Well for me to be honest the Rebirth stuff wasn't too bad with Tomasi and Gleason but to be honest some of the stories were a little BS. I mean seriously that one story-line with Zod was a remake of the Last Son i mean my lord. Lor-Zod is back like really?

@jogga: @jogga:For me I feel like characters like Goku and AstroBoy represent something missing from Superman that hasn't been captured, see in Japan they DO NOT care about their characters being OP. They LOVE it which is why I feel Japan likes Superman and his concept, almost all of the manga heros in Shonen are punk characters but are ALWAYS super idealist like Superman. I feel Superman shoudl take a page from anime because the anime is inspired especially Shonen characters by him in a sense.

Before people lose their minds and say SUPERMAN ISN"T SAITAMA or SAITAMA IS A PARODY BLAH BLAH I get it, I'm just making a suggestion that the show is everything a Superman show could be, light-hearted, funny and can be serious at points and Superman is saving people etc. I can even see Mr. Myx in that show creating monsters that look super-weird like the creatures Saitama fights lol. What to make this clear again, I AM NOT SAYING THE SHOW SHOULD COPY EVERYTHING FROM ONE PUNCH MAN. Superman can still be Superman.

Lex to me is the Mega-Villain archetype in spades he can literally be anything and have a variety of motivations involving Superman which is why a lot of Literary critics always compare him the most to Lucifer/Satan of Christian theology he doesn't have a quirk like Joker in that sense. Jessies Lex to me was interesting and for me, it worked when I saw BVS. People in the audience generally were surprised and liked his Lex but it would be interesting to see a Lex like Frank who doesn't want to kill Superman at all but wants to outlast him in Legacy and will do anything to gain the power to achieve it.

@diehard200904: Maybe it's just me but the Arkham Games were not Sandbox style games in a sense like Assasins Creed or GTA. They had a story and after beating the story well, we literally have NOTHING to do unless and here it has easter eggs to find. Superman well for me is powers aren't the problem it's that unlike Batman who does what he does and then the end. Superman would have to force a studio like RS or other studios a challenge them in NOT making a Batman clone. See Superman removes them from their comfort zone and allows actual INNOVATION very key word. I understand why Dini said listen I will not write Arkham Knight until specifically RS works on a character with actual powers like Flash and Superman.

@moul: I disagree, everyone thought Arkham Asylum was going to be complete garbage well it changed a lot of things did it? For me Superman can sell very well cause he is brand recognition all over the world not just the North American market. Japan alone would buy the HELL out of that game they love OP characters to begin with.

@moul: Not a bad idea actually, thing is people approach Superman, Flash ( yes I have even seen this) like they are making a Batman game. If anyhting RS or any other studio would have to go to the drawing board and says listen this is Batman and this is Superman.

zaied I agree man, this is very true that is the clear distinction between the two Superman saves people and prevents disasters . Superman IMO should be allowed to have his powers but people need to understand it's a video game they WILL restrict you. I would have the basic he can lift Cars and Trucks and only in quick time events he lifts heavy objects. Let it be natural I mean seriously people need to think why the hell would you want Superman to lift buildings? Some of the detractors make idiotic arguments like this and I shake my head like seriously?

zaied

@precrisisbardock: Agreed Superman is a sci fi action hero he is not some kind strategist like Batman but he knows tactics and if he only punched stuff his career has a protector of earth would be rather limited.

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.

@takeluutzen: I would agree with that. For me it just seems everything got muddy the minute they attempted a timeline. Arkham City and Arkham Asylum we had NO timeline we would just make guesses. Even the Joker said yeah I killed a Robin not let him live like they did in Arkham Knight. No to mention how Joker-centric the universe was forgetting that Dini and Timm understood Batman's rogues gallery beside Joker being a focus most of the time. Al Ghuls to me were very underused in Arkham Knight I mean it would make more sense if they used Lazarus Pit for Jason's return and his improved training. If Dini wrote Knight things would've happened VERY differently.
