I think comics worked better with clearly goofy character concepts like Bizarro Superman. "Realistic' super-heroes just has too many glaring contradictions for me to enjoy.

If the comic tries to bring real world issues and sensible plots I start to notice stuff like "how nobody notices Superman is Clark Kent using glasses" or "How Batman is still alive when every other villain is a walking atomic bomb".

I enjoy reading short series like Kingdom Come or Dark Knight, but even those stories cut much of the usual crap to make the story more sensible.
