My biggest problem with the Kents being dead? Supposedly comics writers want fans to relate to their characters. We're in 2012, in America, during an era of "extended adolescence" and people having to move back home in adulthood for various reasons.

This isn't the 1930's Dust Bowl where Superman came from. And they were already old like the original versions of the Kents. They looked to be say in their early thirties at oldest to me. Maybe late 20s. How many people in their target audience, 18-34, can relate to having both parents dead by their early 50's(the parents) of apparently natural causes?
