Yup.

If anyone seriously thinks Superman has no character flaws, they're not reading Superman comics.

Sure, but Wayne's a psychopath, so he's not the best example.
I do get what you mean, though. People too often see a person that's generally a "good person" and don't look any deeper. Even good people have their own shit to deal with.

That’s the good thing about Clark. Our real world sucks enough, we read stories to escape real world problems, and there are many flawed characters out there.
With all that, Superman is the representation of the goodness in us, the goodness we strive for. And to me, that’s why I like Superman so much.

His is generally perceived by everyone(even us comic book nerds, who know a lot more about him than most) as the epitome of a flawless character... The quintessential "boy scout".

Funny thing is I used to hate Superman. But the asinine...annoying and borderline clinical sackbuffing of Batman over the past decade or so by everyone did the unthinkable and made me relate more to Superman. He's not infallable...it hit me one day reading death of superman. He's just a man who was raised right by moral parents. His biggest flaws to me is he's overconfident. Because he is infact Superman, he has a tendency to think he's always right even when he isn't. He wants to be like everyone else, but his great power has gotten to his head just a tiny TIIIIIINY bit. Justice league unlimited played on this idea well. Its a credit to his character that I can say its only a little bit, because that power would probably turn anybody else into a full on *******. When I think of an infallable personality I think of Steve Rogers. He is...superhumanly good, wise and just. Especially considering his upbringing. Clark Kent is just a good and honest man.
edit....One more thing that goes to this point, its WAY easier to push Clark over the edge and piss him off than it is to get Steve to give in to anger.

serious and honest question-why do you think people spend so much time hating on superman and trying so hard to shit on everything he does?
i know it happens to alot of characters, but it always seems especially prevalent with superman. why is that?
