@sanohibiki: The "glorified moral standard Superman" is the core of his character mate. If you don't like that, maybe Superman isn't for you. The depiction of him in the New 52 hasn't met a lot of fans standards as shown in Saren's wonderful analysis. It isn't restrictive to show Superman as having an unshakeable moral compass and it isn't damaging to demonstrate that he's a symbol for a better tomorrow. All those claims are erroneous, fallacious and miss the symbolic goodness Superman represents in both fictional and real mediums. That's why Pre New 52 and All Star>New 52 because they get what Superman is about. New 52 Superman still has a long way to go before he's at that kind of standard. Thus New 52 isn't the most organic blend at all, it's "a brash kid who was just a little arrogant and a little bit of a jerk while having his heart in the right place, without realizing that that was never intended to be some dogmatic status quo for all eternity."
