Which is the best interpretation of Superman? Does he work best as an average man working hard to do the right thing? Or as a moral paragon meant to guide humanity into a brighter tomorrow?

He's both.
Superman as a symbol is different from Superman as a man.
Like any famous figure, really. They may inspire millions, but at the end of the day they're just a person trying their best, they put their red trunks on one leg at a time.

My favorite will always be DCAU Superman, IMO he was a well rounded version of the character. He wasn't moralistically corny, but his idealism was strong enough that it could be used against him if he wasn't careful. Every once in a while he needed to get taken down a peg.

Man of Steel Superman was my favorite. A man learns he's from space, learns why and chooses to be a symbol of good.

I don't understand why the picked him to make a Superman movie and not a Batman remake or one of the many other comic book heros who would've fit his style perfectly (or, at all.)
He's a hack filmmaker but he could've been beloved if Man of Steel where Joker or even a Martian Manhunter movie.

Yeah, but Clark was mostly a normal kid with super-powers that could stop fucking up, this even when he tried to do good. I love Smallville, but i know many Superman fans don't like this interpretation of the character.

Actual comics fans are like .0000000001% of movie audiences. No one gives a shit what they think. Superman is one of the most recognized characters in the world, but most people have no idea what's in the actual comics. They just see him as a symbol of hope and goodness.

And Superman fans complain about the DCAU Superman as if it was a sin against everything that is prim and proper. They also complain somewhat about Smallville.

Go to comic forums to see them literally calling Bruce Timm and Paul Dini cunts and saying that they knew nothing about the character and hated Superman.

Christopher Reeve has his charisma and coyness. His magnetism has never been so powerful. Even in his flaws, he draws you in.

Golden Age has his passion tho. He was completely raw and unrelenting in how much he wanted to beat the bad guy, yet still makes time to save a suicidal woman. I can’t find the scan of it tho. Does somebody have it?

That you think those are mutually exclusive is pretty telling. And it's why many Hollywood types simply fail to grasp Superman. They can't understand a man that has all the power in the world and decides to work both a blue collar and white collor job as well as being a superhero. Working the land and being his own boss and then going to a job that involves working with people to learn and disseminate the truth, and having a hard ass boss and schedule while having to (mostly) work at our speed.

He leads us into a brighter tomorrow by showing us the value of showing up to work every day, by being optimistic yet truthful and honest, by being strong enough to not give in to anger or resentment.

A man who works hard to uphold the image of a paragon that his reputation has molded his superhero persona into, relying on the wisdom of not just his birth parents, but those who raised him as their own. Someone who believes in doing the right thing while respecting the laws of those around him, except when those laws prevent evil men from facing justice, and allow innocents to die.

Put simply, he is a Paladin who will choose to do good over upholding the law, and is seen as a hero of the people.

I know, i know. I'm just saying all this because sometimes Superman fans get on my nerves, despite i loving the character.

I love the Donner's movies despite some stuffs, i love the DCAU cartoons, i love Smallville, i loved the Clark and Lois TV show, and so on... but if pressed i'd say that i'm actually a fan of Clark Kent, not Superman. Certain DC writers and Superman fans have actually managed to dislike Superman a bit. You know, certain views and takes on the character. But Clark Kent? I will always love that guy. I think that any movie they make about Superman should first and foremost focus on Clark Kent before anything else.

DC doesn't keep anyone in check, that's the problem. They've been under the delusion that they house "auteurs" or some shit since the 80s.

Gen Xers have far too many daddy issues to understand most capes and they're in charge.
