if superman is fighting the villain in a highly populated area they should address why superman can't take the fight somewhere deserted like Goku would usually do.

he did that in superman 2. although i think it would be much cooler to fight in the middle of the city, villians could use innocent bystanders against superman.

He cannot just fly off and hope they chase him there either. Some he has tried to take to more isolated areas, but like Doomsday, end up bashing him around when he tries to move him. Most of the reason why is that Superman’s Villains do not just show up, square off, and "try to fight" Superman. Also, on plenty of occasions, Superman has done just that, when he can. He has taken it to the moon before it if he has to. I think if there is a big enough fight, maybe the movie should do just that, they start fighting in the city, and then Superman moves the fight out to some other place. |

who would protect the city from a supervillain attack or if one breaks out of Stryker's when superman is off on Warworld or Apokolips? luckily for the superman returns movie they didn't have to worry about such an idea when he went searching for Krypton b/c there weren't any other supervillains around except Lex.

well if we were in a world with crazy hightech weapons and other superheroes around some other guy could come in, or the special police on super beings and all that.

if superman lives in a world where other superheroes exists perhaps they can bring up the topic of how Superman would and should never be like the batman. ma or pa kent or even lois can bring it up.

if superman finds some other way to defeat the villain other than fighting them til their down they should address why he didn't think of or do that in the first place. especially if that solution was available all along.

two other things that could be addressed are: where does superman go after a fight? and where has he been before he first shows up?
maybe the people of metropolis could become curious about where he disappears to after his first couple of appearances. |

well in the comics they think he is being a hero 24/7 right? so maybe they will just think he is off doing another save somewhere around the world.

1. Krypton = Earth
2. Clark is clumsy, weak, slouched over, uncharismatic he wears the uniform of the everyman, and a fortress of solitude. 3. Superman can fly because of telekinesis. |

What I want to know is presicely why Superman does not work 24/7 as a superhero? It's clear that more people could be saved if he were active all the time. |

1. No , I wouldn't address it . I might give Kryptonians a different lanuage with subtitles .
2. I think the Lois and Clark method of different Hair styles and body posture is enough . I wouldn't mind Clark also having a bit of a midwestern accent , where as Superman's voice may be deeper and without an accent. Not a Batman growl, but more of bass sound. 3. The yellow sun gives him enhanced abilities. Nuff said.Lol. |

yea from what i like to think is superman would like to have time to do other things and have a life besides doing the hero thing. Sure that is a main thing for him and he wants to be there for the world and help when he can. But it would be a boring life if thats all he had to do.

^ You don't need it spelt out; the existence of Clark Kent and the double identity is the very answer to your question. Superman can't be Superman all day, he'd go crazy, quite literally. Best-case-scenario, he'd end up like Red Son Superman.

I think he should have a solid reason to spend 8 hours a day having a job instead of saving lives. |

I can imagine a scene where a Doomsday, Metallo, Darkseid, ect shows up in downtown Metropolis spoiling for a fight.
Supermans first concern would be all the innocent bystanders. The villain would think no more of them than we do ants. Superman would try of course to lead the Villain away but I doubt it would work. I could see some loss of life in a situation like that. Does Superman save the family of four who are trapped in a building thats about to collapse, or the police officers who are about to get crushed by the villain. Keep in mind Superman would be fighting the villain at the same time he is trying to save innocents. If such a situation really happened, the loss of life would be considerable. So unless we want a ''kiddie'' film, i'd like to see something like this. You could have lots of tension if its done correctly.

That aside, if he doesn't mingle, he'll lose sight of why he does what he does and even out of good intentions, he'll most likely end up a dictator of sorts. He already does the most he can; he takes time out of the day to patrol the streets, he has a 24/7 open channel in his freaking head to respond to calls for help and he has based his entire career around being employed in a major news center where he can stay on top of everything that happens worldwide. That's already going the extra mile, without losing everything that makes him human. |

^ It really depends on the writer. Realistically speaking, he probably needs to do both at a much lower frequency than other human beings. For all intends and purposes, his body is still very much structured like any other person's, which means he needs the cooldown and food to process.
These things are usually addressed in pretty much every version, though; I'd expect them to throw a line or two about it somewhere there. |
