It's super gay that a continuing theme in superman is his internal psychological conflict. Superman is sad, superman is lonely, superman is angry.
As if I'm supposed to be all simpatico like "Oh, I have those emotions too. I really understand his struggle now. I hope he comes through it ok."
If it was just some schlub who couldn't fly you'd be like 'Hey, suck it up, pal. Life's tough all over." That poor guy is working 3 jobs, has a fat wife, and would die, right there on the spot, if someone just smacked him in the head with a brick. And you don't give a fuck about him.
