What?
Superman sucks. He's boring: he can do anything and everything but his weakness is a rock? What a homo. Everyone in the story is a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow: Clark always disappears when Superman comes around, I wonder who he is! At least Peter Parker has a good excuse "haha I took pictures of Spiderman! How can I be Spiderman?" Not to mention he only really takes his glasses off and puts on tights. Clark Kent is a fucking boring character in general. Oh wow, a journalist, who is completely shallow and never really has an interesting life or tale. Spiderman is popular because the average person can relate; he's not some rich shmuck. He's just a guy who's trying to get by and has completely wasted his potential who can't seem to ever satisfy his family. He's no Batman, who doesn't give a fuck about anyone, and does things his way and is ALWAYS interesting and badass.
Superman and Clark Kent are devoid of any personality whatsoever. I haven't seen Superman Returns yet, but I assume it sucks because it has Superman in the title.
The only Superman related things I ever liked, were the awesome WB cartoon, any Justice League cartoon, and those 1930's Fleischer cartoons, SOMETIMES the 1990's serial drama on ABC Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman.

Superman sucks ass is and is by far the worst mainstream superhero. The only character who's remotely close, but still quite far away is Gambit.
