I got one more. Batman did it right. So did Spider-Man. Now it's time for the original cape to get it right. It's time for...
SUPERMAN!
(Done right.)
Superman is one of those characters that just don't fit well in a video game. Either you nerf him, or you have an invincible main character. Except, does this HAVE to be true? Can you make a Superman game with a good Man of Steel, yet still have some challenge in it? I mean, Superman has potential. You'd get to BE Superman. Stop speeding trains, save Lois Lane, catch falling helicopers, save Lois Lane, fight giant space-robots, save Lois Lane, and prevent planes from crashing. And that's just a small sample of what Superman does.
I'm thinking an open-world game at about Just Cause 2 scale. You'd have Metropolis and the surrounding areas. Using super vision and super hearing, Superman can find crimes in progress and stop them, or locate citizens in need. Of course, being the new big man of Metropolis is going to make Mr. Luthor angry... Which sets up the plot. Superman does Superman things and Lex plots in the background, while an assortment of bad guys show up regularly in the story to provide boss fights and big battles. Like Brainiac.
Can Superman be done right? Of course, and I want to play it.
