Change my view: it's almost impossible to write good, interesting Superman. Inb4—I'm definitely an outsider and poorly educated on the subject, but I just can't see how this is possible. My reasoning:
>raised on a farm
>can't make this his character because no one wants a hick Superman and they won't allow a "conservative" Superman
>also a reporter despite his yeehaw upbringing, somehow
>obviously hard to take it seriously that no one recognizes him as Clark
>any real life / professional difficulties don't look believable since he's Superman
>not much story for the city he's in
>no real philosophy except "be a good person"
>the image of biological parents is inconsistent, with Gunn exacerbating things
>few if any villains beside Lex have motivations worth a shit, let alone a worldview, so nothing tob challenge but beat them up
>also for a franchise this big, how many famous villains he got, again beside Lex? No one even knows who Brainiac is
Maybe I'm dead wrong (and I'll admit that is proven so), but I think in the end there's a reason why Superman only beats up gods & saves people, and so many stories center on his adoptive/real parents, Lex and kryptonite before jumping to DCU/JL. There's just not that much more to do with Superman.

What is the comic book accurate character of Superman? Closer to a demigod, or a nice guy? What would you prefer for a movie?
