not in a literal sense...

but the character Superman/Clark Kent is set for a particular period 1950s - 1960s.....

the character has too many flaws to fit into a realistic new millenium world that the Dark Knight exist in...

his costume, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, his occupation as a mild mannered reporter is all outdated and in serious need to be modernized by comic book writers...

any movie with Superman will suck because they are afraid of placing him in a setting that he could truly exist with a formable foe besides Lex Luthor, General Zod, or the evil incarnate of himself...

thats why he should remain a cartoon character.....
