Honestly, I have not really enjoyed a single Superman movie when he is on his own. That goes for the 5 live action movies and the three animated ones (Braniac Attacks, vs Doomsday, and All-Star). Superman can work in a 20 minute episode, but for the most part, he needs to have a great supporting cast of other heroes to be interesting. I have never really enjoyed his own comic series either. I just find his own persona to be dull and boring. He is too much of a goody good to be interesting, which blows, because someone of his stature should be an interesting character. I guess it could be that I just find heroes who are 100% good to be uninspiring characters because they can never be tempted by evil at all. I guess that is one of the reasons I enjoy his battles with Darkseid, as Darkseid seems to be the only one who can bring out a darker side to Superman.
