13. Captain America and Iron Man fight. Oh, wait… wrong movie.

14. Batman can’t remember if he’s left the oven on or not and has to go check. 

15. Two words. Dance. Off.

16. Batman accepts Superman’s invitation to a party and then questions what kind of thing the Man of Steel is into after he wakes up in chains. 

17. Superman wins because, obviously…
