Its wierd how someone can both so perfectly understand Superman as a character and so critically misunderstand him at the same time. Mark Millar is the piece that doesn't fit.

Superman Birthright
Superman and the Legion of Superheroes
For The Man Who Has Everything
All-Star Superman
Kingdom Come
Lex Luthor: Man Of Steel
(Though in all honesty, if you like post-New 52 Superman, you probably wont get pre-New 52 Superman. So much of what makes the character great was taken away in favour of snarkiness and half-assed fist-fights.)

Whats So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way by Joe Kelly. Only a one-shot, by the way, but the characters that appeared in it have returned in several other titles.

THAT comic should have been woven into the current New 52...and instead we have 'Let's make Superman a confused idiot'.

Funny, Morrison's Action Comics Superman doesn't come across as a "confused idiot"

They do to me. Everything from the hobo costume to the 'throwback' to the more violent Superman to the retconning of 60+ years of character development. Morrison has unfortunately not had the best runs with estiblished characters (see the horribly shitty Batman RIP and how he ruined Greyson's run as Bats). And now we take the most stable and heroic character DC has...and turn him into a thug. The reason for Action Comics at all baffes me...of all the changes the New 52 made, they picked THIS character and THIS timeline to explain them? And poorly at that.
If you are enjoying this, more power to you. For me, Action Comics was one of many reasons I dropped the entire New 52 line. Nowadays I just shelf-read and wiki information to stay current, but i will not purchase anything.
Drop the New 52 into an alternate universe and get the old one back...and maybe I'll set up my pick list again.

This was not how he came across to me at all, just young and brash, just like how early Post Crisis Superman (Byrne, Wolvman) came across at times (there was an issue where Superman left a thug on top of a building, this was either Byrne or Wolvman attempt at channeling George Reeves' Superman), hell even 90's Superman had issues, especially with an unhealthy obsession with taking down Lex if I remember correctly and don't get me started on Chuck Dixon's run, now that was Superman being a thug.
I didn't read R.I.P but I did read some of his Batman and Robin run, those were enjoyable in my opinion.

Four words on Batman RIP: weapons-grade crystal meth.
I liked the idea of Greyson and Daimon, and it had a good start...but itslowly devolved into a mess
