Ah, but: what if Joe doesn't *want* a normal life? Remember the Silver Age Superman comics? That guy practically did everything except *sleep* in those tights. Maybe this guy just has a different outlook than Clark "I want to fit in" Kent.
On the other hand, maybe Joe started out normal, but then had his own version of ToGoM? "Gee, Clark, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother dying and all. But look on the bright side: Superman is doing a lot more patrols now, so stuff like this probably won't ever happen again!"
Food for thought.
