Picking the best Superman games out there isn't easy, in part because the Man of Steel just can't seem to get many good ones. It's become something of a meme that Superman games are pretty rare, and even when they do happen, they're not usually good. In fact, some of those games, like Superman 64, have unfortunately gone down in history as some of the worst of all time, despite the reality that many of the best Batman games rank as some of the greatest superhero experiences a person can have. Even I admit that Superman has yet to get his equivalent of an Arkham-level experience, but having come out of Supes' new movie, I was nonetheless determined to see how close I could get to that basic Kryptonian fantasy.
With that in mind, I went back through my old games library and began picking out the best Superman games I could find – though that immediately comes with some caveats. As is well-known, the big blue Boy Scout isn't exactly burdened with an excess of modern classics, but there are still some options out there. In fact, if you're less concerned with Clark Kent specifically and just want the whole flight-and-might superhero fantasy without a strong need for DC branding and lore, that immediately opens up your options. Alternatively, if you don't need Superman to be the starring character, there's plenty of great DC games where he's part of an ensemble cast with the Justice League and other heroes.
