10 Ways Rocksteady Could Make The Perfect Superman Video Game

5. An Interesting Morality System

Superman has notoriously been perceived as being a bland character. But there's more to his boy-scout image than may first appear, and the introduction of a morality system in Rocksteady's game would be a way to bring out the nuances of the character's personality that are often left by the wayside.

Despite what other games may have you believe, a morality system doesn't just have to be boiled down to choosing between good or evil, and instead could be used as a way for players to decide what kind of superhero they want to be.

Do they want their Supes to be the morally uptight boy scout everyone thinks he is, or will they play him as more reckless and open to taking chances, maybe revelling a bit too much in the destruction they're causing?

There doesn't need to be a deep conversation system or anything, but the ability to tailor how you interact with characters and the world itself would go a long way in adding an extra level of depth to this historically one-note character.
