In a world with Superman, a crazy supervillain doing an inside job to try and make Supes look like he failed would be totally plausible.

I thought the joke was he flew through the building to stop the jet.

In panel 2, there are speed lines showing he flew down from above to catch the plane. He didn't fly through the building.

The joke is that the building was rigged to collapse anyway, poking fun at that infamous 9/11 conspiracy theory.

Isn't this a plot point in Batman v. Superman? A bomb at a congressional hearing kills everyone but Superman.

Sounds like a fake movie that doesn't exist as anything but a hypothetical origin for a future Injustice-type Superman.
