How would you approach a Superman game if you were given an AAA budget and dev team?
>>743834927Said before and I'll say it again. Base the first part of the game off Superman Smashes the Klan so you can get proper power scaling.
>>743834927Easily. He's hardly the first superpowered protagonist in history. Let him fly, go real fast, shoot lasers and take a beating, and fight bad guys of varying levels of power so some you can steamroll and others you struggle with.
Batman has tech gadgets and knows Kung Fu plus he's a detective, what part of Superman's powers would make for an interesting video game? He can fly and he can beat the shit out of everyone so unless you scale to his power by making it Asura's Wrath but DC it simply won't be fun.
>>743834927Easy.Black Mask has distributed shitloads of Kryptonite all over the city to justify (You) taking damage.
>>743835310>would make for an interestingI don't know anon, what part of flying and shooting laser beams could be fun to play?
>>743835360Where are you flying to? What are you shooting your lasers at? You could make a Superman in Gmod and do all that, you still need to make an actual video game that delivers an innovative experience and not just make a PS2 game that everyone has played before, that's the reason why we don't have a Superman game, there's a million games like that, you can do all that in the fucking Lego games.
I dunno he flies and shit nigaaaaa
>>743834927I’d take the $100 billion and start my own rogue state
>>743834927Open world where Superman flies through Metropolis helping people, from evacuating people from burning buildings to brawls against supercriminals. The twist is that every event has a real time timer and he can't save everyone so he has to prioritize. Sometimes a big even will happen somewhere else (like a ship sinking at the other side of the planet and he has to decide between leaving Metropolis undefended for hours or solving that crisis. Some missions would be massive EDF-style brawls against armies of alien invaders / monsters. Some missions would be giant puzzles (like one morning finding the entire city frozen and he has to do detective work using his powers to find the source of the freezing).
>>743834927He gets dosed with some amount of Kryptonite at the start of the game, from say Metallo, not enough to leave him powerless, but really weakened, and over the game you regain your powers so you can fly, tank hits, heat vision, x-ray vision, etc. Like Batman Arkham but on a very different scale. You can even do the "leaps tall buildings in a single bound" callback at the beginning. Set it in a big version of Metropolis. By the end of it you're full power Superman and you take on your gradual ramping up of supervillain levels. Lex in his warsuit, Parasite, Bizarro, Livewire, etc, have Doomsday as your final challenge if you want a real boss battle, Brainiac as your actual villain, like Arkham City did with Clayface and Joker. You can leave off someone like Zod for a followup since that can have you full Superman from the start. Obviously, hold off on Darkseid for longer.
>>743834927Have SierraLee adapt Superman Fucks Gotham
Don't know shit about superman besides the basics everyone knows but I would create some contrived reason to de-power him with kryptonite food poisoning or something like that. The campaign would be you slowly gaining back your abilities like a metroid (flight would be the final power you get). Make it an open world metropolis but you go through the city in a linear fashion, unlocking new parts after beating lex luther dungeons.Also physics and destructable environments are a must. Laser vision should start fires that can propagate, melt ice and turn water into steam, etc. Hulk Ultimate Destruction should be heavily copied
>>743835513Just do Supes through the ages, chapter 1 golden age, ch 2 silver age and so on where the power sets and enemies change with the eras. Make the player insert Jimmy Olsen with a time traveling doodad that keeps fucking up and sending him around. Do the stupid electric powers arc too.
don't overthink it
>>743834927I think Lex Luthor should either be Eggman where every level has you fight a Lex boss where it's a huge robot, multiple robots working in unison, a dodgy Superman copy robot, and some other shit like huge machinery drilling into the earth and Superman has to stop it. Or, Lex only appears for a couple of fights during the game in his power suit, then after they work together to defeat Darkseid/Brainiac, Lex uses his plot powers to unveil his Superman-suit that does everything Superman does, except smarter and better in every way, and they have one last fight on a platform in space.Genre? idk just make it like Bayonetta or something.
Superman has so many fucking weaknesses at this point that the whole idea that he's uniquely overpowered seems like a stale meme now.
>>743836136There's 3 key parts of Superman.Pic related where everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity regardless of their race, religion and origin.His >Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear... until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share -- I'll never stop fighting.speechand anything that shows humanity can be just as heroic or strong as he is.>I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.>You're much stronger than you think you are. Trust me.Superman at his best is just being the Big Blue Boy Scout.
>>743836938This
>>743835513>>743835310I don't know why people act this willingly dumb about Superman specifically. >Whaaaaat you can fly you can't make a game outta thaaaaat it's impossible like what are you flying aaaaat maaaan!
You don't need to depower him to work. Plenty of game characters that are overpowered in lore like Dante, for instance. Just make the game where he flies, beats up villains and lifts stuff up. That's it.
>>743835139That would be fucking epic. Start from there and build up to increasingly higher enemies.
Adapt the Warworld setting, where Superman is captured by Mongul and has to fight in gladiator battles, plus going around parts of Warworld. Gives you a host of bad guys to fight, and you don't need to figure out how to let you feel like you're controlling Superman without restricting you so you don't trash Metropolis.
It's piss easy to not have him blow through Metropolis just by flying around. Either stop him going through a building because Superman wouldn't, or have him automatically move to the side he's closer to and go around it so as to not interrupt the player's momentum of flying forward, that's if you're even down at building level at all instead of flying above. People way overthink it. He's hardly the only super powered protagonist in gaming.
>>743834927Superman principally has the same problem as Sonic. He's just too powerful to design any decent game around without nerfing him to such an extent that he can never hope to live up to his reputation.
>>743840803Well Sonic has some good games so it can be done
>>743840803No, retards won't just stop wasting everyone's time with muh grafix and fucking make games that play like Sonic Adventure when they already perfectly figured it out before 2000.
>>743834927Justice League Musou, dumbassEveryone can fight random mooks and still face the 'big' general enemies. Just say superman is the one that actually does it canon and not just because of gameplay.Make it mostly about the superfamily and try to play more unique aspesct (like, idk, make Supergirl ride her horse, Jon (kid) can tagteam with Krypto, steel is robotman, PG is flashing her tits every attack). And of course, the rogue gallery with Luthor in an armor, Zod, Bizarro, livewire, Brainiac, etc. Have the trinity + other classic JL members as 'guests'Maybe even throw in the Legion of Superheroes for good measure, since they ARE a part of the superman mythos. You niggas don't have any creativity.
>>743837597I blame power scaling. People just know he’s the stwongest tuffest ever from shit like death battle and have never interacted with any of the media.
>>743841606Only if the plot is The Blackest Night.
>>743838045Honest question, did you read the comic?
Today's prime time issue and AC 1100 were better than marvelslop.
>>74383492770s insane superman
>>743834927imagine giving a shit about this spandex wearing solar system limited bozo99% of the universe he's just a fucking bumhe ain't a character he's a solar panel
>>743834927Make a game like asura wrath
Make it Absolute.
>>743834927Give me Injustice: Blackest Night
>>743834927meh, just make him way overpowered and beating the shit out of millions of humans or alients like it's a dynasty warriors game. Because why the fuck not? He's overpowered and can wipe the floor with any common man. Why not just embrace it? Make the regular fights easy and let people have fun for those fights. Let players enjoy the easy times.Then slowly crank up the level by making certain enemies shoot kryptonite bullets at him. He'll take some damage. He ain't fucking invincible. He can get his ass kicked by someone with kryptonite, Doomsday or Darkseid or a few other hard fights. So we CAN make hard boss fights.
Goku is strong as him and people make games with him, what's the problem?
>>743841606Has a DC Ultimate Alliance type of game really never been done before? Seems like a no brainer.
Honestly it should just be some kind of boss rush action game. No rpg shit mechanics, just a super strong guy who has to fight other super strong guys (with interesting gimmicks)
>>743834927Hulk Ultimate Destruction in 3DFor the final fight, the city has a HP bar and you lose if it takes too much damage.
Make it a stealth game where you need to rush to a hidden place to change into the uniform but if someone sees you it's game over.
>>743835139I liked how he was running on top of telephone lines in that.
>>743843676People have some weird mental block with Superman specifically, I don't get it. Most of the time they seem to barely know anything about him anyway.
>>743843954Yeah, and he gets beat up a lot in the comics, even without kryptonite, there's always monsters and villains strong as him.
>>743843954I guess not that many people read comics or watched DC media that isn’t Batman, so people just glean snippets of who Superman is through cultural osmosis.I’m not a comic buff at all but could at least tell you Supes gets in actual fights all the time without being giga nerfed with kryptonite first.
>>743834927Base him on the Fleischer cartoon
>>743834927Just copy Asura's Wrath gameplay and have Superman fight top tier villains.
>>743843362Today's issue good.
>>743843362There is no left arm in this pic.He just has a left hand floating
>>743840803>He's just too powerful to design any decent game around without nerfing him to such an extent that he can never hope to live up to his reputation.That is not Sonic's problem at all? He just has some shit games.
>>743843954They seem to think Superman is One Punch Man or something.
>>743840803Sonic's actual problem has been a struggle to adapt the fast sidescrolling gameplay into 3D without feeling either aimless, or too on-rails.
>>743834927Superman vs Apokolips
>>743837658>made with ADL's Institute for American DemocracyI almost forgot Superman is jewish
>>7438349273d flying dark souls
>>743837998Yo, dat Lois is hot.
>>743843903That's why it's a great starting point since Superman is having to deal with his mental block for his powers, but still finds ways to still use them at his nerfed level. So if you want to travel around the city quickly, you can use the powerline system before he becomes mentally comfortable to just fly.
>>743834927Boss rush game against his rogues gallery. They're built to withstand or sabotage him
>>743835637>The twist is that every event has a real time timer and he can't save everyone so he has to prioritize.This is actually pretty okDC? Hire this anon.
its about avoiding city destruction you can hypothetically battering ram your way through everything, but your main focus is to actually SAVE lives
He’s too powerful, you’d need to make a game where he mostly just tries to prevent collateral damage
>>743834927make him hold back and base your score or hp on the damage to the environment, and then at the final level you give him actual hp and make him fight something that can actually make him bleed
>>743846967This mentality is stupid.
>>743846218As Superwoman, she puts every woman to shame thanks to mora's art.
>>743835637>Some missions would be massive EDF-style brawls against armies of alien invaders / monsters.Go full Silver Age with this part. Fleischer toons, Jimmy Olsen bullshit, Jack Kirby style designs.In fact, use the various ages as inspirations for the mission styles.Small stuff like a bank robbery, think Golden Age. 1V1 enemy brawls, let's go Dark Age 90's style and DaRoS.
>>743835637>The twist is that every event has a real time timer and he can't save everyone so he has to prioritizeThat's fine except he can move and think faster than the flash can who can circle the world millions of times in an attosecond.capeshits a joke. superman is the perfect example of this joke. the only way to make a superman game that isn't a parody of itself is by making your own version of superman that isn't just literally perfect in every way so you can actually include interesting flaws like not being able to save everyone that needs to be saved.
Lex gives everyone guns with kryptonite bullets after kidnapping Lois and has to fight his rogues gallery before getting to the end and fucking him up.Open world too.
>>743847181Also speaking of Dan Mora's art and Superman>>>/co/154731441
>>>/co/154731441I want to bite that thigh and hug her.
>>743843528>just make him way overpowered>>743837998>Plenty of game characters that are overpowered in loreThere's normal Overpowered, then there's the kind of bullshit Superman gets up to when he's Overpowered.Which I'm fully in favor of for shorter bursts, let most of the game be regular Superman at a bit stronger than the Justice League cartoon, then give me Superman Prime (Alive! In the Heart of the Sun!) or Thought Armor Superman for a special level.
>>743841786No. I listened to the radio original.
>>743834927Having Clark segments is non negotiable. I feel like the game over condition shouldn't be you dying but you getting caught by Lois or your identity revealed. It would be funny if while you're Superman you are graded on how much shit you accidentally destroy.
Ok get this, Lex Luthor has made a series of floating rings, and you have to fly through them to stop him.
>>743847580DC is just lapping marvel at the comic departmentAnd is going to get worse because they are killing mary jane, venom and eddie, as turning peter into a fucking mutie
>>743849047
>>743847568>can circle the world millions of times in an attosecond>has trouble lifting a single globe atop his newspaper companylmao
>>743834927Steal the budget to make open-world Batman.
>>743834927only boring fags care about superman
>>743849373Heckin poggers open world?!?
>>743847568Secondary alert
>>743849390Hi Manchester Black
It's very easy, just make the Superman game take place outside of earth and make him fight foes at his level
>>743835139Isn't the the comic with the niglet? If anything it should start with golden age Supes, you can only jump high and run fast and block bullets but not explosives.
>>743843362Honestly my favorite depiction of krypton. I am so fucking behind on these issues.
>>743834927I would use the budget and team to make the most expensive MSX2 game ever made.The game would be about superman trying to protect metropolis, you don't even have a lifebar, metropolis would be your lifebar. the challenge is mostly of finding and ending the issues at a timely manner, using the tools you have as superman.
>>743849393Like gta but you arrest the thiefs xdd
I think the big thing is that the game really has to capture the tone that Superman is there to help people, and that means that it shouldn't be 100% an action game where it's just Supes punching Mongul-tier aliens all the time. I think you need to have him be grounded and doing low-level shit sometimes and you need to make that fun.
>>743841719>>743843452>Green Lantern storyno one fucking cares about green lantern lmaoooo
People weirdly overthink it. So what if he's strong and can fly? He has plenty of enemies. You don't have to have him invincible and moving at lightspeed, just make him very strong, very durable, very fast. Like Superman the Animated Series did. Use robots, aliens,, supersoldiers and mutants as his standard foes so they aren't immediately squashed, and his rogues gallery for your bosses. You can have your regular humans for little crimes you can stop around Metropolis where they can't do shit to you but you might have to pick and choose which crimes you can help with, plus general disasters like fires or pileups where you can rescue people. Obviously, he doesn't fly straight through buildings, but that's easy to get around by having him move around them automatically, he can still zoom around the city smoothly. He's not Batman and you shouldn't be copying Arkham 1:1, but a lot of basic lessons can be learned from Arkham City and Knight.
>>743835762I like your ideas but I'd have either Lex or Brainiac as the final boss of the 1st game. 2nd game can adapt the Death and Resurrection storyline with Doomsday as recurring main villain. Superman dies early on, gets resurrected and has to regain his powers again, while meeting the 4 Superman successors. After finally defeating Doomsday he faces against Cyborg.3rd game can be Darkseid
>>743849390wtf I care about Superman?!?
Make a modern XYZStrike game but you control Superman instead of a helicopter.You can fly around really fast, use your powers in different ways, and have massive scale but you also need to rescue people, etc.
>>743834927Extremely easy, just give him the Samus treatment.>Starts game OP as fuck for some chump mission>Gets his powers stolen/sealed by big bad>Has to get his powers back one by one as the story progressesIf you want you could base the de-powered supes off of the very early versions like Fleischer's animations where he can't actually fly but does super jumps that mimic flight sort of like Prototype or Hulk Ultimate Destruction.
>>743850201I think Doomsday works well as a final boss simply because he doesn't need to have much character, but it's the guy that Superman famously died defeating so any player will know it's the ultimate physical challenge and feel actually in danger. Some of his biggest villains aren't an actual physical threat to him, more in their schemes and resources. So Doomsday is useful as a substitution, and can slot in any game, your first one, second one, third one, whichever. Maybe do something similar to the buildup in The Death of Superman where Doomsday is coming closer to Metropolis over the course of the game and whatever villain's crisis has Superman occupied there and not able to leave to help, with news of other heroes being unable to impede him, and a counter ticking down to him arriving (like the detail of the last few Death of Superman issues having four panels per page, then next issue three panels per page, until the final issue was entirely splash pages). Again you're not going to get much character out of Doomsday so making him a looming force of nature seems the way to go. Darkseid as your looming threat is much more chatty and can serve as the villain throughout a game.
>>743850640Leaps tall buildings in a single bound! Faster than a speeding bullet!
>>743850640YOU CAN'T DO THAT! SUPERMAN HAS TO BE PEAK POWER ALL THE TIME! I DON'T CARE IF YOU USE REASONS CANON TO HIS LORE! YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT!
>>743834927Breath of fire dragon quarter like.Superman end up parasited by kryptonic or some shit and you sacrifice your survival gauge to use broken power (and the game is fucking long so good luck)
>>743834927Don't have it take place on Earth.Have Superman is captured by Darkseid and have the whole game being about him trying to escape from Apokolips. Doing this, you avoid the collateral damage question that always hangs over any adaptation of the character into video games. It also allows Superman to go up against people that can handle him and gives the player destruction, and shows off characters that are cool but rarely seen in games, such as Barda, Brutaal, the Furies and Scott Free.
>>743849504Chinese loli, actually
>>743847568>he can move and think faster than The FlashNo, he can't. At best, he's about 20% as fast, and he takes way longer to accelerate to that speed.I like the concept of a Superman game where you have to choose between priorities in real time. The best way to handle that would be a Deathloop gimmick, where different runs would fill in their own pieces of the plot and reveal what you actually need to do to get the best ending possible.
>>743834927Triple A 3D beat em up with a lot of emphasis on using raw strength to hurl large objects at groups of enemies, being able to hover and move quickly in the air, and working your way up from street goons to parademons on Apokalypse. If you give a shit about Supe's canonical power scaling, just have it so that earlier levels are when he's just getting started as a hero until he eventually gets to regularly fighting Lex who arms enemies with kryptonite and then Darkseid and his forces.
thinking about how to make AAA superman, flash and green lantern games makes me understand why they went with wonder woman instead
>>743834927JRPG developed by Atlus
>>743834927I’d make him dark African with a rainbow S on his chest. All the villains will be straight white males who are craven cowards and despicable. African Superman will be very fashionable in his alter ego and wear the latest fashions and use modern lingo. All of his friends and allies are LGBTQ+ diverse. He’s in a polycule with a white man and woman as sub partners. The whole comic will focus on humiliation of white men and cuck and bull dynamics. He will meet Batman, and Batman gets a crush on him, comes and seduces Superman in his alter ego. African Superman then fucks Bruce Wayne in his asshole. Lex luthor acts straight but gets pegged by his female love interests, and they cuck him for gay Superman. Black gay Superman fucks old white Superman in his asshole. This comic would be boosted by the tribe and sell millions. Be the most famous ever, Superman fucking Batman in his asshole would be a key collectible book. Graded copies going for high some sums in later years. Straight comic nerds gloriously clap and signal that it’s great and a unique creative storytelling direction. The stories will be lifted from old kink books and converted cynically as possible into comic stories. No real writing needs to be done. Just draw Superman as a black queer muscular top and it will sell. Mostly anyone into comics these days is a queer or tranny, if not they are inoculated with the slop and this is the drivel they deserve to consume and praise.
>>743847568>except he can move and think faster than the flashNo like see I get it you're a secondary or demented shitposter but I want you to just well...if you're a bot or thirdie think about what you said. Just ponder that over because its the equivalent of saying an olympic runner is faster than a cheetah.
>>743834927I would place kryptonite doohickeys everywhere that remove his powers and annoys the player and you never actually get to play superman at this full strength and half the game is actually stealth segments where you play as Lois Lane, but it will be the tomboy version from the animated show.
>>743853678>four niggas in a row turn based Justice League gameI mean, that's fucking stupid, but I could see it working out rather well. But only if it were japs developing it.
Your post idea was not funny enough to go past two sentences, anon. Be funnier.
>>743853752We already have two Negro Supermen, on Earth 47 and Earth 23.And technically Earth 2 as well, but he's stupid. Decent outfit though.
>>743834927Just let me blow up everything in Metropolis
>>743853635Green Lantern is easy. You just make a diet God Hand where you get a "deck" of Hard Light Constructs you can use, that all drain your ring's power by different amounts. So you have to build a loadout that won't use it all up and leave you stuck fighting with a weak basic move set before you get the chance to recharge.The Flash is 100% impossible, though. The kinds of things he does just aren't feasible to implement in a video game unless the world is as shallow as a dewdrop like Megaton Rainfall.

>>743834927Hereafter Superman>stuck in world with red sun and no powers>survive and get stronger>eventually make it back to a yellow sun and get powers back
Superman should have never gone beyond the 40's - 50's, everything with him should be a period piece stuck in that time
Absolutely unhinged American power fantasy that quickly goes off the rails. Basically Metal Gear Rising. The main foes would need to be aliens to actually pose a threat, but they'd be backed by Lex Luthor.
>>743854613The character is timeless. An outsider landing on a foreign land being raised on genuine ideals from humble people and then using his gifts and upbringing to do as most good as humanely possible can work anywhere. The problem is most writers turn that into something warped for a narrative that doesn't uplift the setting or bring forth some kind of important questions.
>>743834927>How would you approach a Superman game if you were given an AAA budget and dev team?Do what Warhammer did. Grant the license to basically anyone who seems competent enough to make a working game. Use the money on blow and hookers.
>>743854335The problem with The Flash isn't that you can't make a good game about a superhero who runs fast. Every open world superhero sandbox does that. The problem is that it's impossible to make a game with a version of The Flash who doesn't feel dramatically underpowered. He can move so fast that time practically stands still for him. He can vibrate through walls, and run so fast he can travel through time. Any game where you take a meaningful amount of time to cross a city and have to fight common thugs at normal speed is going to make him feel arbitrarily underpowered and relegate all the cool wacky shit that people read Flash comics for to cutscenes.There's no way to translate what people actually like about The Flash in particular to a video game.
ITT:>character that is about hope, justice, ideals>so let's just get him to punch dudes for 10 hours
>>743855069You're stating this from the perspective of a powerscaler. Even comic fans aren't into the various Flashes and ensemble cast because he can outrun Jesus Christ and perceive the Big Bang in a picosecond while channeling the Speed Force to distort reality.
>>743855069Make a puzzle game with time stop mechanics and time travel?
Probably just make it a cross between Spider-Man (2018) and Gravity Rush.
>>743855119Yeah, where's my Superman game where Clark Kent stands up for truth, justice, and the American Way for 20 hours? Sounds like a blast. Sitting in local city council meetings to voice his opinions, mobilizing people to vote/protest, organizing social media campaigns? Or he can punch dudes.
>>743854235I feel you, but unfortunately I think Wondy was on her powerless Super Spy shit at the time.
>>743853836>Lois Lane game>the goal of the game is to get captured so that Superman rescues you and solves the case immediately
>>743855119There are numerous posts talking about gameplay featuring him saving people and stopping disasters. If you're not going to read the thread don't try to summarize it.
>>743855308Both Spider-Man and Gravity Rush have a traversal mechanic that can be mastered, even though it has a low skill floor. How would you make Superman flight engaging?
>>743855360>Sitting in local city council meetings to voice his opinions, mobilizing people to vote/protest, organizing social media campaigns?You are describing a Sim City NPC.
>>743855374A Clark Kent game, the game is about you being honest reporter for the Daily Planet who constantly gets into political trouble wherein assassination attempts always fail, for some reason. And Lois keeps stealing your byline but you let it slide because she's cute.
>>743855141I'm not even talking about the especially crazy stuff. It's a mainstay for Flash to make quick work of common thugs in both the comics and cartoons. Then the actual villain comes in and sticks him down with goo, or makes him slip on ice, or something like that. Running extremely long distances in extremely short amounts of time is something he does in every appearance. Even, just as a particularly reserved example, the DCAU version of The Flash is too fast to properly represent in a video game without feeling watered down.
>>743855119Yeah it's a video game, I wanna have fun with his super powers. Are you retarded? >>743855476Just make it look cool.

>>743834927Make it a hentai game where you have to resist raping every villain, men and women. You can use xray vision to see people naked. You can crit so when you cum hard it shoots through their bodies. In the end you achieve world peace because everyone is afraid of getting raped by superman.

>>743855778Yeah Zack Snyder invented cool super powers, you can't have any fun with the spectacle of superpowers especially in a medium that caters to it because well....you just can't. It's not like you couldn't put that characterization in the game too because it just runs too counter to Superman despite everything else that does it just fine. No people might compare it to a ten year old movie.
Aside from it being a Fightan, what's wrong with Injustice?I thought it was a great Elseworld.>Crime took my family too, Clark.>But you weren't the gun!
>>743834927An alternative version of Superman, as a kid he watches how a black man brutally murders his father and rapes his mother before also killing her. (By coincidence the black guy has kryptonite in his wallet so Superman isn't so super.)Without his parents' guidance Superman's hate only grows and he spends his youth zapping around in the world, killing all blacks he can find. However it turns out a lot of Kryptonite is found in Africa, making his adventure far from easy.
AAAslop stealth where Clark has to be escape the Soviets after being raped.
>>743853886Yeah, but does he fuck Batman in the ass? lol Superman is a Jew anyway, and a metaphor for the superiority of Jews over the goy cattle. Partaking in these myths is stupid.
>>743856207The only good thing about Injustice was the one daydream Clark had where Bruce kills the Joker instead of him and willingly goes to prison
>>743856509No. IJ's writing is overhated because there are unironic shitheads who think that Supes would actually go that level of nuts if he got Killing Joke'd
>>743856565It's not like Superman hasn't willingly killed with malice before in canon anyway. This dude straight faced crossed his arms and watched as the comic book version of Faora literally choked to death in a room of Kyptonite dust while she was crying and begging him for mercy, and that shit was canon for mainline boy scout Superman, for like forty years.
>>743834927give it to a J A P A N E S E D E V
>>743856848Same principle, but Iron Man, with like a thousand suit variants.
>>743856509The panel of Nightwing dying by falling over is funny enough to be worth it
Brainiac shrinks Metropolis and places it in a jar that Superman can't break through. To explain why you can't leave. Various supervillains try to take advantage of the crisis to steal some cash/Star Labs tech.
Just make Lego Superman: All Star Saga Grab a shitton of good Superman comics, movies, episodes of the series and throw it into a blender. Add a free roam mode similar to Spiderman, where you just go helping people
>>743856884Iron Man is so stupidly easy to imagine in a game that it's genuinely appalling that they've never made any proper big budget Iron Man game since he became a big name with the 2008 movie. How do you drop the ball on that?
>>743834927Do that one old ass Elseworlds comic where Superman and Batman are one with shared origin with Metropolis and Gotham as the same city and both rogues galleries are combined. It would be so off the wall that it distracts from the game's inevitable faults.
>>743856207Injustice sucks as a story because it requires so many characters to be completely different from their regular counterparts that it undermines the premise of exploring an otherwise normal world with a Superman broken by grief.Batman and Flash are more or less unchanged, but Wonder Woman is a jealous sycophant for Superman, and Hal Jordan turns into an authoritarian who switches Lantern Corps three times? Without Parallax even being involved?I have a hard time accepting that the Injustice universe wouldn't have deviated way before the Joker causes Lois Lane's death.
>>743856207Injustice is like one egregiously dramatic decision after another in quick succession of each other by numerous characters. Its not that they're acting differently from mainstream versions its that they do shit like..killing Shazam for 0 reason whatsoever or teaming up with Harley who helped nuke Metropolis.
>>743857259AFAIK the only major difference PRIOR to nuke day is that Steve Trevor was a Nazi spy.When he betrayed Diana she instead looked down on humanity instead of held hope for them. That's why she genuinely wants to lord over them.
>>743857058>Just do Vanquish, but Iron Man>Just do Devil May Cry, but Iron Man>Just do Armored Core, but Iron ManAny one of these would be decent. It upsets me.
>>743857334>ShazamThat was Clark at his lowest point. He had just killed Lex, who was his closest friend and had betrayed him. Any dissention at all was enough to send him over the edge. >Harleyyeah that's just DC following the money. Harley is what the people want, apparently.
>>743857337Does she never see the irony in trying to oppress humanity while also existing in Greek mythology with beings who tried to destroy humanity like the Titans or Hades?
>>743857594No not really. She's sort of a cunt.
>>743857594>or Hades?Hey, Hades was one of the nicer gods in Greek mythology, both of his brothers were bigger assholes, especially Poseidon.
>>743857668Hey if I saw a baddie like Caenis just sunbathing on the beach...I'm just saying, y'know?
>>743857668>Poseidon's chosen animal is a horse>Poseidon is a massive asshole>Women love horsesThe Greeks knew.
>>743854674Luthor would probably join Superman in defending the Earth against hostile aliens that were gonna wipe out everything, and worry about Superman later.
>>743857668I know but in DC Hades and Ares are usually the go-to godly villains in WW along with Circe
>>743857668>Gifts a snow white bull to King Minos to show his favor, then demands he sacrifice the bull to demonstrate his loyalty>Minos wants to keep the gift instead>Curses Minos' wife to fall in love with the bull in retaliationWhat a jackass. Just leave me alone if you're going to make everything so difficult.
>>743857941Poseidon, by the way, not Hades. And not the only example where the person wound up worse off than when they started.
>>743857870There are a ton of stories where Lex sells out the Earth to work with Brainiac or Darkseid.
>>743858083I don’t care about new 52 or some gay shit like that, real Lex wouldn’t be ruled by some alien. Maybe if he had some sort of kill switch he’d make a deal with the devil type situation to use those guys to beat Superman but not without some sort of failsafe where he’d come out on top with both those guys gone.
