1. Is Superman OP? Really?
I find this argument very odd because Rocksteady's Batman was not COMIC BOOK Batman. It was the spirit of the comics so to speak but it was still their version of the character they just stayed close to the source material. To preference my point, why is this NOT applied to Superman? It's has if the version of Superman people think we will play has the Silver Age Version or the All-Star Superman version? Of course, if RS is doing Superman it will be their interpretation of the character so he will be pretty depowered because he is enter into a different medium which always happens when a character from the comics gets adapted. Plus when I play Arkham Knight do I ever think to myself, hmm Batman should have drones ( like Brother Eye) or Batman doesn't use EVERY SINGLE GADGET in his arsenal. Again they depowered Batman for their game plain and simple, its funny people say Superman would be boring yet forget the very fact that comic book Batman is ridiculous and RS didn't use that version at all before it would be also boring. If this was the world's greatest detective batman for REAL then Arkham Knight would be over in 30 minutes. This applies to any character, not just Superman.
2. Enemies
Apparently superman won't work because he can destroy regular thugs? This is, of course, coming from someone you can tell knows nothing about Superman's universe or the nooks and crannies of how his universe works. First off why the hell would Superman fight regular thugs like Batman? Are people forgetting where not writing Batman with superman's powers were writing Clark Kent/ Superman/ Kal-El? Superman fights Meta-Humans ( like Poison Ivy in the Arkham games) on a daily basis from his rogues gallery. Plus the US military is pretty paranoid of him too or are we forgetting General Sam Lane? In Unchained, he makes those Black Hole guns ( Gravity gun) take him out. Plus you have Cadmus Labs, S.T.A.R Labs and Mad Scientist. Also, a big difference with Superman's character is that he saves people in very unique and interesting ways like falling plane, burning building or natural disasters or his enemies causing damage.
3. It will be boring after the main story?
Again I played Arkham Games all in 100% completion and at that point, I just look for easter eggs and beat up some thugs after that it gets super-boring till I restart the story again.That point just sounds REALLY and I mean REALLY stupid.
4. Oh and this crowned jewel
"But superman is the boy scout(something Batman is NOT). He would be presumably be going around helping people throughout an open world. If all he did was fight the biggest villains and the fucking military, please explain what the hell the point of a massive OPEN WORLD GAME is! That's why I said a LEVEL BASED game would work."
So you mean Superman GTA I see? Also what the hell is Batman doing? Yeah, Batman isn't a boy scout per say but seriously your acting like Batman with this statement is a GTA character like he is running around in the Batmobile killing people. Also sorry but we have a game that has high-speed open world transportation it's called Just Cause 3. I make this point cause the same individual attempts to say this:
"They could make a more linear, level based game work, but an open world game would get incredibly boring outside of the main villain. It would have to be an insanely huge world to do any sort of justice(and fun-ness) to his flying/leaping seeing as how he doesnt exactly glide at 5 mph. And like I said previously, the non main story interactions would probably get boring since it would be like playing with an invincibilty cheat."
Really? Just like the Arkham Games after you beat them? Yeah, your main point?
Again maybe it's me but the arguments I have seen on why people think Superman is difficult is rather horrible and make no sense and this is coming from a fan of both Superman and Batman. It seems very bizarre and shows in the internet people lack imagination sometimes. Man the obsession in the gaming industry of realism and grittiness just shows the lack of variety my god, that rant is for another day.
