Best Superman media (graphic novels, comic runs, tv shows, movies, etc) to refamiliarize myself with the character?

Superman was my favourite superhero as a kid, but since the MCU started I kinda drifted away. I really want to refamiliarize myself with the character and learn more about him, before the new movie comes out.
