superhero

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'off one's trolley' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'batman say might drink here' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'sup' (to sup is to drink) and 'sup' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'here' is 'erhe' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
