this is probably why I'm not that interested in the Superman movie, because I've never really found Superman that interesting as a character.
I have to admit, he's not one of my favorites either. It's really hard to make someone who's such a near-omnipotent Boy Scout interesting. And yet, I'm still wildly curious to see the new film... Maybe it's because I'm hoping against hope that if Bryan Singer had to ruin one superhero franchise for us (by leaving it), then maybe we'll at least get another good one out of it.
My favorite superhero character is, of course, Spider-Man. And was even before the movies came along, which is probably why I was so deliriously happy over them (especially the second one) - it was probably more relief than anything else, that they hadn't fucked it up.
