They keep wanting to make "Superman is vulnerable and hurting" stories because they bought the "le invincible = boring" meme about him, and will continue to fail because of it. Literally the best part about the lackluster Justice League movie was him waking up and soloing the entire team in seconds, showing why everyone is so obsessed with him being there.
Superman is meant to be the shining icon even in the darkest hour. The inspiration that we cling to to "keep fighting." So show him bloodied and beaten as some metaphor for our country just means we are already completely lost and this is just doom porn.
Wasn't the appeal of the comics the moral fights Superman had as the physical fights were irrelevant?
Most of the time it was him fighting someone equally invincible and losing because he was trying to either protect someone else or get through to them and thereby not at full capacity.
Its why the "World of Cardboard" speech in Justice League was so well remembered, because it spelled it out directly for everyone what his entire deal was.
