I think folks don't appreciate how the DC big characters actually work outside of their superheroics to fight the badguys.
The other example is Batman, People watch the Nolan movies and don't realize that 99% of the time Batman is doing detective work following up on leads from other super detectives, including Clark, or putting his vast wealth to work trying to uproot the poverty and corruption in Gotham without getting killed by the entrenched interests making use of that poverty and corruption.
His supporting cast is literally just him being the world's most over the top big brother program member, save entirely other lead superheros, everyone in Batman's belfry is some degree of rescue case from the streets or an abusive past life.
