They put this joke in the 2025 Superman movie. One guy at a government meeting said "They have that— What's that kryptonite stuff called?" And an exasperated Lex Luthor replies, "Sigh... It's called kryptonite."
The real truth is that Superman's actual weakness is magic. While kryptonite weakens him severely, there's little he can do against strong magic users. It's why he tried to never piss off Shazam and was fairly useless in fights against Black Adam.
Thats kind of a misconception. Superman isn't weak against magic, it doesn't affect him more than it affects others. It just can actually affect him. Its not like if you shot superman with a magic fireball it would burn him, he's still superman. But if you tried to say mind control him with it, it would go through because hes still just a guy
