I guess you could explain it like that, but I'd really prefer it if they just started writing Superman stories with a more realistic depiction of the world around Superman in mind. It would add more drama since, while Superman himself is invulnerable, the rest of the world isn't, so Supes should have to be extremely careful with how he uses his powers if he's actually going to save anyone.

Larry Niven wrote a great essay many years ago about the physical realities of being Superman. My favorite bit was about how him having sex with Lois Lane would have resulted in her head being blown off.

The Superman in Man of Steel didn't give a crap about the world around him.

yeah but it showed what you're talking about. he's a destructive force of nature that can cause great misery even when he's trying to do the right thing
