A lot of people don't like the invulnerable Boy Scout deal, but if you focus on the positives, he's pretty dope.
He definitely benefits from getting his interposal relationships right as well as a strong villain. That's true for basically all superheroes except Spider-Man and Batman, though, so I won't hold that against him.

The issue though is, if you take away what Superman is, you destroy him as a character. Him being moral and the boy scout is who he is, he does the right thing, if you make him this dark brooding dude who's mad about what happened to him and his dad etc...then he just becomes a Batman offshoot.
