hmmm...most people i know hated starship troopers even if they didn't read the book. i boycott that movie. i don't want to know how bad it is. i love that book.
superman? he's boring to me pure and simple. he's completely 1-dimensional. he is un-relievedly good in a way that allows for no inner turmoil and no interesting character development. everything that changes is stuff that happens TO him, rather than inner changes he exacts of himself. you might say "jesus was just as good". i might. but even jesus had his moment of pain on the cross, crying out to god to understand why he was forsaken.. jesus got mad at the temple. and you can always admire his brilliance. superman is all brawn and goodness and that is fundamentally boring to me. give me swamp thing or spiderman or batman any day.
