I'd argue that Superman is boring regardless of the media.

Movies? OP he will win minimal effort.
Cartoons? Same.
Comics? Blew away a solar system, tanks Kryptonite, etc etc
Video Games? There's a reason why developers don't even bother with him.

You just haven't read the right stories. His strength can really be an asset if you look at it from a different angle:

I would definitely check out Superman and Lois on the CW/HBO Max. It's a nice proper take on Superman. It's technically Arrowverse-related but requires no prior viewing of any other Arrowverse shows and is both tonally and stylistically different than the rest of CWs stuff.
Superman and Lois is definitely my favorite live action version of Superman. He's so good.

They need to just start over. Only one worth keeping is Wonder Woman.

Aquaman and Shazam are okay too. And Peacemaker.

That's a cool panel. I still think he's boring but I'm open to suggestions.

He's kinda like One Punch Man without the gimmick.

That panel is from Hitman #34. It's a one-issue story that's basically just a rooftop conversation.

In terms of other superman stories that take advantage of his strength in the right ways, there's All-Star Superman, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, and Kingdom Come.

The secret isn't putting him against someone equally strong, but putting him into situations where raw strength isn't going to help him anyway.

It's why the classic way that Pa Kent died is so fitting and the way Man of Steel did it is dumb as fuck

I recommended All-Star Superman (even though it's not the BEST comic for someone new to superman comics) in part because some of the best parts revolve around Clark and his dad.

Why would they fuck Henry Cavill like that

Because he cost them millions of dollars over a mustache.

It was WB's fault. They called him back for reshoots when he was working for another movie -- in which he was under obligation to keep the mustache -- but that's not going to stop them from blaming him for them having to spend millions on CGI to remove it digitally.

That's a misinterpreted statement. The movies are going to be more solo focus but they still share the continuity. Exceptions for things like Joker and such.

Basically phase 1 marvel pre avengers.

And The Batman.

Which is probably going to end up being their upcoming biggest DC franchise anyway.

Which makes you wonder what the point of a cinematic universe even is at this point. Phase 1 Marvel build up to The Avengers. There's nothing being built up to here. Miller is gonna get dumped after Flashpoint so there will go another one. So that leaves Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl and Batman Keaton. Doubt that's gonna go anywhere either.

BTW isn't there supposed to be a Ta-Nihisi Coates written Black Superman movie in the works? Would be another reason they might have done this. Maybe they want the Black Superman to be the only movie Superman.

Also Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey. And Shazam. And possibly Black Adam.

The upcoming Black (Clark Kent) Superman film is going to go very badly.

Literally erasing a White superhero from existence to make room for a replacement of another ethnic group is the absolute worst way possible to handle diversity and inclusion. They'd be better off to give Clark Kent a hero's death and introduce Calvin Ellis as a successor.

I thought the Michael B Jordan wasn't going to be a movie it was going to be a HBO Max thing. Did that change?

I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it as a six-part miniseries with the second installment receiving a theatrical release. Warner Bros. is absolutely drunk at the wheel.

This is what happens when a company is to greedy and stupid to follow the proven blueprint of how the MCU came together.

They have all the pieces to make it work but instead of following the slow road to money and success they want to skip important steps for fast money and to no ones shock or surprise they are failing hard.

They need to get rid of any actor where the part has a CW actor also playing the part. Make the CW and DCEU universes the same. Keep Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, Suicide Squad, and use Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, etc. since they've already established those characters. If they want to move Flash and Supergirl to movies, keep the CW actors, even if they reset the continuity.

I dunno I think part of why the CW shit works is that they aren't limited to 2-3 hour blocks. The biggest complaint people had with DCEU shit is that it was rushed to catch up with Marvel and it shows.
