He's the least compelling super hero ever. How can he be interesting when he is essentially invincible...unless there's a convenient hunk of glowing green rock around.

I agree that the basic concept of superman being nigh-invulnerable got a little old, but then they figured this out very early. Issues of morality vs "because I can" came into play, isolation and loneliness...
It's not all about the kryptonite either - many a superman tale has had him powerless/less powerful, dependant upon his location in relation to the sun/other suns/dimensions, he's susceptible to magic (which a larger number of dc villains wield than the superheroes), and well, doomsday didn't exactly need either of those to KILL him, just as Atlas (while semi-mystical, but power based on raw strength) didn't need them to fight him to a standstill...See, I get where you're coming from, but I think you've based a large part of your perception on what you've seen in the movies/pre-80's comics, because it hasn't really been that way for a while.
What they need to do is modernise/change these perceptions in terms of the films, then maybe the character would appeal a bit more.
