The Adventures of Superman and Sakura: Episode 1! Sakura, ever longing to once again find master martial-artist Ryu, gets a tip that he may be in New York City to compete in an underground martial arts tournament. As she searches the streets for clues on the tournament's location, a large group of thugs accost her. It is at that moment that Superman arrives on the scene. The first thug holds a knife to Sakura's throat, threatening to kill her unless Superman backs off. Before Superman can say anything, Sakura elbows the hoodlum in the stomach, and throws him to the ground. The other two pull out their guns, and manage to fire several rounds at Sakura. Sakura raises her arms to shield herself and closes her eyes, expecting to feel the bullets pierce her. However, when she opens her eyes seconds later, Superman is standing in front of her, having shielded her at superspeed from the bullets. The thugs fire several more rounds, which merely bounce off Superman. Than, in a blur of blue and red, Superman snatches the guns from the thugs, and crushes them in his hands. The threat extinguished, he proceeds to use his heatvision to burn the rubber in the thugs' shoes to glue them to the sidewalk until police arrive...

Superman: Are you alright miss? You shouldn't have done anything, you could've been hurt badly.
Sakura: I'm fine, but who are you?
Superman: Who am I? You don't know?
Sakura: Hmmm... Blue tights, red cape, big 'S' on your chest, and...red undies on the outside. Doesn't ring a bell.
Superman: I'm Superman.
Sakura: Superman hm? Sounds kind of pompous...
Superman: Well I didn't pick it!
Sakura: Anyway, 'Superman', I'm Sakura, and what you did back there was amazing! Speed, strength, and you can shoot laser beams from your eyes!
Superman: Actually, they're not lasers, it's a form of-
Sakura: Ki energy? But you can FLY too! I mean, wow, I wish I could fly. What's the name of your style?
Superman: It's not Ki, it's concentrated yellow sun- wait a second...style?
Sakura: Y'know, your style? It's not like you were just BORN with your abilities.
Superman: Actually I-
Sakura: Ya gotta teach me how to fly! It'd make finding Ryu a lot easier...
Superman: I can't teach people how to-
Sakura: And I'd definitely be able to beat guys like Sagat and...
Superman: Sagat? The Muay Thai champion? I'm surprised you know about him.
Sakura: Know about him? I fought with him once! Sure, he got a lucky hit, but I'm going to get him next time...
Superman: Fought him?! Next time?!
Sakura: Yeah, I'm going to find Ryu, and I want him to train me! I copied a couple of his moves just by watching him! But if you can teach me some of your style too, I could be a lot stronger when I meet him, and maybe he'll take me as his student when we meet again...
Superman: I told you, I can't teach you how to have my abilities. I get my powers from the yellow sun and my-
Sakura: The sun huh? I know! You can call your style, Taiyouken, the mighty Sun Fist!
Superman: But...
Sakura: Please, be my sensei huh? Just for a little while?
Superman: I-
Sakura: Great! I can be the first ever student of Taiyouken! How about a little sparring session to celebrate?
pfft, the first round was so much better.

Suspension of disbelief.
On that note, how do Toyman and Prankster give Superman any sort of trouble...ever?
Or how do any of the Flash's enemies even manage to commit crimes, what with Flash being able to go many many times the speed of light as much as he wants due to the speed force.
The answer? They just do. And she just does.

Why not? It's not as if he doesn't do superheroing in other cities from time to time.
