Batman is a superhero? He does't have any magical superpowers, unlike the rest of them.

[darmaster]

There are less boring heroes/super heroes for sure

Superman = Real first superhero and everyone else wishes they were him. Gave America and the world hope during WW2 and was a perfect role model for the youth until the late 80s/early 90s when the world turned emo and wanted antiheroes and darker characters instead.

Mandrake.

Mandrake.

He's not a real superhero.

"Commonly accepted as the world's first superhero is Mandrake the Magician who surfaced in 1934 in comic strips and was created by Lee Falk."

but never been developed that much, and that sincerely has lost its usefulness long ago, just like captain america; I've never been a comic reader tbh so I'm quite ignorant, bIt I don't see superman taking interest in tackling themes that are present in comics like the xmen (the mutant vs human, the different visions of prof x and magneto) and spiderman (having to sacrifice his everyday life for protecting the others) plus obvoiusly being retardly overpowered.

This is an issue with the portrayal of Superman in movies and references in other popular culture, rather than the source material. There, immigration, equality, and identity are usually prominent. Most of all, I suppose, the better stories are about idealism at large.

Xant: super-heroes are as one-dimensional as some guy fixing the world by killing a bunch of people with the aid of magic.

Well yeah, that doesn't defeat his point really.

[darmaster]

Because his point hasn't actually made a point; what he said is far too vague, it needs to be contextualised. Except for superman, he's always boring lol. No seriously the superhero background can be used wisely as it has been done by rocksteady; the arkham series is one I enjoyed a lot, and not for the gameplay, that at times could have been repetitive, but for its narrative and characters, which means I enjoyed it becuase of the source material they took everything from and how they used it, the batman universe. If the same batman universe had been showed to me only through comics, I'd agree I would have found it boring after a while. So I believe could happen for spiderman, since I enjoyed the peter parker characters (himself especially) as much as batman's and it's universe, enjoyable on a movie/video game dimension but not as much on a comic one.
and kalam did make a point, weather is witcher or batman, a whole new world devs developed or a Japanese comic, you'd hardly not play them for being cliché amd unrealistic (all of the above are)

[Siiem]

I wouldn't mind a punisher game. Or a Blade game, neither two would be so overpowered no enemy would be dangerous.

Batman however, is insanely overpowered by the way they write him. He beats Superman, he took out an entire alien invasion alone. In the DC universe he has a contingency plan for anything that may happen... Batman is pretty much unbeatable. As long as he has 5 minutes to prepare. The MacGyver of the superheroes.

Blade would work really well actually even with the current combat system.

Just tried it for 15 minutes, and I'm amazed how bad it looks graphically compared to Batman:AC, or even just on its own. It's clearly a detailed game world but it's all cloaked in a grainy, movie-like filter, low-quality textures, an awful motion blur (see Witcher 3 for the rare good motion blur), and stuck on 30fps like a console game.

You can edit an .ini for the 30 fps thing. The rest there is supposed to be a tool for, released by a modder.

My game looked pretty good, it is installed on an SSD though and apparently that makes a lot of difference.

[Siiem]

There is streaming issue on mech disks, known issue.

[Angantyr]

I installed on my SSD. I haven't experienced any frame drops, I just disagree with the visual design choices, mainly the motion blur and the grainy filter.
