I'm think your right man. But I feel Batman would be sounding like he is from Canada, Oy, eh, and I think he would be from BC.

Seriously though, I would portray him as aging and still trying to save the world although other, younger heroes are slowly replacing him. Them being more efficient and full of life, whereas he struggles to keep up and is confined to managing the Justice League and the world is slowly forgetting about him and focusing more and more on the younger heroes. And he's struggling to deal with the fact that he's not as useful anymore due to his age.

<Snipped quote by Ruby> Yes, but we are still a long ways away from any other stars, and if (such as in Dark Knight Returns) Superman can go all withered and weak from just from taking massive amounts of damage while the sun is blotted out by dust, what would happen if he tried venturing into the depths of space in search of proper stars like the sun? If his immunity to space's extremes falters for even a second while he's zooming through the galaxy, boom, dead.
So you're saying...it's not the science, it's the comic writing that worries you. Considering how inconsistent Supes can be written, I doubt any good comic writer would let it get in their way.

Depending upon whatever continuity your hypothetical comic writer could be breaking, I wouldn't classify them as "good". If there's no previous instances within the universe they are writing for where Hero X uses power Y in a particular way, therefore not breaking continuity with Power Y, at the very least they should strive to avoid throwing in whatever power is convenient for the sake of an easy plot device. Nobody really likes a deus ex machina when it's used like that.

I'm not saying writing under such a tenet is the norm or is to be expected. It'd just be nice to see.

He is very difficult to tell compelling stories for.

Oh, yeah. Though Red Son and Injustice aren't bad (Notice how both of those are about Superman in some way being a supremely terrifying overlord because he believes he is doing the right thing/is saving people by controlling them/etc). Basically stories that don't try to nerf him because they think otherwise he's too OP and boring. (Which he can be, in the wrong plot.)

All-Star's probably my favorite. But, of course it is. What's the best Superman stories?...where he dies.

For me one of the best Superman stories is What's So Funny About truth justice and the American way. The movie superman vs the elite is based off of that comic, it's a great story
