Good Game: Why do so many Superhero games fail?

As long as there have been videogames there have been videogames about superheroes. It seems like a natural fit -you have a medium that allows players to perform any action that the developers can imagine, and a genre about larger than life heroes and villains with powers far beyond those of normal men and women.

So why is it that so few superhero games are any good; let alone make the player feel as though they're in any way superhuman?

Because most of them are based on movies.

Cause Rockstar hasn't made one yet :(

Well, who knows. It'd probably be about gangs, drugs and stealing cars...
I'd like to see what they'd do with a super hero game, actually. Say all you want about rockstar but they make good games.

It depends, but I think the Superman games usually fail because they make him invincible. I don't care if you can still fail if you fail to save citizens or something, that's not what I consider a tense and exciting scenario.

it seems like only batman and spiderman have been successful in video game market.

but ya most of them fail because they are movie based games, and are quickly made just for easy $$$$.

I would love to see rocksteady make a superman game.
