He makes lame movies because he's too powerful, but he makes a great song topic because he's too powerful. His abilities make for metaphoric and allegorical poetic themes.
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being, and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin.

Superman is a copyrighted character.
Whether the lyrics of the songs songs are talking about the literal Superman and his world, or referencing him as a metaphor, they're alluding to that established character and his universe.
If Hound Dog were called Lassie, and it went, "you ain't nothing but a Lassie.." it'd be a song about Lassie.
The lyrics of the songs are more or less irrelevant and subjective when dealing with trademarked characters.
Either way, semantics, semantics.

But that’s not the same thing. It’s like saying Hound Dog is about a dog.

They reference him.

Not all those songs are about him.
