Often you'll see that people who don't like Superman will cite the reason that he's too powerful and thus he's never in any real danger, and that's why it's hard to craft a movie around him.
For one, EVERY superhero is equally as powerful as Superman in their own given set of circumstances. Batman is so powerful that's he's actually able to BEAT Superman! Dr. Strange is so powerful that he could defeat the main bad guy by forcing him into an endless time loop! What's messing with that???
The fact is if you put Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Dr. Strange, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Black Panther, Black Widow... or pretty much any superhero character you could name... in a room against 20 random goons... their odds of survival are the same as Superman's which is 1000%.
Second, the drama with Superman doesn't just stem from the character's own predicament but rather someone ELSE'S predicament. The question going into a Superman adventure isn't always 'Will Superman survive?' A lot of the time the question going in is 'Will Superman save the day?"... or "Can Superman rescue ____". What separates Superman from most other characters is that his greatest enemy is actually peril itself.
When someone behind the camera figures that out, I think that's when the Superman franchise can get back down to business.

'Superman is too overpowered'... is a MYTH
