What makes your perfect Superman? I know for most here Chris Reeve is your ideal Superman, but please let's be a bit creative here. Let's treat this like a recipe.
Think of all your favorite Superman versions/interpretations from all media and mix your most favorite ones to make your truly ideal Superman.
For instance an ideal Superman for someone could be: 3 parts Justice League Superman voiced by Daly, 2 parts Chris Reeve, 1 part John Byrne's. You can mix as many versions as you need.

Ahh..... I don't cook (unless microwaving counts as cooking). Hard to wrap my brain around this game, probably due to my never using recipes..... ah well.... I'm recipe-challenged. *sigh*

an animated version of byrne-jurgens era would have been killer.
man of steel to the exile to the eradicator to doomsday.
EPIC.
a live-action based on any of mark waids superman, except birthright would be excellent. give me routh for that and jon hamm as kingdom come superman.

Yeah, the only things missing from Superman: The Animated Series was Exile and/or a proper Doomsday throwdown. We really got screwed out of that!

an Alex Ross Superman animated movie would be awesome... with each animation cel being an Alex Ross painting
think about how the end product would look. nothing like CGI animated movies that we see everywhere these days

But the final product would be best of the best.  Death and Return is awesome, cant deny it. But for me, Exile is the best. I want to see the traditional Superman, Clark, DP, but I want more of the sci fi, in the Green Lantern style. Forget the Earth Superman, go somewhere else in deep space and destroy some planets! ;D |

I found "Death" a bit repetitive. I read it when it came out in '93.
World without understandably dark, moody and slow. But makes a great bridge.
Returns is fecking AWESOME though. I still remember reading the GN for the first time when I was 19 and couldn't put it down.
Bollocks to it - I'm gonna read them all over the next few days again. its been a ridiculous amount of years.
Exile is fantastic. How the heck do you get a feel-good feeling from a fucking comic book? I don't know but Exile managed it for me. You feel Superman's joy as he comes back to Earth refreshed.

This is cut and paste from a post I made a while ago (my reference to the BP oil spill dates it), but I still stand behind it:
Just give us a Superman that gets down to business and doesn't whine about it.
The world doesn't need heroes; the world just needs people who actually get sh*t done.
Looking at this oil spill, for example--I think everyone feels frustrated that nobody-- from the company at fault, to private enterprise, to the F*ING GOVERNMENT--can seem to fix it.
Give us a Superman that fixes things. Give us a Superman that sets an example, a Superman that shines a light on the ineffectiveness of bureaucracy and the uselessness of politicians. Anyone who says the character needs to be "updated" is full of crap. We NEED that 30s-40s Superman more than ever, because he took no bullsh*t. A Superman that inspires people to act when they see injustice; not just sit home and blog about it.
