bluegargantuaHey,
So I think it'd be interesting to do a comic where Superman's powers are very directly related to our sun. He's only Superman when the sun is out and when not exposed to sunlight (indirectly is fine) his powers quickly fade and he's back to just being a normal schmoe.
Which, so great, he's Superman during the day, but most crimes happen at night. Especially in Gotham City.
I think you see where this is going...
There'd be some fun stuff to dig into there

people had taken the trouble to concoct a plausible scientific explanation
for Superman's powers (i.e. he got them from the yellow sun) whereas they
could have just taken the cheap way out and offered no explanation at all.
I also remember explaining to my mother how classy this was of them, but
I'm not sure she got the point.
