Even if this is a bit, I am quite exhausted with all these freaking dweebs thinking the best way to modernize Superman is to try and make him some weird sky tyrant
Have him go after a bald billionaire who's trying to sell robots to InterGang, then have him toss a crooked landlord into the back of a garbage truck
As much as I hate Man of Steel and what Snyder did...there really was a golden nugget of an idea in that whole enterprise about treating Superman as more of an Alien invasion story than as straight superhero movie.
I actually think you could do a really solid Climate change and anti capitalism allegory origin with Superman today. The framework is seriously all there. Jor-El and his guild warning the rich bougiesie about the impending collapse of Krypton for decades while they keep on plowing forward into their own doom. Kal-El being sent to earth to show them a better way. Even the whole imagery of the Kent farm has an opportunity if it gets bought out at some point. You can really reinvent this character in a big way while going all the way back to his roots at the same time.

Take him back to his roots where he was just a strong guy who tormented rich bastards.
