Rogue objects because of feminist reasons, although in reality she is simply upset that her inability to make human contact will prevent her from participating. The Joker and The Riddler change their kissing booth to a secret handshake booth, but their use of joybuzzers turns away the crowd. After not a single coed lines up at billionaire Lex Luthor’s booth, he secretly writes a million dollar check to the college and claims that it was all earned in “kiss-money.”
