OF course the biggest problem with a league game that I could see from a none story perspective is Superman. How you make Superman feel right... without basically making it impossible to lose with him. Magic or kryptonite weapons are the only things I think that could work in terms of damage. Or go with current Superman who is more limited in terms of power. Or they can have him available for only a limited amount of time. He'd be like a star in Super Mario.

Then, if you beat the game with 100% completion, you get to unlock Superman for permanent use.

Removes worrying how to make Superman playable(in the main story at least).

I would genuinely not be surprised if we see a Justice League game set in the Arkhamverse. If there's one thing you can guarantee these days is that successful franchises will be milked for all they're worth. I don't even think this will be the last Batman game in the Arkhamverse. I mean LexCorp billboards, a billboard for Metropolis and two thugs both mention Supes (one by name the other just referring to him as that freak in Metropolis) Also a friend of mine who might be full of shit said he heard a Wonder Woman reference at one point too. So they are definitely trying to continue to build up that the entire DC Universe exists here and not just Batman. Though I'm not entirely sure how an Open World Justice League game would work. Mechanics-wise I'm assuming you'd just swap between characters as the story dictates... (if they don't just make you play as Batman) There are also references to The Flash. There's a poster that says "Run to Keystone City", and a random thug says he'd rather take over Gotham than Keystone because at least you can see Batman coming. Damn do I love being able to switch between Batman and Nightwing, wish there was more of it. I especially loved this exchange. {Spoiler}Nightwing: "You gotta admit you're having fun." Batman: "I'll have fun when Penguin's brought to justice." Nightwing: "You really know how the crash the party."

Terrific terrific game, beat it yesterday. Impressive all around, lotta fun. Got to about 80$ on the side stuff, that's a lotta Batman ass-kickery.

Just finished the main story, and I have pretty mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the hand-to-hand combat with Batman and the other characters is a lot of fun. One of my favorite parts of the game was teaming up with Robin, and it was so cool seeing the two fight together. On the other hand, the Batmobile stuff was a bit too excessive. I hated everything that had to do with those damn drones. It just ruined the flow of the game for me, having to stop in my tracks just to destroy some tanks, as I was just trying to drive to the next destination. Arkham Knight's boss fights sucked, two of them utilizing the Batmobile, especially the Cloudburst one. That was a pain in the ass. If only we had more team-ups in the story...

I think Superman Returns had a good idea just terrible execution. Don't make him have health have the city have health.

Don't have the game yet due to some financial difficulties. Had it down-paid on Gamestop, hopefully can still get it there when things are settled.
HOWEVER, to talk about the Superman thing in a game (since I've been working on a video review of the Superman vs. Amazing Spider-Man comic, which I plan to release on Monday), here's how I view it:
Superman's powers are related to the solar energy in his body. Most conventional weapons and attacks won't hurt him, true...but enough force and power can. Even in the late silver/early bronze ages this was true, as in the aforementioned Superman/Spider-Man crossover, Lex Luthor had high intensity lasers that could hurt Superman if they hit, and high powered sonic rays hurt him as well.
Kryptonite is the easy out, yes, but it SHOULD be a rare thing to find, so we'd leave that out.
Then there's red sun radiation, which people tend to forget. If exposed to it, it will cause Superman to lose his powers. Again, in the aforementioned crossover, Luthor used that in secret to power-up Spider-Man for a short time so he could hold his own against the Man of Steel (yes, red sun radiation combined with his own radioactive spider-blood. And Bruce Banner thinks he had problems with the gamma radiation).
Magic is another easy out, as it bypasses Superman's powers. How? It's magic, we don't have to explain it.
But as for how to relate to a video game? Let's look at the Superman/Doomsday fight from the "Death of Superman" story in the 90s: Doomsday didn't have red sun radiation as far as I know, and while from Krypton as we'd learn later didn't have any Kryptonite on his body. He also wasn't magic based. So how was he able to "kill" Superman? Think of the amount of solar energy in Superman's body as you would your cell phone. Most attacks don't chip away at the reserve...unless they're REALLY powerful threats like a Doomsday or something of Darkseid's forces. Your health bar could be related to the amount of solar energy Superman has, fighting against amazingly powerful threats that weakens it faster than just standing in sunlight can charge it up.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts on the matter. Either way, as long as he's not spending most of the game flying through rings, we should be fine.

I might as well give my two cents. I liked it, but I still think Arkham City is the best so far. The only few bad things I have to say about it that it is a massive pain to drive the bat mobile, there were some glitches, and the identity of the Arkham Knight was kinda obvious, but all in all it was a good game.

Superman can be hurt by stuff that's strong enough. Let's not forget the one time he died, it was because a dude straight up beat him to death.

I heard that the team that did Arkham Origins is handling the DLC.
Know what? That kinda sways me a bit. Maybe there will actually be decent boss fights now.

{Spoiler} The game is far too short, The bonus mission packs are weak and I was hoping to be able to play as other characters Like Robin, Nightwing or Redhood.

I know this has been stated elsewhere on the internet but, my lord Riddler is annoying.
I mean, I felt in Asylum and City, he was the right amount of annoying. Here, it's just overkill.
Yes, you're a genius. Would you mind shutting the f*** up already?
Overall, I enjoy the game but the Batmobile sections should have been reduced dramatically in the final edits.

The one boss that spooked me out was Copperhead Don't forget the Electrocutioner fight, which made me think I had broken the game. In all seriousness there's also the Deathstroke fight, don't care if it was basically a quick time event, it was f***ing awesome.

Really, that's how you introduce Jason Todd as a villain? With a boss fight consisting of sneaking up to him and little else? This is the first time, in the Arkhamverse, that Batman has seen Jason since Joker kidnapped him. That deserved a much more epic boss fight than what we got. Not to mention it was built up beautifully with the flashback scenes. What a tremendous letdown.
