A thread for your controversial and unpopular views on Superman where other posters are free to debate those views.

Some of mine off the top of my head:

Superman's portrayal in The Dark Knight Returns is actually better and more in character than his portrayal in Kingdom Come. In DKR, Superman is forced into a difficult position but still tries to save lives, whilst in Kingdom Come he quits because the public supports killing a mass murderer. Superman quitting because public opinion goes against him seems very un-Superman like to me. DKR's main sin here seems to be Superman's emasculation, which doesn't make it a bad portrayal.

Superman shouldn't be more powerful than the rest of the JL except Batman. The 6 founders should all have equal levels of power. And there should be much less contrived fights between heroes.

Darkseid should never be considered a Superman villain.

For Tomorrow was a good story.

Silver Age inspired sci fi stories should be the template of the franchise.

Clark quitting the Daily Planet was a great idea and should have been used more.
