[DC] It is said that the the supervillain attacks in Gotham are small and contained enough that the average citizen isn’t affected very much on a frequent basis. But how about metropolis? How much of an inconvenience is the weekly alien invasion or shenanigans by fifth dimensional imp?

About the same.

Yes, the things that attack metropolis are much more powerful, but the people that *protect* metropolis are too. Zod can do more damage then the Joker, but Superman can prevent more damage then Batman, and they about balance out.

This means (as confirmed by reading the comic documentaries) that most cases don't tend to escalate beyond a block in damage, with rare serious incidents affecting larger areas and the very occasional massive incident affecting the whole city. Just like Gotham, the Heroes tend to resolve things before they get too serious.
