How does a superhero who turns rogue regain the trust of the people once again

One of my pet peeves was the ending of the Superman: The Animated Series which ended in 2000 with the show called "Legacy". In the final show of the final season of "Superman The Animated Series" when Darkseid brainwashed Superman into thinking he was adopted in his planet Apokolips led an invasion of an army to attack his adopted planet before Superman and his cousin Supergirl were captured by the military using their weakness which is Kryptonite. Lois Lane who is Superman's best friend rescues him from an execution for his invasion of Earth. Superman has a final battle with Darkseid in his home planet of Apokolips and beats him but the people of Apokolips worship Darkseid instead of Superman. Superman then returns to Earth but the majority of the people in Metropolis went on record as saying he would not regain his love from them again. Lois Lane told Superman he would regain the trust from the citizens from Metropolis one person at a time. My alternate version would be that another super hero from Lexicon named Wordgirl who is a parody of Superman that made her debut on PBS Kids in 2006 would tell Superman "Don't panic Superman, just retire from crime fighting and train me as your 'niece'. These cretins will not know what hit them." Could you see Superman saying to himself "I have a niece?" Wordgirl would wink at him and tell him "Since my aunt is the masked heel wrestler The Lady Raider take it with a grain of salt." Take that Kids WB.
