I’d love for batman to explain at one point, that even though superman could solve 99% of their problems, and also that Superman would be within seconds of being called.
that the risk of overworking him is too great, if his human relations suffer, if he gets depressed or stressed or burn out. the risk is too great.
imagine superman giving up, or having a mental breakdown.
the consequences will be superman being more sloppy and causing unintended collateral damage or die (losing earth greatest asset), or maybe even have a full mental breakdown and detached from humanity and try to “fix” the world rather than protect it.
Superman not being called for every issue is a matter of upmost importance.

That’s basically the entire basis of The Sentry from Marvel.
What if Superman had depression.
exactly.
but it fits so well with the the comic universe where every problem could be solved by superman.
I actually really love that idea. It really helps fill in the gaps.
plus, explains why Superman is that one superhero who is allowed to be colourful and happy. while everyone else has dark and gritty.
