It's an idea recently revisited with Superman and Booster Gold in the Action Comics books as they approach Action Comics #1000.

And at SXSW, current Action Comics writer Dan Jurgens told the assembled crowd that his final story for Superman in Action Comics #1000 will also reference that Moore/Gibbons story in title, called From The City Who Has Everything, a deliberate play on words, and asking 'What does Superman mean to Metropolis?' And designed to be a fitting story for Action Comics #1000.
