...but I can't think of anything.

- Hi, Jeremy.

- Superman!

Jimmy.

What a scoop!

- How'd you like to take a walk?

- Sure!

Jimmy, come on.

You can't! You'll get towed.

Do you know how much

a ticket costs?

Lacy, it's only money.

Will you wait for me

upstairs in the gallery?

Sure, okay.

- Good luck, Superman.

- Thanks.

I saved you a seat.

All right, Superman!

I don't represent any country but

I'd like to address the delegates.

Well, in that case,

you will need a sponsor.

I believe that will do. Please.

Thank you.

What's he gonna say?

Something wonderful.

Madam Secretary...

...honorable delegates,

ladies and gentlemen.

For many years now

I've lived among you as...

...a visitor. I've seen

the beauty of your many cultures.

I've felt joy in your magnificent

accomplishments.

I've also seen the folly of your wars.

As of today I'm not a visitor

anymore, because the Earth...

...is my home too.

We can't live in fear.

And I can't stand...

...idly by and watch us

stumble into the madness...

...of possible nuclear destruction.

I've come to a decision.

I'm going to do what our governments

have been unwilling to do.

Effective immediately, I'm going to

rid our planet of all nuclear weapons.

All right, Superman!

Way to go, Superman!

Missile test Alpha, all systems go.

- Three... two... one.

Oh!

Oh. Nice to see you guys!

Why don't you just relax there.

I'll get on with the introductions:

Dixie.

And Trixie.

From the land of the free, the home of

the great cost overrun, Harry Howler:

Nuclear strategist from

America's top think tank.

And a great little warmonger

in his own right.

A hearty bienvenue

to Jean-Pierre Dubois:

Nuclear warhead dealer to the world.

His motto is:

"If you didn't buy it

from Jean-Pierre...

...you didn't buy it

on the black market."

General Romoff.

A lot of people think of you

as the "Mad Russian."

I like to think of you

as just madly eccentric.

Please be seated.

Look guys. I know you're all choked

up, kind of overcome with joy...

...that Superman has ended

the arms race.

But if we work together,

we can make the world safe...

...for war profits.

Get to the point.

The point is, I, Lex Luthor, greatest

criminal mind of the modern era...

...have found a way

to destroy Superman.

Behold, my unscrupulous friends...

Shut those blinds.

- The sun is hurting my eyes!

- Exactly.

You know what the sun is?

It's nothing more than

a huge nuclear bomb...

...a bomb with so much radiation, it'd

incinerate the average man like that!

Yes, but Superman is no average man.

Aha, right!

What is your plan?

Boys, old Lex here

has kind of a secret recipe...

...a genetic stew in this dish,
