STAS is one of the better mainstream Superman adaptations right up until the World’s Finest arc, when it becomes abundantly clear who the favorite child is. This continues for the rest of the DCAU. Just off the top of my head:
>Batman cucking him by dating Lois Lane
>At least 4 separate and distinct “Evil Superman” arcs
>Dr. Hamilton flipping on him
>Batman telling him to “cry me a river”
>It’s so easy for the Question to completely dismantle him in an argument
>The entire CADMUS arc paints Superman as a petulant child
>Having no answer for the Justice Lords aside from pardoning Lex Luthor for his help
>The ultimate insult: After his “World of Cardboard” speech, considered by many to be Superman’s crowning moment in the entire DCAU, he gets obliterated by an “agony matrix” and once again has to be saved by LEX LUTHOR
I’m sure there are more specific examples, but in general:
>Being a dick for most of JL and JLU. A lot of conflicts are a result of this pigheaded Superman.
>Being a total jobber and getting his ass kicked by lowbie villains dozens of times.
>Rarely shown to be a good leader to the league.
I’m sure there’s more I’m missing but Bruce Timm and Paul Dini wrote more than a few pointed Fuck You’s towards Superman and he stepped in more shit than any other league member (except maybe Hawkgirl). And for what? I’m genuinely curious.
