Personally I always like Superman in similar vain I like Captain America - a type of simple man living in complicated world. Now mind you, I like Supes for being the personification of heroism and all that but not without his flaws. As for movies, I do think they took it tad too far. If there is any representation of Superman that I like the most, it would be Superman from DCAU such like seen in Superman TAS or Justic League cartoons. I think that's best Superman representation outside comic books.
