they move... but his voice...and he's a little shorter... oh, right, Joker. Superman looked disdainfully down at the Joker and said. "I have a better idea, how about I lock you back up in Arkham instead of teleporting you into the Phantom Zone or tossing you onto the surface of the sun." having put one pushy villain in his place, Superman moved on to the next one. Still clutching Joker by his now-lead-encased-wrist, Superman walked over and tapped on Prometheus's shoulder. "One chance." The hero said. "One chance to surrender and come peacefully, Prometheus."

"Does anyone ever take you up on that?" a disembodied voice asked flatly. The right answer, of course, was 'not really', and they both knew it. Ug. Superman. Any second now, it was going to be 20 questions time. Terry almost wanted to keep fighting the weird Wayne knock off. Almost.

"Does anyone EVER take you up on that, Superman?" Prometheus asked, after taking that rather painful landing. Rolling onto his back, he pulled out two grappling hooks, much like the one he had used to impale the officer he had kill earlier. One aimed at where Batman SHOULD be, and the other aimed at Superman. Using all of MAYBE half a second to aim, he fired both of them. He had moved so quickly that not even Superman should have noticed the green glow in the middle of it. It was designed to weaken Superman just enough for the claws to pierce skin and clamp shut in his body.
Just after Prometheus asked that question, the Joker asked, "You know what so funny about this pipe? It's like a racoon trap: I let go, and my hand becomes small enough to get out!" And that was exactly what he did. He abandoned the Kryptonite inside the lead pipe in favor of escaping. Landing on the ground with two free arms, the Joker ran back to Deathstroke, and started to lft him in an attempt to get the both of them the Hell away.

Batman didn't have time to process what the man was doing, considering that he'd been looking at Superman anyway, so dodging completely was impossible... completely being the operative word. He did manage a partial dodge, so instead of hitting him in the middle of the chest and punching through, the hook hit him just below the middle of his right collar bone and punched through.
Thanks to a year and a half of broken bones, gunshot wounds, internal injuries, concussions, and lacerations, Terry didn't yell; he just drew in his breath so sharply that it almost sounded like a hiss. He stumbled backward a step... but didn't fall down, either. Actually, if he'd been thinking about it, he would have been pretty impressed with himself.
The suit's already damaged chameleon feature shorted twice, and then it cut out.
...Ow.
Even as his mind hovered on the edge of shock, his uninjured arm was coming up with a cutting tool and melting through the thick wire attached to his grappling hook. Now Prometheus wouldn't be able to pull him anywhere, for whatever that was worth.

(( I'm pretty sure that Terry's next move will be determined by Superman's reaction to Prometheus' attack; if it works, he'll probably be too busy helping him to stop him from escaping ))

((Something tells me that it isn't going to work. Prometheus gave him a whole half second. XP I was actually hoping to get SOME reaction from the Joker, considering that Prometheus just poked a rather large hole (in a non-vital spot, but still) in a Batman.))

(( Meh, He's trying to keep business as the priority. Besides, as far as Joker's concerned, if one dies, he still has another one to play with. Also, if Superman missed the green K in the claw, he'd probably try to 'Man of Steel' it out ))
The clown pulled up Deathstroke, slung him over one shoulder, and began moving as fast as he could, trying to put as much distance in between himself and the heroes.

((Wait for it. If Superman catches on--and he DOES know what Prometheus is like, so there's a fairly good chance-- both Bats AND Supes will be after him in a matter of seconds.))
