Except what "needs to be done" and being "mature" are relative values, that cannot be seen as absolute facts. The depiction of Superman as an agent of meta-ethical absolutes pisses me off. Superman does whats "right" . How the **** does he know whats "right"? No Superman's a lot better as dogmatic agent of his own values. His best comics, are when his values get challenged, i.e. like when he was challenged by Manchester Black and the Elite. Prime works well because he's a subtle analogy of indecisive, opinionated comic book fans, who vent their frustrations and then change them whenever they are acted upon.
