Because unlike darkseid Thanos doesnt job. Also bear in mind that if your from DC eventually your going to get an ass whopping from Superman its an initiation didnt you know.
Granted, I think Superman would not beat Thanos. At least, not through any orthodox means, like pummeling with super-strength or even flying Thanos through a sun and beating him up. Thanos took on friggin Odin.
But Thanos himself has admitted being intimidated by the Hulk, especially Savage Hulk. His words were something like he feared such a confrontation in the 'Thanos Quest.' For if the Hulk's strength grows and grows without limit, eventually Thanos' shields would not withstand it. I can see Superman holding Thanos with all his might and Hulk beating on him til he broached the shields and actually pulped Thanos himself. The two of them alone and separate, I doubt they could accomplish that... but the two of them together? Why not?

How about some proof, instead of statements? Sentry stalemated Galactus. Spider-Man could break Wolverine's neck. Hulk is the strongest in Marvel. Surfer is stronger than Hulk.
Thanos is afraid of Hulk, even though he has took on whole armies, took on Death's minions, wasn't afraid of Mephisto, stood up to Odin, stood up to Galactus, stood up to Omega, stood up to the damn Death God, never showed fear in all of those.
But instead, he is afraid of Hulk.
Great job ace.

How much crap did Thor have to amp himself with to take out Thanos again?
Thanos never used the word 'fear' when talking about Hulk, he said it was a confrontation he sought to avoid. And that was before he had ever encountered Hulk so it was all speculation, since then he has never had any trouble with Hulk so I don't see why people bring it up. "Strange, leash your dog, or I will", thats how he talks about Hulk these days.
Thanos wins, somewhat easily. Hulk is a non-factor and he can really take Supes.
I never liked the story of Darkseid losing against Superman, it ruined the character for me. I lost my respect for DS after that, and until retconned he is no more than a chump in my eyes (I'm not delusional either, he kicks Silver Surfer whenever he wants to, he is not a chump against everyone).

Thanos has fought a dozen of Earth's most powerful heroes at once, and was holding his own just fine.
He's handled Drax as well, and he was like a cosmically powered Hulk in his prime.

Didn't Thanos have an outside powerup like the Guantlet? He didn't exactly beat all those heroe's under his own power. He retained the guantlet and only depowered himself enough for thier to be an actual battle. It never said he depowered himself all the way back down to his original lvls. He isn't that stupid.
That battle gets weirded out on KMC all the time...
Some people say he operated "On an individual plane" (Huh?)
Some say he only used the power gem (Where did they get that from?)
What he actualy did was use the infinity gauntlets full power, but no cosmic awareness or ESP, just his five senses. This allowed them to take him off gaurd.
Forget the IG arc entirely. Thanos' history still speaks for itself (it's actually surprising how little most people know besides IG when they talk about Thanos). And he rolls through this fight, just like he's punked Surfer and many other on more than one occasion (it takes him a bit of time, but he's never straining himself).
