I'm not a big DC fan

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not a big DC fan and haven't really seen any Superman movies. I don't really like the concept of his character as he's basically perfect and his only flaw is something that you can't actually blame him for.

It's not like I don't think a writer could do something interesting with him, but I do think it would be difficult.

I'm in the fandom for Marvel movies and have only seen Captain America in the movies but, God, I absolutely adore him as a character. He's not a 'flaw heavy' character but at least he has the fact he's a bit socially awkward and selfless to the point of hurting himself. He's a bit idealized, but its pulled off well.

I also really like Iron Man as well, but for different reasons

Superman isn't necessarily 'perfect' though, considering at heart he will always be the uncool, bumbling Kansas farm boy.

I think part of the reason that idealization works so well with Steve is that there isn't some set of ideals that he just miraculously matches up to - he/his character is old enough that he is the ideal, the original standard that the ideals were built on. And he doesn't always live up to them, even if he mostly does, which creates its own conflict while still preserving him and his character.

While I'm basing this off heresay, from what I've gathered Superman is seen as a 'broken' hero - he is too perfect (and/or too powerful), so it gets difficult to create engaging conflict while still keeping him in-character and consistent with the previously established power levels. It's certainly not impossible, but it is very difficult and apparently it shows with many or most of the writers that end up writing for Superman.
