All of the above, I think. But mainly a "mindset change" is needed.
Agreed.
Btw, lately, there were multiple attempts to re-empathizing a little more the Superman/Kal side, having Clark growing up as an outsider or dealing with xenophobia after he reveals himself to the world publicly. Also, many modern writers claim he's equally both Clark and Superman or Kal. Clearly, there's a new found awareness that he should be more than "just Clark" even if, on paper, the character still lack a proper balance.
The current management, more or less, looks for concepts that are more easy to translate into other media. Just ask in the Wally West thread. 😥Honestly, one can only hope. Maybe what they need to do is an audience message testing to get a sense of what the general audience want to see/responds to. That isn't evident in the subset of people who make noise on certain Social Media sites. They could survey the general population through surveys and polls, targeting diverse groups on various platforms. Maybe something like this will help TPTB to get a better sense of how to reach a larger more diverse audience. I'm not sure how they normally come about their decisions to take certain directions, and while yes, you can never satisfy everybody, at least you have a better chance of not losing more people than you're reaching I would think. 🤷🏾
