Superman is boring because he is a god with one weakness, and his alter ego and personality are boring as heck.

You clearly have never read the right Superman comics. Superman is a refugee who has to hide his identity from the general public for fear of his abilities being exploited. He puts on the bumbling reporter act as a means to fit in with people. Yes, we laugh at how no one actually recognizes the two as being the same person, but tell me honestly, would you really be looking at the details of every single person you were to meet to see if they looked like a super hero you saw on TV?

Also, if you think it is really that simple to instantly recognize someone like that, take a look at this:



Another thing is that while Superman may have god-like powers, he always has to hold himself back because everyone around him is like glass. If he loses control, he could accidentally kill someone. Are you seriously telling me that doesn't make him interesting? It's not about his invulnerabilities, it's about him being unable to use them under a personal restraint.

I'll never forget how irritated I was when they decided at the end of Man of Steel to make him be a reporter at the Daily Planet, because not only is it unrealistic that no one recognizes him, but it's also so much more boring than the wanderer he was for most of the film.

Unrealistic? It's a god damn comic book movie! Plus, he works for the Daily Planet in the comics, so he has to in the movies.
