  They need to make Superman‘s personality similar to a normal guy. He likes barbecue. He keeps up with basketball. He visits his parents. He makes corny jokes. They need to inject more personality into the character because what makes him so compelling is when he’s forced to really be the super part of himself you really don’t want to see that guy. Take notes from the DC animated universe.

  Comparing Superman to Jesus means the writers don&apos;t understand Clark Kent. Superman is nothing without Clark. He is not an alien. Clark can be literally anything with his powers but chooses to be a hero because of Johnathan and Martha Kent. Humans inspire Clark as much as Superman inspires them.

  The fact that Lex Luthor could not Fathom that Superman is Clark Kent, a down to earth normal guy should be telling. Superman at his core is a regular guy with a massive heart. It&apos;s how he and batman can be best friends

  You know I love this scene in the cartoons, where Clark takes J&apos;onn (aka Martian Manhunter) home for christmas.<br>And he acts so normal, like a normal human, and this isn&apos;t a facade he puts up. When asked about this side he just says:&quot;That&apos;s why I like coming home for the holidays, I can just be myself.&quot;<br>He isn&apos;t saying &quot;someone else&quot; he says himself.<br>And later on when the Kents are like &quot;Oh yea we wrapped his presents in lead foil so he couldn&apos;t see through&quot;, he just is like a child and is &quot;You mean Santa did it&quot; and Martha just goes &quot;Oh sure honey.&quot;<br>This scene is so great to me, it shows that Superman doesn&apos;t put on the Clark mask, Clark puts on the Superman mask. It humanizes him. And also the Kents haven&apos;t taken in Superman, because they had to, because they saw a message from Jor-El when the ship crashed saying: &quot;This boy is the savior of humanity, raise him well&quot;, they just took him in, cared for him dearly and that&apos;s why he turned out this way. Not because of a predestined path he had to follow.

  Personally, what I find interesting about Superman, is that he has all this power and fame, and yet he doesn&apos;t use it. Superman can work in a darker world, as long as he is the light in a world of darkness.

  What makes Superman so beloved and good is that at his core, he isn’t above us mere mortals. He’s “just a guy from a small town trying to do the right thing “

  As many others have pointed out before, imo, Superman is at his best when he&apos;s human. When the story plays into his emotions and not into his &quot;I&apos;m literally a god&quot; side of him, that&apos;s when we get the truly fantastic and heartfelt stories

  Makes me excited that James Gunn has cast a David Corenswet (a Jewish actor) to play Superman! He does a lot of research for the characters and he’s a big fan of Superman so I have a feeling Superman: Legacy will lean more into the Moses aspect or at least remain true to the original character in some regard

  Surprisingly, the CW show Superman and Lois actually does a great job of portraying Clark as human rather than an alien or a godly entity. He has his faults, he gets angry, sad, he spends time with his family, he has his ups and downs, and he strives to be better with each problem he faces.

  A Reddit comment I saw today said the perfect Superman adaptation would be like Paddington with superpowers. He doesn&apos;t have much of a character arc himself, but makes the lives of those around him better.

  A superman movie set in the 40s how the character was originally written would be super interesting
