A rebuttle to all four of those:
Okay so I haven't watched/read everything you listed.
But I've watched TAS, and it is a cartoon so you don't expect it to be realistic but even when I watched it as a kid, it would annoy me to see SuperMan get his ass kicked but still beat the bad guy without the help of an additional variable, he defeated with his own physical powers?
Which always leads to the question, why was he getting beaten up in the 1st place.
Even Sup Returns had the same problem. He had a piece of Kryptonite lodged in him, and he was fighting on an entire island made of kryptonite. He carried the kryptonite off the planet and then he collapses.
The worst part of Superman is that he has great villains like Brainiac, and Lex Luthor that are supposed to be the most intellegent beings in the universe, yet in order for them to be thwarted by SuperMan they have to act in the most stupidest ways.
Why the fuck am I even writing this, the whole premise off a show is that all he has to do to bring out his alter ego is change his hair style and put on glasses?
How stupid is that?
In this day and age even a Mask can't hide your identity. Your DNA is a trail, ever seen an episode of CSI. That is the cool thing about BatMan any character in his universe with half a brain can put 2 and 2 together and figure out his identity.
See through the whole Bruce Wayne playboy thing, Raj al Ghul simply applied the basic logic of finances and figured out his identity in TAS.
Gordon knows his identity from day 1, but just plays along with him as evident in several episodes of TAS.
Superman... yarg pisses me off
