Exactly, but there isn't any developer out there willing to do it..
It shouldn't be hard to make a good Superman game especially when games like God of War exist.

Im sorry but Superman just fucking sucks. As a superhero, comics, movies, games, everything. There's nothing interesting about what is basically an invincible man.

ever heard of a one-trick pony? if the first idea you can come up with to create an interesting superman game is to have him duke it out with powerful aliens, aren't you basically acknowledging the limited nature of the inherent possibilities?...

In the comics and movies, the only way to hurt Superman is to use a MacGuffin like kryptonite
How this is supposed to be fun in a game, nobody knows. Which is why no Superman game has ever been fun

Superman Returns game had some of the mechanics like flying very well done. Also how the city has a health bar and not you. It was fun. Someone just needs to make a great game around it. They were making a movie game so they didn't have money or time for it.

I don't see how this idea could be any less interesting than fighting humans, you have batman/spider-man/etc for that. I couldn't care less about human enemies.

i never said it was 'uninteresting'. i said it sorta indicates that there're not really a whole lot of other existing possibilities when you're reduced to immediately going to 'alien invasion' for a plot. as in, what do you do for the sequel? more aliens? dinosaurs?...

Does everything need a sequel? You could go to the home planet of the invaders, or the aliens could share (in some way) their technology with the evil humans. Or it could be another invasion, but from a different dimension (Darkseid would be nice). I mean, Link always searches for Zelda, and that's not a big problem afaik.

How about an old, aging superman who has almost given up. But a mysterious stranger offers him one last job and maybe a shot at redemption. In this form he's much weaker and can be harmed. Side quest could include flying through rings to power up.

Just make Superman vulnerable during gameplay even if he isn't actually, and then during cutscenes say that je defeated those human thugs in 0.0000000000000000000000001 second, or something.
At the end of day, it IS the adaptation into a game.
In MGS games you can sometimes advance in very silly ways, yet story itself still has its protagonists as legendary, super skilled soldiers.

Fuck Superman and Wonder Woman and most DC heroes. Batman is the only cool one in the entire DCU. Give me more of that, like future Batman in a cyberpunk Gotham with awesome villains.
