Normally you won’t find images being displayed for long tail keywords but rather you will the images for single words like superman. spiderman etc.. reason is Google made a study what do people look for when they type in certain phrases like superman and other terms and they found that when people do a search for a definite term like superman or spiderman or whatever it is majority of the people who search these terms looked for pictures of it and they return results for pictures in the first result. So there is a chance that if you optimize the images you use in your blogs properly there is a chance that your images might come in the list of pictures at the top and also in the first page of Google image search there by people will visit your blog.
