There doesn't seem to be a point, if you see the central point being a crime story. Superman has so much power that he should be able to stop any crime.

Frederick Wertham looked at super-hero comics and read them all as crime comics. That's all he saw in them. That and sexual acts where any two lines intersected.

I don't look at a classic World's Finest Comic and see a crime story. I see a story about two friends who hang out together, because they really like each other and respect each other. Along with a young boy who admires them both and wants to aspire to the values of honesty and charity that they represent.

I see three people having fun and living their lives the way they want.

why batman is neccescary

As misspellings go, this one is awesome.  Of course Batman would be neccescary.  :-)

This part's wrong, though.  I'm pretty sure Batman is stronger than most bats.  Maybe not those really big vampire bats in "Temple of Doom," but most other ones.
