I am not watching Justice League until I see Snyder's Cut of the Movie.

^ I think the mistake with Superman is making him an alien from another planet in the first place. He should have been just a Human Being of Earth that happened to have superpowers.

I'm not going to say that can't be done. Rather, it would be a really easy-to-fuck-up decision. If you'll indulge my curiosity, why is him being an alien the problem specifically?

Superman is supposed to be the most purest, non gimmicky example of a modern Superhero ever made. Every other hero are all dependent on a gimmick and theme (with the arguable exception of Wonder Woman)

And Superman being this Alien from another planet and not Human of Earth just feels "gimmicky" for me.

As to how I would explain his powers. I would rather make Superman a litiral Demigod, for his mother is a Human from Earth but his Father is an original New God from New Genesis.

So you essentially want him to have Mister Miracle's backstory?

And who is that? The DC/Marvel universes are so big I don't know every Superhero.

Scott Free (yes, that is his real name) was the son of the Highfather, ruler of New Genesis and his wife Avia. (New Genesis is one of the planets of the New Gods if confused). Here, this Wikipedia summary may help with your description:

"Scott Free is the son of Izaya (Highfather), the ruler of New Genesis, and his wife named Avia. As part of a diplomatic move to stop a destructive war against the planet Apokolips, Highfather agreed to an exchange of heirs with the galactic tyrant Darkseid; the exchange of heirs guaranteed that neither side would attack the other. Scott traded places with Darkseid's second-born son Orion.[18]

Scott grew up in one of Granny Goodness' "Terror Orphanages" with no knowledge of his own heritage. As he matured, Scott rebelled against the totalitarian ideology of Apokolips. Hating himself for being unable to fit in, he was influenced by Metron to see a future beyond Darkseid. Scott became part of a small band of pupils who were tutored in secret by the rebel Himon,[19] a New Genesian living as a "Hunger Dog" on Apokolips. It was at these meetings that he met fellow pupil Big Barda, who would later become his wife.[20]

Eventually, Scott Free escaped and fled to Earth. His escape, long anticipated and planned for by Darkseid, nullified the pact between Darkseid and Highfather and gave Darkseid the excuse he needed to revive the war with New Genesis. Once on Earth, he became the prot?g? of a circus escape artist, Thaddeus Brown, whose stage name was Mister Miracle. Brown was impressed with Scott's skills (especially as supplemented with various advanced devices he had taken from his previous home). Scott befriended Brown's assistant, a dwarf named Oberon. When Thaddeus Brown was murdered, Scott Free assumed the identity of Mister Miracle.[21] Barda later followed Scott to Earth, and the two used their powers, equipment, and skills in the war against Darkseid, who was still interested in recapturing both of them. Eventually, tired of being chased on Earth by Darkseid's servants, Scott returned to Apokolips and won his freedom by legal means, through trial by combat."

That almost sounds nothing like the new origin of Superman I had thought of.
