Taking out common thugs wouldn't be that big of a deal for him, which occupies a great deal of your time and gameplay in the Arkham games. I'm afraid the entire thing would be long boss battles and timed missions.
Pretty much the same problem as trying to make the character interesting in the comics.

Long Live the Legion!

(Did you hear Jeff Lemire is using them in an upcoming Justice League arc?)

Getting the flying controls working to the point that they feel natural is an issue as well. Even if you get the flying controls perfect, the world would have to be massive since he can travel very fast.
The problem is that you can't "realistically" challenge him unless you throw Kryptonite around everywhere, and even if you do that you would neuter him to the point where it would be no fun to play as him.

My suggestion would be Aquaman (in spite of how crappy it was when it was tried around 10 years ago), but that's mainly because I just want more aquatic video games.

If we don't get a Groot/ROcket team up marvel game soon, that would be a missed opportunity.

If that is the case... You must not watch many movies.

Nobody even appreciated the metaphor that I carried all the way through to the end.

Yeah those games were pretty damn fun. I wouldn't mind seeing either a third entry in the series or something similar to them. I wouldn't mind seeing a good Iron Man game. The two we got based off of the first two films were fairly crappy.

if you really like those games, try Marvel Heroes (free 2 play) on PC. it is very similar
