    Let's face it. The Man of Steel has been treated like garbage when it comes to video games and seeing as how Rocksteady pretty much made the best licenced game ever made with Batman: Arkham Asylum, I see no excuse why they couldn't make an awesome Superman game. Does anyone agree?

    Rocksteady were asked in an interview if they would like the Superman license but they said his powers would be too difficult to implement in a game.

    It would be very tough for them. Developers of Infamous may be able to make a decent Superman game.

    I probably wouldn't buy it, even if they did. I have no interest in Superman whatsoever.

    Rocksteady so far made ONE good game, so don't hype yourself too much. Also, the fact that they made a Batman game doesn't mean they are superhero-experts.

    I'm not sure if they should, but I'm open to the idea if they decide to make one.

      Superman Is the hardest hero to work with. He has too many power and unless the story is good, he and his villains are very thin and not compelling. The story would need to be great and  i have no clue how they would handle the gameplay.  I would love to see a good Superman game (other than the one on SNES) and it would be nice to see a new movie too

    I like Batman because he's a dark, edgy character and the Batman mythos is full of interesting and rather deep villains, I don't feel the same way about Superman. Besides, games based around things for the sake of games based around things are never good ideas.

    He's too damn powerful for a game. There would be no threat unless you did some nonsense with kryptonite or magic. Either you have a powerful Superman in a boring game or a weak Superman that isn't the character people would want to control.

    Nah, he's too powerful and the only way to be challenged in the game would be to have every enemy shoot bullets made of kryptonite.

    I think we all know the true question here: Should Rocksteady should not should make a Superman game?
     
    And the answer to your question is yes, but only if they completely revamp the entire atmosphere of the comic. Like, entirely. Wait a sec... isn't that Batman?

    @hedfone: What is so taboo about bumping? What if he wanted to make a similar topic, but used the forum search function first to make sure he wasn't repeating something that had already been said?

    The problem with the Man Of Steel is that he is too powerful, so in order to make the game a game and not just "Press Start and push A to win" they have to hadicap him in some way therefore killing the reason we wanted to be Superman in the first place.  Let us see a good Deadpool game instead.

    I liked the concept they used in the Superman Returns movie game, where Superman himself is as invincible as you'd expect, but the city of Metropolis has a health bar, so the longer a bad guy goes around messing with the peace, the more "damage" Metropolis takes. Or of course there were the missions with literal damage, like the one with the giant robot. It's too bad the rest of the game was bland and forgettable.

    I'm sure they'd do something dumb like "Metropolis has been bombarded with kryptonite!" just so that you could start off weak enough to fight thugs or whatever, which kills the whole point of being Superman.

    It's cool to hate on Superman.
