Superman... popularity going down hill

So this week in class we are talking about icons and how sometimes have an impact on who we are as people. I took a close look at superman and realized that his popularity is going down hill. People are talking about how it's kind of hard to relate to a character that has all of these superhuman powers. It's easier to relate to say Batman who has no abnormal power at all. Whats interesting is that people are getting bored with Superman. I mean there is only so much you can do with a man who can't die. Also people are getting sick of his boy scout views on life, it was fine in the good ole days but now it sucks. All and all people are getting bored with the whole superman aspect. While the symbol on his chest will always stand for something, the person who wears it may be fading away into history.
