People are really unfair to Cain, but he did a good job. The dual identity worked through subtlety not over the top nerdiness. If you watch Lois and Clark you see Superman as this stiff character, very public and dignified. While Cain's Clark was a normal guy who was a klutz. And no one thought he was Superman because of simple things like pretending to trip or burn his tongue on some hot coffee. It was a good performance and I'm afraid they're going back to the nerd Kent portrayal simply because a bunch of fanboys are hot and bothered for the older films.
