If the Joker had tried that in the actual comic, it probably would have melted his face off.

This issue had a Darwyn Cooke cover, but what about the insides? From 2015, Action Comics #41, "Hard Truth, part one" Story by Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, works by Pak, art by Kuder. 

We saw the fourth part to this one a couple months back, but here the largely de-powered Clark has just made his way from the Fortress of Solitude, to Alaska, on foot: not only does the whole world know his secret identity, but the Fortress also kicked him out! With money hidden in his boot, he buys a motorcycle from a local tough, who then tries to renege on the $800 sale price when he realizes who he was dealing with. Still, Clark was not completely powerless, and is able to fight off four guys who wanted the fame of kicking Superman's ass.

A motorcycle journey from Alaska to Metropolis doesn't sound completely fun, but Clark is enjoying taking his time, and simple pleasures like a good meal, a caffeine buzz, or staying in when it was cold. Still, Jimmy Olsen had signaled for him to return, and here Clark seems a bit simple: after getting outted, he was fired from the Daily Planet, his credit cards cancelled, "and sixteen different lawyers filed eight different class action lawsuits against me for Superman-related damages." (Why does that always only come up against the heroes? Just once I'd like to see Metallo's earnings garnished...) What did he think would happen? Also, this seems to be in a bit of a vacuum: no help from the bank of Bat, or the JLA; for that matter, what would the JLA do without Superman's power? (From an ad this issue, this was when Commissioner Gordon was the robot-suit Batman with the weird ears.)

The cops give Superman the hassle as soon as he rolls into town, including an officer in mirrored shades who is obviously going to be a problem later, but they let him through to his old neighborhood. Where Clark meets Jimmy, in the informally-nicknamed Kentville! The people there largely embrace their hero, although local firefighter Lee Lambert tells him not everyone; that some are still in hiding from him. But, when she gets an emergency call, Superman leaps into action! Literally, leaps: he could jump pretty good, but no flying. 

Finding firefighters confronted by a "shadow" creature, Supes gives it a pretty good punch; but the mirrorshades cop mobilizes his troops, "we've got a block to burn!"

I'm really, really not up on New 52 continuity for Superman: I know he was in the t-shirt/jeans look for his early days with Grant Morrison, then leveled up to the high collar/no trunks Jim Lee design, and this was a bit of a rollback? It also implied Clark had never been freezing cold or starving hungry before; but I feel like he had to have at some point before his powers really kicked in?
