A Superman game from Telltale has amazing potential, even more so than Batman, IMO. Look at it this way: If you had the powers of a god, what would you do with them? Could you really resist the temptation of ruling Mankind, instead of helping it?
Superman's characterization could be key to Telltale's approach. Would your Superman be the brooding alien from Zack Snyder's movies, or Christopher Reeve's valiant boy scout? Would you level half a city to kill a nigh-invincible foe, or risk him escaping to secure the safety of all the civilians caught in the crossfire? I mean, just think of all the agonizing decisions someone like Supes would have to face on a daily basis. Awful crimes happen simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles all the time. Even Superman can't be everywhere.
Picture this: You're flying over Metropolis, when your super-vision spots a woman falling to her death. But it also picks up an impending collision about to occur on the streets below. You have only a few seconds to act; you can't prevent both catastrophes, even at your extraordinary speed. What would you do in that predicament?
(P.S. Optional spit-curl for Superman's model, Telltale.)
Well in that situation I'm going to assume the Collison will involve multiple casualties casualties.. So I would go stop that. Can't save the one over the many.

But what you didn't know.... is the streets were empty!! Due to construction it was closed off!! DON, DON, DOOOONNN!
Oh wait... super-vision... guess you would know... that's not as fun.

I agree having the characters being stuck in the past is not a good idea unless it is something major and changing to a character. Major events of Season 1 should ripple into Season 3 but also be discussed in Season 2 about how it might affect them in the long run. Also it is impossible to make a Superman game because of all his powers and invulnerability.
I have given DC heroes a chance, it's just not for everyone. Batman is the only one I could get into. Honestly prefer some of Marvel's heroe… mores over DC, but ultimately it's the Batman that's the best out of both. And I'm also not interested in adding all the sc-fi and magic into this telltale version. I like their scientific/technological approach and want them to stick with it.
And what I mean is the choices made in season 1 are being resolved in season 2. Its like the story needs to move on, I don't need to keep hearing about what my bruce/batman said to catwoman from season 1 in a season 3 when I've already heard about it in season 2. And, by that point, season 1 is so far back that it really doesn't matter. The characters need to move forward, not stuck on things said that are years ago in the timeline.

Yea being that he is Superman and pretty much not able to take damage there is no point in having him face a struggle because he can rule the entire universe if he felt like it.
Maybe a Justice League game when u pick one hero to play with him hole series(but a new Batman to be not this one bcs this is so realistic, and i whould like it to stay that way).
I'm sure, any story written by TT would be interesting. I would like to play Superman game coming from them... in theory.
But, like many people here said, I'd prefer more Batman. =D I'm not a fan of superheroes at all, I still can't believe sometimes, I'm really into Batman fandom, lol. But this universe is realistic and grim enough, and I like the rogue gallery. And I love how Batman lacks any superpowers, as well as many of his enemies like Harvey, Joker, Penguin and so on. I just don't care about all that superpowers stuff. Bores me to death.
And TT Batman is still fresh and promising, I can't see a reason why it should be abandoned yet in favor of other superhero game. So many promising villains to introduce... Scarecrow... Black mask... Poison Ivy... Clay-face... TT version of Croc. The possibilities! =D
Would be great. DC is far more than just Batman but instead of using other interesting characters Batman is overused. I mean he is awesome but so are many others (Superman, WW, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash etc.)
If they did do a Superman game I'd like them to keep Batman and Superman's stories seperate for as long as possible. With Batman you get the gritty realism, and with Superman you get the overpowered superpower craziness, but even then you can add realism and grittyness to Superman. Using my idea of starting off as a young Clark Kent in the first season TT could totally tell their own version of Man of Steel where Clark is trying to learn how to deal with his powers and then finds out he's a Kryptonian and gets the suit and the whole she-bang, and the main villains could be the other Kryptonians like in MOS. From there you could branch off into really high-tier threats like Brainiac and Darkseid for the next few seasons, and overtime you could kinda build things up to the point where a Justice League has to be formed to combat all the insane threats the world is facing, and then you can introduce Bats to Superman.

I would rather see more seasons of Batman that start to lead into the Justice League

Haha. Or we can just let both events happen. Can we get a game where we can play the villain? Lol
I second this. But I'd like to be a newbie villain who sucks at it. ...For the laughs.
That would be cool lol a new villain. Like a villain with the personality of Rhys from TFTBL lol
Best telltale character ever!
I want them to introduce Robins to batman first and make a Red Hood Telltale Series

agreed, an overpowered superhero would be extremely boring. Half the fun in a game is the struggle.
