Superman has always been boring since he is so powerful it's not like there are situations where he doesn;t just overpower everyone by just being powerful.
Superman is infinitely more interesting than the 37 Batman iterations we've gotten over the last 60 years.
The whole point of Superman when it's good is restraint and decision making, even while completely overpowering the enemy. You're like the US military, you could just nuke Afghanistan. But the world after that would be so much worse, so what do you do instead?
The ones where he's the villain are especially good. Explored in some Superman releases, and also the whole premise of The Boys.
But I fucking loved Smallville for a while, I don't even care if you have issues with it.
The only time Superman gets any drama is when people he cares about are in danger.
I've always preferred the Dr Manhatten approach to all powerful characters. Why would they care about us ants?
Yeah he's pretty lame as a character to build a story around.
