Why didnt superman go to battle in World War 2?

Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, was introduced in 1938, just before World War II, and although he symbolized hope and justice, his early stories focused more on fighting crime and social injustices rather than direct military involvement. Additionally, the comics aimed to entertain and inspire readers rather than depict the grim realities of war. As the war progressed, Superman did eventually become a symbol of American patriotism, appearing in war-themed stories and promoting enlistment and support for the troops, but his initial narrative kept him out of direct combat scenariOS.
