Fans have been clamouring for a good Superman game for years, and in spite of concern over how to make an accurate representation playable, there are many ways to centre the iconic character in a great game.

Available to developers is an abundance of potential inspiration. There are many versions of Superman, each with varying power sets and backstories which would make for a compelling, fun gaming experience.

While some iterations have decreased power, reducing the challenge for developers, a watered down Superman is a recipe for disappointed fans. Better to lean in to the character’s full power, utilise it to the fullest extent possible and let players have fun using it.

It’s certainly possible to ensure gamers would still be vulnerable to threats. Enemies could be equipped with weapons harmful to Superman, such as varying forms of Kryptonite, and challengers with equivalent strength such as Zod could also be included.
