What I mean is - everyone knows the Superman story - they don't need to go through the "arrived in a rocket from Krypton, brought up by the Kents" thing yet again. What I want to see is a story that begins with the world already knowing about him, and as much as possible of the background just that - something that we pick up as the plot unfolds, rather than yet another long "rescue Lois and become headline news for the first time" introduction.
Take e.g. James Bond - they don't go through every detail of his life in each film, they just begin with him as James Bond, secret agent with a license to kill, and let the story develop from that.
