[quote name='2poor']i think superman is a pretty lame concept. he has every super power. it just makes him boring.
batmans cool because he kicks so much ass without any powers.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but I think you should get deeper in the mythos.
I mean, kryptonite f's him up pretty bad, and if I'm not wrong so does fire.
Anyway, he was originally supposed to be a villan ala the American moralistic interpretation of Nietzchie's uberman back in the early century - destroying outdated moral codes with his own vision through his will to power (and several other powers as well)
Eventually the concept was Americanized, and interestingly in the Smallville show I think that Lex Luthor acts like the ubermensch, when he isn't acting like a lunatic or bowing to the will of his father.
