I don't much care for Superman as a character. Too goody-good boring for me. But CP nailed it. A dark Superman = a lite Batman. Both are WRONG.
As for the Singer film, so many people have a problem with the airplane scene and its bending of physical laws, but have no problem whatsoever with Chris Reeve spinning around the Earth so fast it starts to rotate backwards and then .... wait for it ... results in Turning Back Time!!!!
Since the two films had nearly identical tone and only the one scene each where physics were defied (well, aside from, ya know, Superman defying gravity and such), I really don't see where the problem is with the airplane scene.
And as with Nolan's Batman, where I HATE Bale as Batman but find him the perfect Bruce Wayne ... I think Brandon Routh was merely ok as Superman, but fantastic as Clark Kent. (Yes, heavily inspired by the Christopher Reeve performance.)
To me, I don't think there's ever been a single actor who's equally good as both the comic book hero and his secret identity,
