Why doesn't Superman just fix everything?

I don't know, but he should probably get to fixing that smart mouth of yours, you little shit.

Because DC would stop making a profit off of nerds.
>>
>>78322260
Because he's scum

>>78322260
Not enough time for him to get everywhere.
>>
>>78322260
Cause he's too busy with his sex life.

quality post

He's not humanity's babysitter. If he constantly just fixed everything, people would become way too reliant on him, which could be extremely problematic if he ever had to leave.

>>78322260
1. he's not omnipotent
2. he can't be everywhere at once
3. he isn't needed for every crime or disaster
4. he has his own life to live. he isn't Superman 24/7
5. it's a fucking comic book, you casual.

also,

>why doesn't Batman KILL the Joker?

piss off.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.
>>
Because he can't.

That's literally the character's conflict. He can't save everyone and fixe everything even if he wants to.
>>
Money.

DC wants to make money.

He's a fictional character that exists to make money.

Him actually making a change and ending conflict would not make money.

How does Superman justify allowing hell to exist?

>tfw you realize Superman constantly has to ignore people's cries for help because he can't be everywhere at once

Dude must have an amazing peace of mind for that not to drive him completely insane.
>>

I'd like to see that in a comic. Superman has to ignore the cries of someone being raped to finish watching a movie.

And why would you want to see this?
>>
>>78322260
Because Lex Luthor said him not to bottle the world

That was one of the things that drove the Superman-like in Irredeemable to the breaking point.
