The Telltale Batman games are amazing.
Their kind of gameplay would be perfect for Clark Kent sections being compelling

Exactly, but there isn't any developer out there willing to do it..

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.

 

[Jormatar]

Who the fuck cares about Superman? Unless you are mentally still 7 years old.

what we're all really ready for - a bizarro world game:

 

[Critical Hit]

your mission: somehow make the latter equally as interesting/entertaining a protagonist as the former...

Ever heard of alien invasion?

What's the explanation in that game why Superman can't just fly off to Kenya or wreck Tokyo?

See. Impossible

Ever heard of linear games?

 

[kevboard]

the only way to make a good Superman game is by making Superman not feel like Superman... and therein lies the issue.

Ever heard of alien invasion?

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?...

Yes.

Watch the new movie. He can get hurt.

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.
