Exactly, but there isn't any developer out there willing to do it..The Telltale Batman games are amazing.
Their kind of gameplay would be perfect for Clark Kent sections being compelling

Ever heard of alien invasion?your mission: somehow make the latter equally as interesting/entertaining a protagonist as the former...
Ever heard of linear games?What's the explanation in that game why Superman can't just fly off to Kenya or wreck Tokyo?
See. Impossible
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?...Ever heard of alien invasion?

Watch the new movie. He can get hurt.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.
In the comics and movies, the only way to hurt Superman is to use a MacGuffin like kryptoniteWatch the new movie. He can get hurt.
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.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
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.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?...
Master Chief is boring as hell (sorry green guys) yet Halo is massive.
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?...I don't see how this idea could be any less interesting than fighting humans, you have batman/spider-man/etc for that.

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.as in, what do you do for the sequel?
again: one trick pony. but, hey, i hope you get your superman game, man...Does everything need a sequel?

insomniac says hiSuperman doesn't need to have godlike powers. I mean Spidey has fun fights with just thugs in his games and he has insane power levels. So Supes in a game doesn't have to be at 100% comicbook levels. Just enough to feel like him and to have the game be fun. Maybe start with him having had an infusion of kryptonite to his system and so he gets stronger and stronger as the game progresses.
The problem might be that developers today aren't capable of making a game with fun flight and fight mechanics.
Who the fuck cares about Superman? Unless you are mentally still 7 years old.
The character is a challenge of creativity, much like this guy: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.
