Just think about it.
When Superman fans want to insult the Post Crisis version of the character and ask for 'the return of ___' they always want the return of something from the Silver Age.
You don't see ANYONE say 'I wish Superman could no longer fly and only leap an 1/8 of a mile like he used to'.
It's always, ALWAYS, 'I want Supergirl to be Kryptonian again', 'I want Krypto', 'I want Lex to be a criminal that escapes from prison', 'I want Superman to be Superboy'.
All of those are Silver Age elements.
