Or Superman could have thrown Vandal Savage into the sun. Try getting out of that one, Mr Immortal!

Super Size Me
The methodological problem is that it was one guy and no control group.
There was an experiment later where they asked a group of people to eat the same amount of calories as Spurlock did but let them eat whatever they wanted. (Pizza was popular.)
They all got very fat, but did not suffer the health

I liked it when Flash told Superman, "Should have used your heat vision."
Something that I've shouted at him many times when he's been wrestling with a giant robot or whatever and for some reason forgets to just destroy it with his eyes.

The American public comes across as really stupid in this episode. First they hate the Justice League because some idiot tells them they're a threat to the world. Then the Justice League come very close to actually destroying the world, and the people love them again?
There must have been a moment we don't get to see

I'm with the crazy widow. Superman has super-speed and super-vision. It would probably take him about five minutes to scan the city and warn everyone who has a threatening medical condition. But he'd rather swan around arresting thieves and pretending to be a journalist.

I wish there was more consistent logic to these sketches. I can't help noticing when, say, the characters who are supposed to always multiply or divide numbers say the correct numbers when they're explaining the rules of their colleagues' defects. Or when the man who can't pronounce the letter 'c' pronounces it

When one of my henchmen lets me down, I say, "I'm disappointed that you didn't try harder." I don't need to threaten them. It's enough that I'm their boss and their career prospects are entirely in my hands. Even veiled criticism hurts from someone who has so much power over you. It's bad enough that I'm making them

"What did the League of Shadows hope to accomplish by murdering everyone in Gotham City?"
The Ra'as Al Ghul I know felt the world was overpopulated and exterminating a few million (or, ideally, billion) people would be a good thing, as long as it didn't harm the environment too much. The Nolan films don't mention this,

The things that annoyed me most were:
1 No guards around the prison pit? What's to stop any passer-by throwing down a rope ladder to rescue a friend or relative?
2 The cops versus criminals battle: why did it turn so quickly into a brawl? Guns work! Just shoot them!
3 Why were my scenes cut out? I, the Puzzler, am the
