I wonder what the reboot will be like. I hope they bring the Man of Steel closer to the original vision of his creators, and stop trying to make him ever more god-like.

The series is centered on The Flash (Barry Allen). The Reverse Flash wants to kill The Flash, but the problem for him is that if he does so he loses his own powers and undoes everything he has ever done in his life (such as eliminating his own brother from existence). For the same reason he can't stop Barry Allen from becoming The Flash. So it appears that he has altered history to take away everything that Barry Allen knows and cares about. He doesn't care if the world will be destroyed, as long as he can hurt Barry Allen.
I'm looking forward to the new series as well. I just hope that DC does the reboot correctly and successfully. I've been through three reboots so far (Crisis On Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, and Infinite Crisis) and the problem has been that each time it hasn't gone far enough, which allows problems that eventually have to be corrected. If hope this is not the case this time.
I agree that they need to bring Superman back to being one of the best and most powerful superheroes, but not god-like. This is what they did in 1986 when John Byrne rebooted him and it worked very well. He was powerful, but returned to being someone who could be challenged by villains who are below the cosmic level.
