The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum: 75 Years of Superman

Today on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I decided to post a forum topic post where you are invited to share your memories of the Superman category of the DC Universe franchise from over the years, although the 75th anniversary of Superman's official debut is not until 4/18/2013.

What are your thougths/feelings about the DC New 52's revamp/reboot of Superman so far? Would you say Superman has gotten better or worse in comics over the years? Any favorite moments in filmed Superman media (examples: the 1996 animated Superman T.V. series and Smallvile)? Any merchandise collected so far (ex: statues)?
