Can A Good Solo Superman Game Be Made? How Would You Make Work?

That's a lie, and you know it!

Well, I know some people would read it....but I dunno how many really *want* to.

Imagine stages where you play as Clark Kent doing some investigative journalism using the mechanics from the Arkham games to search for clues. That would be awesome.

I imagine a full "faction" length series of side quests with the Daily Planet. And when you investigate as "Clark" you still have all your powers....but if you're caught using them, you fail the mission and lose your progress. Like any good Elder Scrolls game, perhaps if you finish the entire faction chain you get promoted? Chief Editor Kent?

I also envision a skill tree, allowing you to build different kinds of Supermen. Start with the basic Golden Age powerset; that's level 1 and your tutorial stuff. As you level you can put points into expanding those skills/powers or adding things like flight, enhanced senses, calling in Fortress support, social/journalist investigative skills, etc.
