You creepy little stalker
I want classic Superman, but done contemporarily.
Get him questioning his own ethics and his existence a bit more, that whole propaganda thing he waves around most of the time is ripe for some exploration in a movie. Get him in some deep political shit which forces him into some seriously difficult choices.
There's so much milage in the Superman concept. I hope it isn't just the same old Superman Americana bullcrap where he goes through the usual motions of Comedy Clark scene, Superman scene, Lois scene, Superman and Lois scene, villain scene, Fortress scene, Kryptonite scene, Superman fighting villain scene, Superman almost dying but not quite scene, Superman impossibly lifting or moving something massive without it breaking it under its own weight scene (a helicopter, a plane, a building, a mass of land etc).
I mean, we've seen it. It's been DONE. Lets see something new. Do what Burton did and just do something creative. We've had the literal depiction of Superman in the Reeve movies, it's time to push for something that will add to the franchise, not just re-iterate on it.
One good thing a reboot would do is provide a chance to rewrite his DNA so to speak, and make him a little bit easier to kill WITHOUT a special green rock.
Lex always deserves to be present, but it's about time we saw a more relevant Lex in the movies of Superman - the capitialist, untouchable, badass Kingpin-style Lex would be great, thankyou. No more comical buffoon in and out of prison in comical escape attempts with comical lackeys. That's embarassing.
The best take so far has been in Justice League. That Superman is brilliant!
