[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8229762, member: 18182"] Only in a comic-book universe sense . . . in a more realistic world, even someone as powerful as Superman could take some downtime, as there wouldn't be supervillains and alien invasions several times per week. And there is the unrealism of Superman himself, not just a super-powered being from another world, but one of godlike power. I've only been able to enjoy Superman stories that either tone his powers down a bit, or give him serious drawbacks to deal with. In the current show, besides Superman's struggle to find that work-life balance, he demonstrates to his son how overwhelming being able to hear just about everything going on across the planet all at once can be, and how he learned to deal with it. It was a pretty good explanation of how such a being can hear someone calling for help on the other side of the world, yet not be aware of every problem happening, not being overwhelmed, and needing those super-beepers he gives to family and friends.
