The bit with the bear and the moat reminds me of when the family and I were in Yellowstone several years back. There was a grizzly bear out in a field. While we kept our distance and watched from the road by our car, a good number of people thought they'd get a closer look. Apparently they thought that because they were on one side of a narrow river and the bear was on the other, it was safe. Luckily, the bear stayed on its side, but it would have been a rude awakening for those people if he had decided not to. That bear could've crossed that river in no time flat if he had had a mind to.
Superman can no longer breathe unter water or in space without assistance. He also lost his freeze breath, as he has lost some of his abilities as he ages

If it were the Bat Jet, then she could have used a Bat Rope to lower herself down with the jet hovering. Does the Invisible Jet have an Invisible Rope for the same function?

I don't know if it can do all that, but when a tiny octopus squirts some ink into the water, the stuff is really fun to play with. It just sort of hangs there in little strands that you can twist around and stuff.

After licensing it to the US military for a few billion dollars, I'd be eating Kobe beef and lobster in my own private luxury box of the NHL franchise I own.

I didn't pluralize it because the media didn't know it was two killers at the time. Earth, the Australia of the space ants. Yeah, the distance is a stretch, but we can't complain too much, because we have to buy Superman's origin story. Sure, Krypton might be closer, but if you go on the Carousel of Progress at Disney World, you'll see how the trip from New York to California dropped from a week or so to the hours it takes now. They might just be a scene or so ahead of Krypton when it came to their tech level. The last story was pretty basic. I didn't think their only chance was dealing with the tribe. All they had to do was rescue the geologists from the log, and suggest they look elsewhere for their minerals.
