The former is pretty much indistinguishable from "there is no Superman", though, seeing as its a radical divergence from the origin. The latter. . . well, see above for all my posts on why this would be a terrible, terrible idea. A Superman who doesn't get off his ass when nukes are flying is worse than no Superman at all.
He would have to know that there was a nuke flying around....in the case of Supergirl....NO ONE, except Kara, James and the DEO knew it, even afterwards, Cat knowing there was more to it, kept it under wraps and allowed the story as it was being told by the military to stay as the story.
So, I saw no problem with that at all, and what was Superman going to do that Supergirl and Co. didn't do? They took care of it, in a timely manner, plausible (well as plausible as this could be) and it was done.
