Does that mean that Superman is a plant?

Perhaps more of a coral with legs?

To be that annoying guy - photosynthesis = photo synthesis= light driven synthesis= light controlled driven chemical reaction.

The human body uses sun light to create synthesis melatonin and vitamin D

Ergo, I am Superman. And I know what’s happening.

In the original The Dark Knight Returns, Superman gets hit by a nuke and can't reach sunlight to recover. Instead, he absorbs a rainforest's worth of photosynthesis. That's probably not considered cannon, but it kind of backs up the idea that they're both using photosynthesis.
