Superman has too many weakness in my opinion -- Kryptonite, Magic (Only works on supes, doesn't work if there is a crisis), Red Sun, and not to mention enemies that are strong enough to physically do harm without cheap nonsense. It's becoming ridiculous and I'm wondering if DC will ever notice that it's not the battles/fights that should hold the tension (He should always win a fight - Supes is overpowered? That's the POINT) but situations that leads to compromising morality.
Writers fail to make Superman live up to his legend/myth in stories. DC 1 Million did a good job of almost doing Superman justice that way, instead of making Superman deal with petty things like muggers and low level villains or Luthor. Superman needs to be GALACTIC and adventurous. The tension should come from questioning his morality, being wordshipped, solving a space mystery or something and not so much whose he's battling. When he does have to pluck someone there should be no question who wins. He's like a big brother that can beat up everyone!
Instead he's written to play Watson to Batman's Sherlock and then to further insult matters, lose to Batman in a fight.
If I didn't read Superman, I'd have no respect for him either.
