I don't like the idea of Superman being immortal. It would be a very lonely existence.
In the comics, after Superman came back from the dead, it was stated that he is mortal. [/b]I don't like the idea of Superman being immortal, either. He's not a god, and I don't like it when he's treated as one.
I can't see Superman having motivation to keep being a hero if he were fated to see all his loved ones dying while he lives forever. An immortal being most likely would turn into a villain like Vandal Savage due the pain from all his losses .
I guess that's why it was the perfect role for Dean to play on Smallville. An metaphor to the dangers of being Superman forever.
