He really needs a Thor Ragnarok style adventure that he is built for to shake up perceptions while being true to the character to show how versatile he is. I definitely wouldn't advocate for an entire movie series removed from Earth (and I think Lois and Jimmy have gotten up to plenty of weird stuff that there is precedent for them getting involved even in a more cosmic, "out there" adventure), but allowing at least one story to exist as such would be a breath of fresh air for cinematic Superman. Or, if we're doing a more grounded "Champion of the Oppressed" story, look to the Golden Age or early New 52 for inspiration. Just give the guy a shake up instead of relying on the same old elements over and over again.
