* UncertainAudience: It's a humorous take on America's most recognizable superhero... co-written by a British comedian whose heyday was in the seventies. Mainstream American fans aren't likely to grasp the book's style of comedy, while British fans found a lot of the jokes dated.

** The premise also becomes this with regards to ''Series/SupermanAndLois'' where it's revealed one of the villains is another survivor of Krypton's destruction whose pod landed in England.

Added DiffLines:

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The style of comedy was ''extremely'' British (it was co-written by Creator/JohnCleese, after all), with a strong BlackComedy bent that doesn't really appeal to mainstream American comic-book fans, while British fans criticized the book for using extremely dated humor and references (for instance, a cameo by Music/TheRutles, a band that was already dated back when they debuted in 1979, and recycling a gag from the "Bicycle Repairman" sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''.)
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Superman being raised as a Brit becomes this, what with him being played by the British actor Creator/HenryCavill in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse.
** The premise also becomes this with regards to ''Series/SupermanAndLois'' where it's revealed one of the villains is another survivor of Krypton's destruction whose pod landed in England.
