Exactely. That was an amazing thing explored in the Byrne Superman's origins.
If its used, I think it should be extremely rare, and more valuable than diamond.
The way SV has it portrayed, they should rename smallville to Kville.

Lose it. It is tired and uninteresting.
The answer is to de-power Superman. Make him more a Spider-man level of superhuman. He is still super strong compared to the rest of us, but not strong enough to life entire continents.
I agree but not to Spider-Man levels.
Recently watched an episode of the 50s George Reeves TV series in which Superman effortlessly, with one hand as he was reaching under the ptramid for a medicinal plant with the other hand, lifted the Great Pyramid. It's estimated weight is 6,000,000 tons! An aircarft carrier comes in at 97,000 tons.
Yeah Superman needs to strain lifting stuff like that. We do not need golden age Superman in the movies.
Mmmmm Mashed Potatoes...I am going to Boston Market.

Okay, maybe a bit more than Spider-man, but really, not by much. That scene in Spider-man 2 where he stops the train - if Superman were around that power level, and still had his other powers (speed, flight, etc), there would be a lot more obstacles that could be thrown in his path. He would still be "more powerful than a locomotive"... just not by much.
Honestly I hate this misconception that Superman only weakness is magic(honestly they should consider doing a movie with magical beings) and Kryptonite. Sure the man is invulnerable to most human weapons. Thats why in a sci fi comic they create new weapons. They used sound waves, energy waves, time waves, color rays etc. The Bad guy is supposed to come up with a interesting way to challenge the hero. Take the Flsh rouges. Very few of them actually tackle the flash speed. They find other ways. Mirror master traps him in mirrors.
