Superman taught us to use the privilege we have to help those that don't.

My personal compromise is that I wear my underwear on the outside, but I don't do any of the other stuff Superman does.

Superman is an ideal to strive for, not a model to emulate. Ideals are goals and guides. But pragmatism and necessity still factors into decision making

This doesn't invalidate the idea of doing the right thing just because it's right when you can.

I wouldn't call 'being the only one who can take the call when Darkseid rolls up' privilege.

that was hawk girl

Here here.

Superman is not superman because he's a Kryptonian with super powers. Superman is superman because he's an idealist and selflessly works his ass off every day to uphold those ideals in any way that he can. It just so happens that what he can do is superhuman. But we can all still contribute to an ideal like him. We can refuse to accept the world we have, the would we think we deserve, the world we think is realistic, but instead work toward an ideal world that we push for every day.

Superman, now stop making questions.

Yeah sounds kind of problematic to do whatever you think is good "no matter what the world tells you".

Morality is born from a collective. Typical American superheroes with their shallow ideals.

Not Israel, republicans, Putin, or North Korea

So Homelander defines good? The "the boys" equivalent of superman.

Superman would disagree with you. But whether that is naivete or the hope that he represents made manifest, it really wouldn't matter to him. In a world where the default was pure evil, he'd still be championing an ideal. One that might not ever exist, but it wouldn't be through lack of trying on his part. And totalitarianism or abuse of his abilities to force his desires would absolutely never fit that ideal.

If you look around in your own life, I bet you will see that the majority of people you actually know seems good.

Just down turn on the TV. It's called propaganda for a reason.

And about being good, you don't do it to gain any benefits. People seem to think that... Why be good, I don't get benefits from it.

Then you are not good yourself, because a good person doesn't have a choice. He is good because his consciousness is good. Not because of any benefits. Some good people are good because they are afraid too. They are good because they fear conflict.

And bad people are not good because they get benefits and want those benefits. It's simple.
