Cast an American

He should be a journalist the government keeps trying to kill.

wasn't old enough to fully appreciate the death of his parents and the destruction of his planet, he has never struggled, he is boring.

Only Superman comic I remember liking was when he lost his super powers and had to fight brutally.

He has to be on his back foot and struggling against a threat. He can be sort of interesting but there is a hard limit due to his premise.

but it wont reflect reality, journalist work for the government

You don't. You make a great film about his villain and his struggle to stop and unstoppable force that nobody else recognizes as a kid playing god.

Mimic those old silver age comics like the one where he’s making Jimmy fight batman for water. Just make him a full on schizo.

He is not supposed to be interesting. You have to make things around him interesting.

they're doing it on CW

you did in MoS, make MoS2

Red Son is true kino.

>conneted to clinton
>clinton=government
that's a pretty high iq response user.

The best Superman stories all focus on his inability to be truly perfect and raise a philosophical issue or some moral quandary he can’t get out of. They’re personal and not about him punching some and guy. Superman fights are ultimately boring because he’s invincible but no capeshit movie will ever not be action heavy.

give him an opioid addiction.

He just needs better villains to fight.
No offense to Zod and Lex, but been there done that. And those villains aren't coming from Superman lore. Sorry, Mtxy.

By making him human. Relatable. Superman is interesting because he can't be himself around people. He feels like he's constantly walking on eggshells around people because he is constantly under threat of being recognized and his only defense is being a boring schlub that nobody really gives a shit about. Clark has very few friends. He leads a pretty mediocre life because he HAS to if he wants to stay Superman. His desire to connect with people is constantly at odds with his desire to help people. If he was just Clark, people would die who he KNOWS he could save, and if he was just Superman then he wouldn't be anything but a celebrity, and it would taint every relationship that he's in, and his enemies would undoubtably threaten those close to him.
It's not that complex I really don't understand why people think it's so difficult.

That's actually a definitely interesting swerve, user. Nice one. Lots of ways to go with that where he has to be extremely careful of being caught being Superman.

He should be a self-made billionaire instead of journalist (he is supposed to be an ultramegagiga supergenius) and have a Maverick-esque persona as Superman that clashes with his more paternal and stern Calrk Kent attitude. He should act as Earth's guardian and tell other Xenos to fuck off while also taking down everything from mad scientists to power hungry dictators when they get too uppity. Make it a clear case that he's a godlike being genuinely struggling with holding himself to certain rules and codes. Also, make him a Chad who fucks and breeds someone like Maxima instead of running after a whore like Lois Lane.

Just make him the ultimate sci-fi/space fantasy power fantasy.
