Finally, someone who understands that Superman is not gritty.

I don’t mean this in a patronizing way, but Superman works best when he’s for the children. He’s basically a god, and while flawed gods can be interesting, I just don’t think it works for Superman. So give me a Superman for kids, a Boy Scout in a world that’s a little goofy and a little weird, and I’ll be happy. This looks like it checks those boxes.

He has the power of a god yet chooses to do good and fight evil. It's why Schuster and Siegel had the messiah in mind when creating him.
