For Speeding Bullets: I like the premise, wasn’t so much a fan of the execution. One thing I find annoying about these old school Elseworld series is so many times they just ended up feeding back into the status quo. Like Superman, Inc where Supes ends up with the Kents, adopts a “Clark Kent” disguise, and goes to journalism school to have Lois teach him. That’s super lame, and I didn’t like how Speeding Bullets ended up having “Bruce” become Superman at the end either. I’d want to see him reject that option and commit himself to being Batman. It’s an Elseworld, this is your chance to go nuts and take these characters in any direction.
Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow
Morrison's Action Run
Birthright
Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday by Maggin
I'd add more but most of them have already been listed.

"So as I pray, Unlimited Pak Works!"
Yup. I read the general premise and thought it would be the same DCU, except Superman would be found by the Waynes. Nope, it pretty much is that PLUS all these other elements of Superman and Batman's universe merge, such as the Luthor/Joker hybrid. I mean, what's the point if you start out with what if everything is different, but by the end everything arrives at the same conclusion?
Maybe it's just as well. If "Bruce Wayne" pretty much had Kryptonian powers, he'd clean up Gotham a lot more easily.
Maybe in the future when Disney owns WB, we'll finally get that JL/Avengers crossover.
I actually think True Brit would make for a very, very funny DC Showcase short. Go full farce with it. The script would need some abridging and likely loose adaption, but the potential is solid.
Not explicitly Superman, but The Justice Riders is too cool an idea not to be reused.
Legends
Panic In The Sky
Final Crisis + Superman Beyond
Justice League International - When Supes was leading the team pre-Death of Superman.
JLA World War III - JL + New Gods vs Mageddon
Super Sons would work much better as its own thing.
And no, NOT a CW series. It would be a great animated series though.
JLA Hitman, incl the Hitman/Superman one shot
Grant Morrison's Action Comics Run, New Super-Man, Superman Smashes the Klan obviously, and redo Man of Tomorrow but follow the American Aliens story much more closely.
I'm not really the audience for animation but "Superman's Mission to Mars" - ACTION COMICS #14 by Morrison/Morales would be really cool. It would need an actual budget behind it, no thanks on the cheap looking stuff they usually put out.
"Eight Arms of Conquest!" - DC COMICS PRESENTS #48 would be great too. Superman/Aquaman team up.
Lots of Bronze Age stuff.
