Instead, this sounds more like they're making him a persecuted man on the run. This is the problem with Superman, after all - he's not much of a character; a description of his personality reads like the Boy Scout Law ("Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly," and all that.) It would take a really talented writer to be able to hold on to the natural duality and alien-ness of the character, preserve his bold heroics and unwavering sense of morality, and make him interesting to watch. It's possible to do (see Captain America), but Zack Snyder just isn't that good. Instead, he's been doing all he can, mostly by adding angst (including the same kind of Daddy Issues that are making the current Spider-Man movies so awful), shooting the budget up to the moon, and now apparently a writing in a burgeoning persecution complex. If they indeed do go this route, it would make him into what amounts to an X-Man, or the Bill Bixby 70's Hulk.

So it sounds interesting, but it doesn't really sound like Superman.

It's more like Millar's Red Son continuity. If it gets down to fear of power.
