I like a lesser powered Superman. Some of his stunts in the past were pretty wacky even in comic book terms. He seriously doesn't need to be a demi-god, and it has always been this historic hurdle for writers approaching him. In just about every interview, commentary, character insight: it's hard making drama for a guy who's quasi-unstoppable.
And what's the issue? Even a depowered Superman is still one of the most powerful heroes in any universe (DC, Marvel, whatever). His qualities, in my opinion, lie deeper than the 'bullets bounce off' thing.
