Dear Clark,
I've been thinking. (Yeah, what else is new? -R)
Whom do you have to deal with out there? Lex Luthor, for the most part. A non-powered human who uses his vast intellectual, technological, and finantial resources to put himself on a level with you. Let's face it, he's the evil version of me.
Meanwhile, over here, I've got the Joker. A madman with grandiose schemes that I have to find clever ways to thwart. (He was going to use the word "stop." Can you believe him? -R)
Of course, there are others. You've got the Prankster, I've got the Riddler. You've got... (I think you get the idea. -R)
Now, if I was in Metropolis, I'd be keeping a very careful eye on LexCorp. Instead of waiting for them to roll out their next killer robot and having to battle it in the streets, I'd have spies in their ranks, computer experts keeping track of their finances and projects, informants I could pump for information, etc. I'd take it offline before it could ever be built.
You, you could do a sweep of Gotham and find all sorts of interesting things it'd take me weeks to uncover. If Joker poisoned the lake, you could take care of the whole thing in seconds. If Killer Croc got loose, you'd have him behind bars before the Batmobile could even get to the scene.
Much as I hate to admit it, Gotham could probably do with some color and cheer, too. No one here is used to looking up. Metropolis, well... a healthy dose of cynicism couldn't hurt. People don't tend to wonder what's lurking in the shadows.
What do you think? You want to trade for a while?
Yours,
Bruce (&Co.)
(P.S. I love this. You two are the world's finest pen pals.)

I only laughed a little.

A little is better than nothing. And probably more than it deserved.
(Thanks. I guess.)
