Luthor drives the plot. Clark drives the story. It's still Superman's personality that shines in the movie, not his powers. The focus of his character is the personality. The audience gets to know Clark. Who he is, what he believes.
Everything there just proves my point. Millar is wrong in saying that the movies are all about their powers. All of that reflects character.
Regardless, it's his personality that is driving the story. Which is the point. Plus, considering he has given up his powers in the comics for Lois or retired/shut himself away many times, it sounds exactly like Superman.
Yeah, the mind rape is a terrible moment. Still don't care for that.
Regarding WW, even Steve started out as an archetype. He changed. So did Diana.
He gives up his powers (that will save millions of lives) to be with a Nutbag like Kidder's Lois (especially when SMII and Quest for Peace gives us much better love interests in Lana and Lacy) despite her being an illiterate, chain smoking scatter brain. Then when he's repowered he sadistically tortures Zod (even if he does or doesn't kill him) with a smile on his face, goes back to beat up that redneck trucker and then violates Lois' mind for...reasons.

Sorry, that ain't Superman.
