1. That's like asking why the FBI and CIA wouldn't be able to track down Batman in like a week's time? There are no traffic cams or satellites? Nobody can track the route of the Batmobile driving up and down Wayne mansion property in the 21st century?
As Grant Morrison once said:
“Kids understand that real crabs don’t sing like the ones in The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really fukking dumb questions like ‘How does Superman fly? How do those eyebeams work? Who pumps the Batmobile’s tires?’ It’s a fukking made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!”
2. I dunno, it could be you know, the very personality of his character? He could've already been going around helping people without the use of his powers, doing charity, whatever. It's not that hard to make a character a good person by nature until you decide to make it hard.
3. I'd post the clip again but the Smallville fight scene that so many people love literally starts with Clark taking Zod away from his mom in some farm fields in the middle of nowhere to the center of Smallville, so every bit of destruction in that fight is a result of Superman having no issue taking a fight into a populated area. Any attempt to show Superman actually saving people is buried underneath layers of him not giving a fukk, and that's the problem. Even if he can't save everyone, show that he wants to, that it hurts him that he can't. It's a very simple principle and one thing that a lot of superhero films get right without a hitch.
..Crazy how folks dont like the 2nd act of endgame but can like all of this flick.
