To be honest, whereas Clark's heyday was before the '90s (he's had two movies and TV shows since, respectively), in that same time Bruce has had six movies and all but one of those animated series that I can recall, and almost all those games are from that time period.
If your argument is that Bruce and Clark get better treatment than the rest, sure, you're correct, but the margin between those two itself is pretty staggering.
Vordan's argument is that their interest in Superman has largely become to keep the rights to him and the occasional lower-budget fart that we have to pray is good. He doesn't get second chances so much as WB get second chances to retain him from going public domain. They don't want to make Superman stuff, but they want other people making Superman stuff even less. That's how it comes across.
It's a crime that WB (now AT&T) has underserved their library of characters for so long, but that doesn't mean just because they once treated Superman the best that it really translates to a lot now.
