Anyone here who is a comic book NEEEERD, a question. We all saw in The Dark Knight the whole dynamic where the Joker "needs" Batman, do the Superman comics ever go into a dynamic between Superman and Lex Luthor? Where Superman subconsciously "needs" Luthor to provide the excuses to come out of his shell? Like a scene where he's at the Daily Planet getting chewed out by Perry White and secretly thinking to himself, "Please, Luthor, I need a giant robot on the rampage right now."

I've never seen that about him and Luthor, no.

In Kingdom Come, Superman has given up and gone away because someone killed the Joker in broad daylight and was found not guilty for it. It's been a while since I've read KC, but I recall Mark Waid depicting regular DC citizens saying they thought Superman was a dinosaur for not doing that job himself. You could make the argument that Superman has a (sub)conscious need that the people he fights for believe in him.
