Superman has a 9 to 5 job, lives in an apartment, gets snubbed by the girl he likes, and is constantly made fun of by one of his coworkers Batman, however, is a billionaire with a loyal butler, is able to adopt kids left and right with no questions asked, knows every language, every martial art, can outsmart literal gods, can have sex with any woman he wants, and is able to sleep in all day without risk of losing his job. And Superman is the unrelatable one.

People forget that Superman is less of a God amongst men and more of the embodiment of the idea of hope and Corage and Good. Good writers can give Superman a relatable character and consistent but a truly compelling writer can show people what Superman really is, an idea, an idea that everyone has the power to do good. He is the Story Of Superman after all, he is the Achetypal form of Heroism made Human. And has been for many Decades. I'm sad that people just don't know who Superman is and what he represents.

Superman has sooo many super-powers: at least 12. Supes rogue's gallery is very small at best. The last 4 Superman films have under-performed at the box-office,the last 2 had Reeves starring in them.

Superman films have a bad track record at the cinema.

That's not necessarily true. All of them grossed well, Batman Begins wasn't a monster hit either. The Dark knight and the dark knight rises where the ones that REALLY made the money. The Man of Steel and Superman returns made profits and did fairly well at the box office. Superman usually does fairly well. If a movie doesn't make more than half a billion or a billion doesn't mean it's not a success. Ya'll get to hype with these numbers. Batman Begins: grossed 370 million off a 150 million dollar budget. Superman Returns: earning $391.1 million worldwide on around $204 million budget. For the most part fairly close.

It showed me that even with all his power how hard he has to try to not go too far. How hard he has to restrain himself and how a weaker person wouldn't do that because it's easier/quicker. Sure I can't relate to the power Superman has but I can relate to that. That struggle to do the right thing to do it correct even if it's hard. Instead of taking the easy option that can hurt others or yourself. I don't know.

They are more likely to know Lois Lane, who constantly puts herself in danger for her scopes. Based off this, it'd be like asking New Yorkers who Jane Doe over on 15th is. Unless you run into those who know her, you're going to get weird looks or distrusting Nos. Clark Kent is only Superman because we, the audience, know. To an average Metropolis citizen, Superman is Superman; no secret identity.

The power level garbage went off the rails in the Namek Saga with being able to destroy whole planets, I was able to make it through the Cell Saga because I liked the Cyborgs and it was a nice throwback to the Red Ribbon original series arc and a handing over the torch moment for Gohan, but everything from Boo onwards bored me, Beerus included. Only exception is the new Broly movie, that one surprised me in a good way. Superman stories at least have no constantly increasing power level, though it of course fluctuates from writer to writer, like with every superhero ... I like him best when he outsmarts his opponents instead of using his god mode powers to simply pummel them into the ground, which is what DBZ onwards mostly boils down to and makes Goku a boring prodigy for me.

What is funny is that the op argument is very hypocritical because the same people who complain that Superman is too OP, they love characters who are just as or more OP and have beyond broken abilities. One of the big problems with Superman not getting the same amount of respect as Batman and Spider-Man is like you said there isn't enough Superman exposure. DC has a problem with using Batman way too much, that's a problem for other DC characters John Constantine had a show but it was canceled due to low audience and poor ratings. DC needs to show their more underrated characters and give them the spotlight for once.

Nobody can really say Superman's character is "outdated" when heroes and heroism itself isn't outdated. Characters like Captain America and Spiderman don't get called outdated characters despite having the similar sorts of morals and hopes as Superman... Hopeful heroic characters aren't outdated, no certain character archetype is outdated. It all depends on the execution and that can effect any character with their iterations. Superman just suffers the most because in all honesty he's not been focused on ever unless it's a vs match up. There's alot more focus on his powers than himself, which is very evident with many superman clones that are evil like Brightburn or Homelander that only have his powers. Adventures with Superman do a good job with the man and not just the powers. Superman is indeed a character that should be getting a game and more, like imagine instead of SSKTJL we had an Arkham Superman game.

[@tabaributler2225]

I always hoped we could get an Arkham-like Superman game where we could do multiple combos one the ground or the air with all the different powers at his disposal, heck they could probably incorporate some DMC/Bayonetta/GOW/Hulk: Ultimate Destruction elements to use and take inspiration from. Like I don't think many realize how much potential a Superman actually has, literally imagine DBZ Kakarot but with elements like those and Arkham included but for Superman, the possibility are freaking endless. Yet we get games like Suicide squad smh 🤦 😪 😒 😔.

He can’t push the building up because it’ll break due to the force, he isn’t fast enough to fly everyone out one by one. Cause if he does he’ll shatter glass which will hurt everyone. So what he does is that he goes to a waterbody nearby, flies really fast to make a water current big enough that it can act as support if frozen in ice, he uses freeze breath to freeze the water, and hopes that the structure holds up and it does cushion the building’s fall.

He's an alien with god-like powers, yet he's more human than most characters.

Thou i must say there is a place for a darker more anti-hero to anti villain esque superman however his classic take also has a place. Thou i dislike everything homelander esque, some people legit want him to be like homelander. and i always ask those people why? why do they want him to follow homelander who is a manchild, unstable, grapist and murderous.

Superman was always pretty relatable to me, especially in the Smallville tv series. I think people just don't like Superman because he's such a cliche superhero. But he has a lot of great stories and his personality is as iconic as his look and feats. I actually feel that Batman is kinda boring and over rated.

About Kill the Justice League Superman.While his idea to negotiate with Brainiac in the Skull ship is bad out of universe.In universe it does make sense.Brainiac is the first Alien theat doesn't immediately launch and attack on the city(there was at some point a mention of a Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth that the League stopped). Brainiac didn't start immediately start lasering everything in sight or sended his troops.What he did was open an communication channel and request a private meeting with the Justice League. And while Superman was for the idea that to go to the ship together, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash weren't convinced.Its only when John Stewart(Green Lantern) jumps in the conversation and convinces the others that even if Brainiac turns to be hostile,they can take him down together.

After reading superman these past few years, this is after a long history of not liking him and saying he is boring. I've learned that no one really knows superman but alot of people say and act like they do, its kinda rare for a person to actually understand the character. Most people like Zack Synder get obsessed with the super element which is honestly the least interesting and focused on element of superman ever any interesting story of superman always has to do with the man element of the character. Ive seen alot of how can anyone beat superman you cant find a interesting villain for him, but after reading all his villains are tailored specifically to counter superman in some way, the rare superman stories are usually the ones where he is just straight up punching some villain, most stories are him having to deal with some threat and using his head to get around them, while he is not always in danger him trying to save people is very important in the story. His personality is one of the most interesting elements, he is a big goody 2 shoes very nice guy farmboy and kinda a nerd, but with the most insane powers he isnt like "cool'. Ill never get how people think Goku is a interesting character and not realize Goku and superman are literally the same character, meaning the z era and super, the best part of superman is the wackyness of the story and to remove that element removes a big part of the character because its not meant to be taken so damn seriously, this is what the synder and the Brandon version of superman seemingly have forgotten and its why they kinda stink, superman is inherently silly and fun, the outlier for his character is the serious stuff and its why when he fights someone like zodd, mongol, brainiac, darkside, or doomsday those elements things stick out because they not the norm but when you make the not norm the norm it becomes not special. Plus idk what it is with synder but man let superman take battle damage that at least would make the fights interesting like the comics.
