I'm one of those people that love Superman, try out his books every so often, but for the life of me just can't get into them.
This described me pretty well, too. I've always loved the character of Superman and immensely enjoy reading the Superman comics of 1938 up to about 1992 or so (enjoying each and every era for what it was), but I haven't really enjoyed the Superman comics for the last ten years and haven't been impressed during the many times I've gambled on a Superman comic to check it out again. If the quality of the Superman comics were as high as Birthright, however, I'd have to reconsider checking one or two of the Superman books out again.

Hmmm... that leads me to a tangent, of sorts. One thing I really dislike about the Superman books of the hated Carlin's era and beyond is their interconnectedness. I have no interest in picking up all four or five Superman books each month in order to fully understand one issue from one of those books, but I'd definitely be willing to pick up a Superman book that had self-contained (within a particular series) stories, like BATMAN does currently.
