Superman was a character of total light and virtue. That is what the current movies and even comics don't get trying to make Superman dark and gritty.
They should have made him lighthearted purity in the movies - a totally different character to the current superheroes. And this would likely been much more successful - would have also jived well with Batman's darkness - also been far more jarring if he turned evil one day.
