It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!!
Have you ever thought about how stupid that quote is? I mean, seriously -- the people of that city (amazingly, its name escapes me) must be pretty dense. How could one possibly confuse the three? They're totally different objects. The only - and I mean only - thing they have in common is that they fly. A notable quality, maybe, but certainly not a rare one. And certainly not one that would cause you to confuse a flying man in a cape with a giant hunk of metal in the sky. I'll bet the brainteasers in the Daily Planet look a lot like this:
And even if it were a bird or a plane, who gives a damn? Seriously, imagine how the conversation would go if those idiots were right.
IDIOT 1: It's a bird!
IDIOT 2: It's a plane!
IDIOT 1: Oh, is it? No! No, wait, it flapped its wings! It is a bird!
IDIOT 3: Oh, wow, a bird!
IDIOT 4: A bird? Where? I wanna see!
See what I mean? That'd be one of the problems with being able to fly. Of course, I guess if you had super speed people might mistake you for a roadrunner, or if you could shoot fireballs out of your hands people might think you were Mario or something or ask you to light their stove for them. "Great power comes with great responsibility", indeed.
