I disagree. There are many intresting portrayals of Superman:
Bruce Timm's DC Animated Universe had a very textured portrayal. I especially loved the episode where Clark Kent "died" in a car wreck and the episodes where Superman finally lets himself go and unload his frustration on Darkseid.
The 'elseworlds' comic series "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Kingdom Come" both have some intresting philosophical and physical conflicts between Superman and Batman.
As for Superman being to powerful to be intresting (I know that's not what you said, Gillianren. I just want to make a point), the argument that powerful characters can be intresting is exactly what motivated Neil Gaiman to create Dream and the other Endless- beings whom the gods fear- in what is widely regarded as the best comic series ever,
Sandman.
