Eh. I've always felt that story worked better for Martian Manhunter than it did for Superman - in part because Superman has always felt much more at home in the human world to me than J'onn J'onzz does (compare the way they present themselves to the world - Superman is an impossibly perfect, handsome human specimen, Manhunter is a weird green freak. compare their jobs - I mean, I think the concept of feeling like an outcast/exile/stranger has always been a huge part of the topos of the private eye, even when the private eye is not actually an alien, whereas I would argue that being a newspaper reporter is much more integrated into human society. and ofc compare their personal relationships to humans).

So it never really rang true for me to think of Superman as a melancholy alien because that's not really the way he's presented, in comparison to Manhunter. And in a lot of ways, the two characters are extremely similar in their origin and concept, so the contrast between that element is all the more striking.
