Yeah, it'd be cool to see a movie where Superman is shown to deal with the mental struggle that it is to have a normal life while being aware of millions of crimes being committed at all times.

How does he deal with it? How can he enjoy a coffee and relax while he can literally hear a child being raped or something?

That's what the story of a character like Superman should be about. At least the first story.

Maybe when he's young and has to come to terms with the fact that he will have to let people suffer horribly if he wants to have a normal life. With someone with as much empathy as Superman, that'd be hell.

Maybe it wouldn't make a good movie but a good graphic novel. Maybe it's been done. I haven't read many Superman comics.

Isn't that about the same percentage that vote conservative every election?

This was a study on mice using a running wheel and how their brains changed, which they then compared to human brain tissue from people who had Alzheimer.
