No that's exactly what I mean, it was the best adaption possible but didn't come close the the impact and quality of the original. Not everything needs a movie adaption, and Snyder's movie proved Watchmen didn't

John's Secret Origin is the weakest entry in Geoff John's actually pretty stellar run on Superman. Braniac, Last Son, and Superman and the Legion of Superheroes are stories that range from solid to great, but my personal favorite is Up, Up and Away, it gave us a much needed Clark Kent focus. That end fight with Luthor…

To be fair I believe in nearly every continuity he is the last son born on Krypton

Yeah but I hate when they dwell on that, he doesn't identify as Kal-El from Krypton (in most comics) but as Clark Kent from Smallville. People keep saying he'd be much more interesting as an alien from a dead world who's alone in the world but that character already exists in Martian Manhunter

Finally someone who agrees. Complexity doesn't have to come from grand tragedy. You don't have to have DEAD PARREEEENTS or be an alcoholic asshole to be an interesting character. Superman's humble and nice, that doesn't make him perfect. I could bring up All-star, Up Up and Away, For All Seasons, Kingdom Come where…

So incredibly disappointing, my love for Superman runs deep in my veins and if this movie drops the genuine and lovable cheese of Big Blue count me out. You could rattle off dozens of superheroes that are "aliens, alone in the world" but there's only one Kansas farm boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Superman hating jews? Nobody tell Siegel and Shuster

While I enjoy the story of Watchmen, it's really the incredibly way Moore frames the story that makes it memorable. The movie lost all the complexity of Moore's comic book story telling tricks because movies are an entirely different medium. It was a faithful adaption that missed the point
