An odd idea I had, not sure if it's very funny

SUPERMAN LANDS INFRONT OF A LARGE CROWD APPARENTLY HAVING JUST SAVED THE WORLD.
THE CROWD IS SILENT.

SUPERMAN

Well I stopped Lex Luthor, and his doom ray.

SILENCE

SUPERMAN

Aren't you grateful?

PERSON1

No, sorry. Look I'm a Christian I believe God manifested in human form, and shared my mortal suffering, thus validating it. By manifesting as a supernatural being who maintains his superiority you make my faith meaningless.

SUPERMAN

Ok, well what about the rest of you?

PERSON2

I'm an aetheist. Neiztche suggested we need to overcome our primitive superstisions to become the superman with in our selves. You kinda disprove that.

SUPERMAN

Well what about Lex Luthor I saved you from him, he had a doom ray, it was really lethal.

PERSON1

Well by trying to overcome you, he actually represents the pinacle of human endeavour.

PERSON2

And frankly you could kill us all with your superpowers anytime you felt like.
Our lives mean nothing, becuase they are dependent on you to choose not to destroy us.

SUPERMAN

Do you all feel like this?

GENERAL MUMBLES OF AGREEMENT.

PERSON1

It's nothing personal.

SUPERMAN

Right then so you don't want me,

STARTS TO CRY

I'll jsut fly away somewhere where I'm wanted. You carbon based ingrates.

FLYS OFF.

BATMAN WALKS ON.

BATMAN

Never fear citizens, I'll bring justice and....

HE'S PELTED WITH GARBAGE

PERSON1

Boo vigilantism undermines the rule of law!

PERSON2

You undemocratic monster.

Superman Returns took two and a half interminable hours out of my life to make exactly the same point AND it didn't have a guest appearance by Batman.

Is this a good thing?

And is the fact your flashing your moobs at me praise?

This is a good thing. Superman Returns was not.

And the nipples are for zooo's benefit. It's a long story.

Like Superman Returns.

Who am I to judge you can see my Hippocampus.

Who's flashing nipples?

Graham has shown some decency, but as for the skit your thoughts?

Sooty, it's a rewrite of Narnia but what a rewrite - the best, you prodigious beast. I think it needs some polishing but the idea is brill.

I may polish it.

If you've read Miracle man, or Watchmen you'll see I'm ripping off the ideas of a literary God.

Polish it and get a set of non-topical sketches you can pop out as and when needed. I meant it's a rewrite of your Narnia sketch not THE Narnia. But another level up.

Thanks it's an idea i'm kicking around about doing philosophical/analytical skits.

Not that funny.

But companion pieces to the skits about Moseley getting his damages shoved up his fundament.

Did you read Mircale man? Took me a year to track down all the bits, best thing Alan Moore ever wrote.

Miracle Man? Have you really got all the bits? The part where he disposes of little Johnny is astonishing.

Not read it. Is it good good?

Yes, and horrible at the same time.

The whole battle for London, the entrails wrapped round the Post Office Tower.

Ok Watchmen was the inferior copy of this comic.

It's the only comic that Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore worked on together.

It's the only comic to actually embody Neitzchean philosophy.

It's that good.

Sooty, I think this is one of the best sketches you have posted. It is a brilliant idea (as SlagA says) and you should tidy up its loose ends as soon as you can before somebody less talented nicks it.
