Superman Is Too Damn Powerful
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Sometimes, Superman is just too damn powerful. Think about it. The guy can fly, shoot lasers out his eyes, has superstrength, is pretty much indestructible and can move at something close to the speed of light.
How is a villain supposed to compare to that? Or even fellow heroes. Yes, we all know Batman's cool and all, but he's just a regular guy. And no matter how cool his toys and gadgets are, no matter how cool his training is, there's just no way he'll ever be able to be on the same level as a guy who can fly around the world in the time it takes him to blink.
The above video is a hilarious demonstration of that. What if Superman showed up during the Dark Knight? If you look at it honestly, Batman is only really facing regular humans. They're nothing to Superman. This video is pretty much accurate in my opinion as to what would have happened if Supes flew into Gotham while the Joker was running amok.
This is why Superman has no awesome villains. He's too damned hard to write for. He can do just about everything.
