Would you play a new Superman video game? (Metro)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GameCentral looks through Superman<\/a>\u2019s gaming history and ponders why no one seems interested in giving him a new video game of his own.<\/p>\n

A brand new Superman movie is coming out this weekend, marking the first cinematic solo outing for the character since 2013\u2019s Man Of Steel.<\/a> And if those trailers are anything to go by, it looks to be a return to form that truly gets what Superman is about.<\/p>\n

Considering writer and director James Gunn is also overseeing the entire DCU (Warner Bros.\u2019 newest crack at an extended cinematic universe) and has expressed interest in tying future video games<\/a> into it as well, we have to believe there have at least been discussions about getting a dedicated Superman game off the ground.<\/p>\n

Despite what you might think he’s actually had lots of games made about him in the past, but for the last couple of decades he’s been relegated to the role of supporting character in more general DC Comics<\/a> related games.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the most famous tie-in game is the dreadful Superman: The New Adventures for the Nintendo 64 (aka Superman 64), but even the better examples are fairly mediocre.<\/p>\n

So, while we highlight Superman\u2019s best gaming appearances, we also want to look at why game developers seem to struggle with adapting the character and why it shouldn\u2019t be as difficult as some seem to think it is.<\/p>\n
