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.

Exactly, because as Superman he seems so above everything, humans would fall into the mindset of seeing him as just what they see and nothing more than a fulltime superman.
Its also normal for humans to create hero exaggeration. No matter how tall Superman is for example, people will think he is a half foot taller than that, because of the impression he gives them. They see him as a Mythic god.
That is another thing that actually should be explained, as it would make a good character development.
I mean about him not being a god.
He could be talking to Lois, as she is taking notes for a story "is Superman a god?", and he responds to her with "absolutely not. I cannot be everywhere at once, I am not omnipresent, even as fast as I am".
To which Lois responds with (somewhat sadly) "and thats why you cannot save everyone?"
Superman responds with "I can see through walls, but I cannot see eveything either, I am not all seeing".
Lois; " I know now, so you dont pick and chose who you will save, you just do the best you can?".
Superman; " Yes, I will always do everything I can to save anyone, but as powerful as I am, I do not have the power to save everyone from harm, and I certainly do not have the power to save their soul. I should never be confused with a god either".
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.
I always thought it's like that. BUt it wouldn't be any difficult to check that Superman was nowhere to be seen. Otherwise there would be news about it and everyone would be knowing about it.
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.
I'm sure even Superman needs a change of pace from time to time. He also needs time for relationships.
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.
Because he needs to have a life. Even if he wasn't raised as a human, which already makes that a big deal in and on itself, he'd still need to be in touch with his own humanity. He's not a god, he can't spend all day patrolling the streets, he'll flip.Superman could sleep 8 hours a day and all (so he doesn't have to be Superman literally 24/7). But how could he go crazy if his mental and brain capacities exceed human ones?
