Take a couple of examples from Superman Returns (which is a great Superman movie, SO much better than Man of Steel).
This :
...is not an act of bravery. You might as well claim that Dwayne Johnson is brave for getting into a fight with a toddler carrying a water pistol.
But when he does knowingly face danger - and he does - then that's as brave as anybody else doing the same. Later in the same movie, Supes is taken down by the Kryptonite island. He nevertheless returns to that island and lifts the whole thing into space, an action that came extremely close to killing him. That's bravery in its noblest form.
What I hate about that...sure Superman is strong. But are we really to believe a bullet to the eye doesn’t even make him flinch? If a flick of dust goes into my eye I’m washing it out for five minutes in the bathroom sink. If it were the chest or the forehead even I’d understand but the eyeball? Even Kryptonians have to have susceptible eyeballs.
