I don’t think a straight forward Superman movie will ever get made again. Modern audiences don’t want to enjoy this type of thing “unironically” anymore. They rejected Thor, and then when Marvel reinvented his franchise as a comedy the praise went through the roof. DC tried going the other way, by taking him intensely seriously in the Snyderverse and fans rejected it. So now, the comedy route is the last remaining play.
Here’s my pitch: Superman is living on Earth with Lois as his roommate. A Mork and Mandy style situational comedy ensues. (They could even have meta references to this homage for the boomers: Supes could shout NANU NANU, ect.) The villain could be played straight just like Gorr. But everything with Superman is pure comedy. They could even bring back Russel Crowe to ham it up as Jonathan Kent the way he did as Hercules in Love and Thunder!
It could be really great, I think

This is absolutely true. Everyone is absolutely going to agree with this suggestion. Everyone who doesn’t agree doesn’t exist. Absolutely.
Possible scenario: Lois doesn’t know Clark is Superman for the first 5 of 11 seasons. (Because this is a sitcom, right?) There are goofy shenanigans where Lois is always just about to come into the room as Clark is getting into his Superman costume.
Possible jokes:Cue laugh track, cut to commercial.

I can’t tell if you’re joking, but no thanks. I’d rather get a Superman movie that doesn’t treat its character like a joke.

Yes. And a running joke about his red man panties.

People not recognizing Clark as Superman is potential comedy gold! I’m imagining a scene where Clark is in an optical store, the villain keeps slapping the glasses off of his face and he has to keep putting new ones on at super speed so the other customers don’t recognize him as Superman.

Kidding aside, not that anyone here was remotely kidding, even a Taika Waititi Superman would probably be better than Superman III, which I watched last night for the first time since I was a kid.
That has Richard Pryor as the phoniest soldier in the history of phony movie soldiers marching up on stage during a Superman celebration, making some weird speech about chairs, and handing Superman a glowing green rock, which Superman thinks nothing of, and everyone proceeding like that’s normal.
To be fair, Superman III does have those nice scenes between Christopher Reeve and Annette O’Toole as Lana Lang. They’re nearly all concentrated in the first half hour or so, and they’re pointless, and they’re the best thing in the movie.
Then we go back to Superman fixing a hole in an oil tanker—which he caused when he was temporarily evil thanks to that MYSTERIOUS glowing green rock Pryor handed him—with his red-hot laser vision. Because that makes sense.
