I also read those comics one after another, and I share your opinion. Secret Origins is fantastic, while the other one (Superman: Earth One) is quite terrible. Leaving aside the emo and coincidental stuff, I really, <i>really</i> hate the villain. Hey, funny thing. I also read those comics one after another, and I share your opinion.

Just like readers sometimes forget that characters can lie, Bill's interpretation isn't necessarily correct, it's just how HE sees Superman. That monologue isn't in isolation- he's using Supes' example to convince Kiddo that she's a morally superior being who shouldn't have to play by the rules of "normal" people. If that's the interpretation he takes from Superman, he's doing it wrong. Then again, given how old he is, who's to say his last exposure to Superman wasn't when he was a dick?
