I think you are right. Maybe there could be a movie that presents Superman as having a secret identity, and then he has to work to convince people this is an unworkable plan. I think he only could succeed if he had Lois on his side.
On the other hand, presenting the idea that there is a "fortress of Solitude" in the artic where Superman goes to be alone could be part of a plan to beef up the image of Superman always being Superman.
