I do in fact find all of the following to make Superman stories less interesting - he's too powerful - he lacks personal epic tragedy - his morality is too "goody two shoes" That's how I've always felt. I feel like the defensive dismissing of people who agree is a little rude

Superman is a massive victim of "power creep", thanks to being the central superhero for whom the genre is named It's also because Captain Marvel got sued by DC and they ended up getting Captain Marvel writers to write for Superman, giving him more "magic" powers

But yeah you can tell if you think of the old taglines he used to have in the old days He could "leap tall buildings in a single bound" because he wasn't actually capable of self directed flight yet

Anyway even stuff like the costume made more sense if you think back to the era he was introduced in The tights and the cape are the uniform of a circus performer, Superman is imagining a circus strongman act in real life
