In terms of plausibility, it seems to me that ‘ordinary’ heroes have to have a reason to want to save people or they are just too good to be true.

This saddens me.

And that's it right there. Because more people know Superman but more people like Batman better. They can relate to him better than someone who just does good for the sake of doing good.

This is making me think sad things about bystander apathy and the human race in general.
