1) Be completely the opposite of the current comics and how Geoff Johns sees the character
2) Be 20+ years out of date
3) Be a slap in the face to Siegel and Shuster, which is maybe part of WB/DC's intention since this movie is being made in part because of their continuing exploitation of them.
4) Not be Superman.
Exploitation aside, the "Slap in the face" bit is junk. Superman has been shaped by many creators, as is the case with pretty much all big comic book properties, and featuring one interpretation over the other isn't a slap in the face to anyone.
Similarly, this "It won't be Superman" line is also junk. Naturally, I understand if you dislike this interpretation or that interpretation (Frankly, I'm a Birthright man, myself), but saying that it's "not Superman" is obviously wrong. Superman is a lot of things; John Byrne's Man of Steel is one of them. Obviously you feel strongly about the issue, but I think you need to think more carefully about what you're saying.
