OK I lie, but solveable after(quite)a while without assistance, which I couldn’t say after the previous Nestor. Thanks Twencelas and Nestor.

Twencelas has mentioned many of the clever deceptions. I particularly liked Batman, where I was tempted by Lawman until I got the wordplay. It is a tribute to Nestor’s skill that all the wordplay becomes clear once the answer is arrived at. I had no queries or quibbles.

I only knew Dramamine from the couplet in Allan Sherman’s song about the Jewish travelling salesman, Bye Bye Bloomberg:
Packed my Playboy magazine,
Drip-dry shirt, Dramamine…

I couldn’t parse 17d even tough the answer was obvious. Superuser and Dramamine were new to me but easily confirmed by googling. 25a raised a smile.
