He also doesn't know about the trade paperback
Superman: For All Seasons. In that book, a tornado and a subsequent conversation with a clergyman both played formative roles in his life. (Incidentally, the scene of an ecstatic young Clark/Superman flying over a herd of zebras was taken directly from the trade paperback
Birthright. The makes of the movie did do their Superman research.)

I agree that by human standards, he was mad. I'm not sure whether the Kryptonians would have agreed with that assessment, though. They might have considered him to be fulfilling his role as a soldier-born. I think that, at least in part, his "madness" had been bred into him.
