I saw the same panels of the comics.
In that particular instance, I do believe that was Stalin and Hitler. Or else I didn't see the same comic. Either way, in this instance Superman's not doing anything the US wouldn't have liked or tried to, but were just lacking the ability to do.

You bring up an interesting point and something I wanna point out: Largely, I've always felt the failing (in story) is the court being unable or unwilling to act when it most decidedly is their responsibility and duty to execute justice against whatever villain happens to land in custody. Typically though the justice system in comics is always failing is because legacy characters carry comic sales so hard it's impossible for any permanent removal of any of them. As far as a story reason goes I have no idea and I can't fathom a good excuse for why a court would look at someone who has proven time and again to be both a flight risk and a threat to public safety and then grant them bail which they have every consistently jumped.
But maybe someone who is more into the comics could explain that one.
