A Solution to Terrible Superman Games?

Joshua thinks up a solution

- By Joshua Render

Do you know what one of the biggest draws of gaming is? It's that they are power fantasies; they give people a chance to be something other than they are, something with purpose and power. Now, when considering characters like that, you begin to wonder about one character, arguably the personification of said fantasy: Superman. It makes perfect sense, right? This character has so many powers, even the writers can’t make up their minds; so, what has gone wrong?

See, this is where it gets a little bit strange because there has arguably never been a good Superman game, at least none on the level of the Batman: Arkham Trilogy. This is down to several reasons that we will get into, as well as a chance for the series to step out of the mediocre shadow of its predecessor.
