Idk, I guess I just didn't get that vibe from Man of Steel. The movie's tone was definitely darker and it employed muted colors, but I didn't get those vibes from Superman himself.

Not to mention, you really can strip those traits and he's still awesome. I'd point to the Injustice run for proof. He went full-on planet Earth despot and that was great.

Generally I'd agree, though. He's a moral character and it works best to lean on that. He's the shining beacon of hope in the DC universe.
