Superman got his start beating up slum lords. That’s not a joke. Superman started out as the sort of guy who rooted out corruption. The “aw, shucks” version of Superman is both a bit of a later development (and also kind of the persona that he takes on as Clark Kent)
He’s all too aware. As powerful as he is, he doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems everywhere all the time. This is a source of tremendous grief for him. That’s the whole reason he’s a compelling character and not just wish fulfillment.
I mean… he is also a reporter and a genius. Chances are he’s well aware of inequalities.

The Netflix ‘daredevil’ season 1 really did a much better version of this.

I mean, ge did try to solve all the problems once, that lead to the injustice story.
