Superman review: There's nothing super about this reboot

I always found supes to be the least interesting part of Superman.
He has always been a problem due to the busted power curve he created. In order to challenge Superman, you need villains with his level of power. Lux Luther notwithstanding.
The best Superman arc I remember reading as a youth was when he was fighting Lobo, who basically was the same power level as him.
