Why didn't Superman just grab the child and fly away?
Superman had no idea there was child there, he just wanted to fuck up a train.
It's the trolley problem. Picking up a kid in time to beat a speeding train would just snap his little neck. Stopping a speeding train to save the little boy would most likely kill anyone on board.
This scenario indicates superman would rather kill a train full of people, rather than having witnesses see him sit idle as a child removes himself from the gene pool.
My hypothesis is that this is the child of Lex Luther, or possibly a clone. He's literally playing on train train tracks, baiting super man into a win-less scenario via the trolley problem. It's the perfect scheme to slowly make him question the consequences of all his actions and eventually his entire purpose.
He was feeling a bit Hancock that day.
Where is my Bourbon?
The train was carrying electric sharing kick scooters to be deployed into metropolis and Superman wasn't about to let it happen
Because it's an Amtrak.
