I just think he's OP in a way that either makes challenges impossible to take seriously or cheesy when the writer godhammers them into the narrative. Also, as a character I think he's really boring (there might be some meat in exploring the psychological ramifications of effectively being a living god on a planet full of needy humans but I seriously doubt we'll ever see a serious exploration of that).

The only time watching Superman on tv was fun, was Smallville. Because then he wasn't godlike and shit actually presented challenges to him. (and Choloe was hot, and Lex Luthor was awesome)

Guys this isn't politics. I'm actually willing to entertain the possibility that I might be wrong here.
Yeah I've only seen a couple episodes of smallville so I couldn't comment. The last Superman thing I saw was Returns where they took his one weakness and
made a whole fucking continent out of itAND THEN HE LIFTED IT UP AND THREW IT INTO THE FUCKING SUN.A WHOLE CONTINENT. FUCK YOU, SUPERMAN.
I'm a Cavill fan, but did you see Immortals? I don't trust Cavill carte blanche anymore because of that turd.
For Honor! For Cheetos! For My Honda Civic! For Your Honda Civic!

"Hey did you see that picture of dude in tights? I'm now 100% confident he's the next Harrison Ford!"
I'd say 99.9% of the problem with Immortals was the writing. That script was a disaster, and I doubt there is a actor alive today that could of made it better. A shit movie is a shit movie regardless of who the lead is. Just look at any of the big names that Uwe Boll somehow managed to con into his movies.
I know Cavill has the acting chops to pull off a great Superman. We just have to hope the movie itself isn't weapons-grade ass.
what...the...fuck ?
back in the day when he regen from complete incineration down to the skeleton i thought it was fucking retarded. I see they went a step beyond that. Next step? every single hair he has cut or drop of blood he lost during combat regens to form a whole Logan ?

I was tired of and hated the Wolverine character back in the late 80's when the whole brooding anti-hero thing became incredibly popular. I like Wolverine much better back in Uncanny X-Men #94 to about #136.

Well, to be fair I can't find the scene I was thinking of, where I'm almost certain he was virtually disintegrated (and I could be misremembering), but how about ground zero of a nuclear bomb? No adamantium to hold him together either. (From Logan #2, 2008)
