"After this flight, I'm gonna feel like crap tonight? Get it? Sounds like kryptonite? I'm Superman, and that was a joke about how no one likes air travel."

"Laundry day."

"It's not the fans, it's just a few people in white wigs and members of parliament. They got a problem because the law is from the 1800s."

"Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Supes riding coach."

"I'm excited to finally get a chance to relax and enjoy a good meal while flying."

"No, I'm 1940's Cartoon Superman."

"I didn't notice. I can hear children screaming all over the world."

Hahahahaa

I get a lot of frequent flier miles

They overbooked Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

"MY passport says Bruce Wayne."

Ebert's entry: "This way I don't get as many bugs in my teeth."

"Don't freak out, but both engines failed. I'm holding this plane up with my buttcheeks."

"would you like to hear another of my superhero-themed bondage fantasies? Stewardess! 2 more vodka sodas for me and Amory Lovins, please!"

"I plan on getting drunk. You'll love Absolut All-Star Superman."

"i can see through your clothes. right through them. does that turn you on?"

"It could be weirder. Like, just to pick an example at random, I might be wearing luggage."

"Lol, this legroom sure isn't 'super'!"

"I just travel this way for the patdowns."

"Nope, just a regular guy. What is this 'air marshal' program of which you speak?"

"Yes, I started having to travel this way after I became a quadriplegic. Thanks for reminding me, asshole."

"There's a man out there."

"Well, the other way, I miss out on all the great deals from Skymall!"

All of nuts' are killing it.

this could so win!

What do you mean Comic Con isn't till next month?

is there perhaps a more New Yorker word for "buttcheeks"? If so I think it should be submitted.

Also I'd change "freak out" to "panic"

I'm no help because I want to change the stinger to "I'm holding this plane up with pure anal suction."
