At least make sure no non management workers are in trouble. You don't have to put the fires out.

It's Superman. Surely with his x-ray vision he could see that there was no one left.
That's why he listens.
The militarily would ~~send~~ asks nicely Superman to deal with the "domestic terrorism" that is threatening the 'murikan way of life & save the innocent glorious cars.
Also Sexxy Lexxy would have produced way better cars.
Superman of the comics (from about the mid-80s onward) would tell the military, politely, to go find a location to fornicate with themselves.
Also the animated Superman. He took would tell them to go fuck themselves. Neither one would actually curse.
That being said, both incarnations would put the fire out, if only to prevent environmental damage.
Possibly by dropping a large block of ice on the building.
Superman in the '30s would be lighting the fires.
Idk, it kinda looks like the cyber truck to me:
In the words of Captain America:
"Let's not get carried away. I've known good vampires. People who never asked for this curse, who don't inflict their pain and hunger on others. But I've never known a good Nazi."
There are lots of good nazis, aka dead nazis.
imo it would be funnier if he started taking pictures (since he's supposed to be a journalist, right?)
That's Jimmy Olsen's whole purpose. Even Clark gets to "not my job" this situation.
Good job Superman.
What about if the fire spread to surrounding buildings?
It’s a good thing dealerships are usually completely separate from other buildings, and by quite a way!
Well, he is superman, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

"Hey, I saw someone doing something illegal to a capitalist!"
No you fucking didn't.
I knew Superman was a domestic terrorist.
I’m not an expert but it might be tricky to argue that an actual bonafide genuine alien could be a domestic terrorist…
Superman is as American as apples.
That is a sentence I cannot disagree with.
Only because the path to citizenship for earth humans can be as long as 28 years in the united states. How long do you think it takes for a kryptonian?

I mean, there was that time he tore down the homes of a bunch of low income people.
Was that the MOVE bombing? Because I'm pretty sure he blamed that on a black mayor.
From January 1939, Superman single-handedly tears down a low-income neighborhood. He wasn't attacking a group of political activists. He just decided that a group of homes were slums and thus worthy of being demolished.

I can feel Reddit giving me a warning for upvoting this
I got a good chuckle out of it lol. Though there are some incongruencies. Phone booths are an anachronism that really don't exist currently alongside tesla. Especially not the bright red BT phone booths. Those definitely would not be the variety seen in Metropolis. But those are only small little nitpicks that don't distract from the larger message which I agree with.
Metropolis was at least partially based on Joseph Shuster's home town of Toronto, and there's a bright red BT-style phone booth in Eglinton Square on Victoria Park Ave.
Definitely a fun fact🙂
Well fuck you then, he hopped into a Doctor-Who-themed strip-club before changing his clothes. Superman likes the strange. Get over it.
