      He's the best superhero not because he's the strongest or because he can shoot lasers out of his eyes. It's because no matter what, you can always depend on him to make the right call. And you can always trust him like that not because he's superman, but because he's Clark Kent, country boy with a heart of gold. His greatest strength, the one he is truly respected for, is his humanity.

      There's no traumatic backstory, there's no quest for vengeance, she just wants to help.
      Hopefully (no pun intended), the new Superman movie keeps this up. Clark Kent, beyond his Kryptonian might, is nothing more but a farmboy raised right. He'd still help people even if he wasn't Superman.

    That's the beauty of Superman. He's not the government. He's not the police. He's not a ruler, a tyrant, a king or a despot. He to remain a humble guy from Rural America. For all of his alien heritage, all of his immense power, the core of who he is. . . is the lovingly-raised son of the Kents. He's Clark. Superman is the persona, Clark is the man behind it. Clark is the driving force, not the power.
    He represents hope and some faith in the notion of justice. He's represented in each of us when we choose to do good despite it all. Every little thing you do to help someone else, when you hold yourself to honesty, integrity, and principles, you embody Superman. He's humanity at our best, and never does he forget his humble farmboy roots. He's an honest and earnest person. He's old-school values.

      Even if he has the power to end a lot of our issues he realizes and lets us know that he can't be there always solving everything, that the change is within us. We need to be better, not be babysit by an all powerful being, because he believes humanity has the potential to be better by their own.

      Injustice (comics) has Bruce be an ass & downright turn on Clark when Clark came to him for emotional support. Diana got turned into a warmonger who drove Clark down the path of a tyrant for no reason. One of the worst cases was Barry though. He was turned into a coward who blindly looked to Superman, cause he was incapable of thinking for himself.

    Planting a tree and let him growth can be boring and you need years until the tree is big enough to give a shadow where you can rest in a hot summer day etc, but you let something back even when you are already dead.
    Burn down? You have some "fun" for maybe 1-2 hours but thats it

      As to the "skip the villain arc" I actually agree and disagree with it myself. There are moments, like the recent hopemaxxing, where I wish to do good and be good just cause it's a good thing to do.

    Probably one of my favorite scenes in comic book history is when he goes to confront Shazam, Shazam wrecked an entire police station in rage to get the man who killed his best friend, superman meets up with Shazam later to ask him why he did what he did. Shazam ends up revealing who he really is, a child, and immediately Superman goes from being upset at Shazam to asking Billy Batson "Who did this to you" confronting Solomon despite his own weakness to magic

    and that my friends is what makes Superman Great.
    People don't want to believe that people can be good for Goodness Sake. Because they're hiding something is more of a popular belief than to admit that we can bring about good in ourselves because of one persons Selfless Actions.

    the general exhaustion towards anti heroes and dark depictions of the superman archetype has driving people back to the original intent of superheroes like superman, not the desire for immense power but for power to be in the hands of the good. Eventually people will get board of that too again but for now im happy to be on this side of the ever flipping coin.

      people get bored of one end and go to the other.
      typical, and the way humanity has always been in truth.
      I said being aware of the cycle of man is how you transcend it.

      My senior yearbook quote was a Superman quote
      “Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us into something better. And on my soul, I swear that until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice are the reality we all share, I'll never stop fighting.” From “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice, and The American Way?”

    Sometimes, people forget that it's not wrong to create characters that are meant to inspire us to be better. That message has almost been lost in the age of writers and fandoms being increasingly obsessed with focusing on flawed/grey characters who you can't look up to.

    The entire point of Superman is to be a genuine good person in a world where being good is seen as old-fashioned.
    And his movie adaptations and the stigma of people against him, proves why we need a character like this.
    Because through Darkness and Corruption, he is, alone, The Starman in The Sky.

    I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we've had our fill of evil/morally gray Superman (Snyderverse, Injustice, etc) and evil Superman clones (Bright burn, Homelander, Omni Man, etc.).
    World's full of too much pessimisim, we need the classic, benevolent Superman back.
