I've been watching it a little this season, mainly because it's the only thing on Fridays at 8pm on a channel I get. And it does seem to be a bit better than when I last stopped watching it (though I almost literally facepalmed when I realized they brought in THE WONDER TWINS), but...
they REALLY need to ditch their 'no flights, no tights' rule, and just make him Superman. The reason for their rule was, IIRC, because they thought it would be hokey and silly but... that ship has sailed. The show's done far worse than a costume and flying. And the constant stretching of the concept to avoid him becoming a costumed hero but having every other element of his story in place is becoming silly in itself. Just go for broke. Be daring. Try to design a costume that isn't silly. Even if it's not the final, classic costume. There are probably ways to do it... make it look more like a uniform, maybe. It's not like a movie where you'll tick off the Superman purists if you don't have the costume exactly right. It's a series, and whoever you haven't already driven away, isn't going to leave just because you changed the costume.
They already seem to be relying far too much on elements of the greater DC universe as guest stars... it's not like people are going to be driven off because it's "too superheroy".

But that's just my opinion. :)
