Superman has a long history in video games, yet none have effectively defined him, with most being mediocre or poor. Despite his potential as a gaming character, analogous to Marvel's Spider-Man or Batman: Arkham Asylum, Superman's games have failed to capitalize on his narrative and power fantasy. Players seeking to experience Superman's abilities in a game often find the best experience in Lego Batman 2 and 3, where his character plays a key role in the story and gameplay mechanics, allowing for engaging use of his powers.
Superman has a long list of his own video games, from the notorious Superman 64 to the ambitious but flawed Superman Returns. But he's never had something truly defining.
Video games are often all about the idea of a power fantasy, putting you into the shoes of a character who can perform god-like feats when you press buttons.
It's a bit bizarre to say, but if you want the best experience of playing as Superman, feeling his flight and power, you should play Lego Batman 2 and 3.
Despite Superman's status as one of the most iconic characters of all time, most of his forays into the world of gaming have been middling or disastrous.
