There are two comics in particular which would have been perfect for a page-for-page screen adaptation: Superman for All Seasons and Superman: Birthright. Birthright in particular would have been a fresh and new approach with a brave retelling of the superhero's origins - hell, it would even save the continuity of Smallville from being trodden all over - not that I would have cared either way, but commercially, if you can make both comic book fans and Smallville fans happy at the same time, you're laughing.
