He started balancing out a bit more as time went on, his soul doing its best to repair itself the best it could, hence why he's more, well, Superman now than he ever was since around Identity Crisis to before Flashpoint. But its still just a rough cut and paste job, he's still incomplete regardless. Or maybe its not even that. Maybe the more subtle changes to him recently, his more take charge attitude, an increased level of confidence and a more complete embracing of who he is beyond his human side, is attributed to New 52 Superman, in his current state, is actually trying to attach itself to him already without him knowing it, helping him along.
