Outside the 'I'm so glad I was born an American instead of Russian!" theme in MoS, I DARE you to tell me what you think is outdated about it.

Issue 1: Clark played Football (Football is NEVER outdated... until Rollerball catches on! (fingers crossed)).

He traveled the world (being imitated by Waid right now).

He told Lana they couldn't be together (used in the ongoing titles all the time).

His parents created the Superman identity (this is outdated?!?!)

He saves a space shuttle (that's outdated too? Last time I checked NASA still used shuttles).

Lois Lane gave him his name (this is outdated?)

Issue 2: Luthor is rich (this is outdated? It's being used in Smallville right now).

Lois Lane interviews Superman but is scooped by Clark (this is outdated?)

Issue 3: He meets Batman (that's outdated, lol).

Magpie (she was just mentioned in Superman/Batman #2, how is she outdated?)

Issue 4: He and Lex meet, the hatred begins (this is outdated, lol). Making Lex come from Smallville is SOOOOOO fresh, as fresh as spring time circa 1965, lol.

Issue 5: Bizarro and Lucy Lane being blind, then recovering her sight (that's outdated??)

Issue 6: Clark finds out his Kryptonian origins, decides to embrace his human upbringing (that's outdated??)

Lana comes back to Smallville after being missing for years (another thing being imitated by Waid right now).

So, please, what exactly is it about MoS that you find outdated, outside the Russian thing which I'm willing to concede is VERY outdated...
It's too 80's. I like the story a lot. I enjoy it every time I read it. But, with everything that's been added to it and how much it's been revisited, it got old.
