This was originally brought up on an episode of Seinfeld, but given the subject matter, I think it deserves mentioning again.

Superman has all kinds of super powers and super senses (vision, hearing, etc...), so why wouldn't he have super-humor? Or super-compassion? Or even super-wise-cracking? If that's the case, and I think there's a pretty good argument that it is, then I'd have to say that I'd have to go with Superman.

Here's another question about Superman that I heard somewhere. Why would he just stand there and let bullets bounce off him, but duck when a bad guy threw an empty gun at him? And for that matter, why would the bad guy even throw the gun at him if the bullets had no effect?
