Superman game when?

cock kent

that's not arkham city

Instead of giving Supes a health bar, just do what the Returns game did and give the entire city a health bar instead. Now you have to prioritize collateral damage instead of your own while fighting people. And if Superman goes up against someone just as, if not more powerful than him, THEN give him a health bar.

HE'D BE TOO POWERFUL THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD COME UP WITH A PLOT REASON TO MAKE HIM LESS POWERFUL IT'S IMPOSSIBLE AND COULD NEVER BE DONE.

>Superman is too powerful
What? Tons of video game characters are powerful.

There's a billion Superman variants out there with wildly different power levels, he isn't always an unstoppable god.

Superman has literally been physically beaten to death

>we will never have a Lobo boss fight
it hurts bros

Just make him closer to DCAU or other weaker versions of Superman
People are always going on about the cosmic feats but you have to remember that Clark has been around since the fucking 30s and has several versions with differing power thresholds.
The argument that Superman is extremely stupid as they're looking Superman the cultural symbol with a Vs Battle Wiki tab open and not the several decades of history Clark has as an actual character.

Hollywood made Normies believe Superman is boring and op except when turned evil. So probably never.

Lobo injects superman with kryptonite.
Superman loses all powers
Villains go wild
Start with thugs
Gain a few powers back
Progressively harder enemies
Before final boss, can fly again.

Done

WE NEED EVIL SUPERMAN
PEOPLE LOVE EVIL SUPERMAN

Superman has a shit ton of villains not Lex/Doomsday/Darkseid

You can have fun with the excess of power if done right.
People like to fly around and throw shit everywhere, Make it like it's conceptualized in Beyond Good and Evil 2 were you can seamlessly move around the galaxy or just the globe it would make it for a huge project.

>Superman is too powerful
This is an incredibly silly argument. There are tons of games based on characters that are powerful. No one bats an eye at a game like Dragon Ball Z Kakarot existing, but the second someone says "Superman game" suddenly that's a line too far?

There's tons of ways to make it work. For example, you could have Brainiac shrinking the city down and you spend the game dealing with Metropolis getting increasingly hectic as Superman tries to race to free it and save Earth, with criminals running rampant. You have things like Kryptonite around to provide things that can readily harm Superman, you have a lot of enemies and tech that can harm him. You could have him facing people using magic, you could have Warworld and Mongul invading, you could do a number of things to give him a challenge.

Or you can do like said and go with a Golden Age era Superman who doesn't have as many abilities. Could even have it so that as the game progresses, you gradually get more as you go through the career of Superman. There's so much you can do with a Superman game that it bothers me when a lot of peoples' first reaction to the thought of one is "it can't be done!"

>depower superman
instantly trash

it's because DBZ power levels are retarded and made on the spot

while everyone, even your grandma knows how powerful superman is

This is missing Invincible, the upcoming Suicide Squad evil Superman, the evil Superman Gunn wanted to be the villain of his Suicide Squad movie, and the upcoming pic related

What if we went with Golden Age Superman? Very strong but not stupidly overpowered, can destroy an entire universe by sneezing Silver Age Superman.

Rocksteady pitched a super man game but WB rejected it, and forced them to make a bloody live service suicide squad game like the avengers

>while everyone, even your grandma knows how powerful superman is
That actually brushes up against the real problem here; everyone knows about Superman, but not many actually know the character. They've only been directly exposed to a few things, and otherwise hear or read things other people parrot and end up with an assumption that he's too strong and can't possibly be interesting in the context of a conflict or especially a game.
Just off the top of my head you have:
>Metallo
>Livewire
>Parasite
>Brainiac
>Lex in one of his power suits
>Lobo
>Mongul
>Bizarro
>Ultra Humanite
>Zod
>Mr. Mxyzptlk
>Doomsday
Hell, you could make Toyman a problem for him if you have him sending out a lot of robots all over the place. You don't always need to think in terms of "power levels".

NOOOOOOOO I DONT WANT MORE EVIL SUPERMAAAAAAAAAAAANNN

>depower superman
why not make the villains more powerful instead?

Someone post the page of Superman getting raped every day for 8 months straight

>Invincible
You think you got him mixed up with Omni-man

god these designs are so fucking shit
boomer looks alright though
