Not everyone has a watch like yours, Jimmy.

But seriously, Superman is a person, not an item. He has his own life and shit to deal with. If the world is ACTUALLY looking like it's going to end he'll be there anyway.

Because he's weak, unlike Batman.

If you're being serious, you misunderstand the premise of what is a very good story in a collection that, at least for the first six or so arcs, was a really great run.

Superman understands he needs to be, as Bruce himself once said (from that same said run): ""It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him."

Bruce isn't willing to allow himself the capacity to embrace being as fully human as he could and should be.

You may call that strength. I'd say that's Batman's weakness.

But is Clark allowing himself time to "be human" in lieu of helping people in need?

The very first Astro City story examined this problem with its Superman pastiche, although keeping his personality firmly grounded in humanity.

Do you get your dad to solve every little problem you have?

a) because superman won't be around forever and many people want to prove that the world will go on even without big bro supes acting as a safety net
b) because superman is not immune to stress or going insane. if he worked round the clock solving everything he would burn out exponentially faster resulting in the total number of lives saved during his superhero career being much much less that if he paces himself and takes care of his own needs on the regular

Isn't this from the story in which Batman gains Superman's powers and goes full crazy dictator with them?

Did he ever need those powers for that?
