Superman desperately needs to get a good game made by a team that have a lot of clear love for the character like Rocksteady for Batman or Insomniac for Spider-Man
As a Batman fan and a Superman fan and a Zack Snyder fan at the sametime, I'm planning to do sth with my fellows from game industry with UE5 to establish a project about restoring Zack's DCEU in next-gen game media. We plan to make a demo and a teaser in 2 years.
Glad that Superman Returns was the best actual Superman game on this list. I'll admit, the game is actually really fun. You're flying around Metropolis saving people and protecting the city. Any missions are handled by Mr. Mxyzptlk, so that's a neat villain integration
Superman needs a huge breakthrough in the videogame scene, he has so much potential. (I bet Henry Cavill would be open to voice the character considering his love for gaming)
They need to finally embrace how strong he is and stop trying to nerf him. Spider-Man, Batman, Hulk, they all got fun games because the devs leaned into the things that make them great. Just put Superman up against ridiculously powerful villains and alien invasions and let the player do crazy things. Just go full world of cardboard
@@THNF89 The reason Spider-man and Batman's recent games are so beloved was the passion and dedication behind them. Rocksteady and Insomniac went above and beyond to release those games in such quality. It is doable, it really comes down to the dev team's passion and dedication to Superman as an IP.
@@ZaronNitro definitely. I remember watching a video about the development of Spider-man 2 for the PS2, the guy who came up with the web swinging system did it on his own time and basically begged them to include it in the game. All it takes is someone with a good idea and the passion to pursue it
@@THNF89 I think I've seen that video (although, it was a while ago). Spider-Man 2's web-swinging was - and still is - revolutionary, I honestly spent hours constantly swinging through New York just to enjoy the sensation. I still do the same with the new PS4/PS5 Spider-man games. I'm sure if a Superman game is made today, it's flight system would be at the same level of quality.
I spent most of my life thinking that there weren’t any 3D open Superman games. When I discovered Superman returns, I freaked out and ordered it for my ps2 immediately. Loved every second, though the game does have tons of flaws.
A good Superman game is absolutely possible to this day. The framework is literally right in front of them. All they need is a good story to get it started and base a game around that.
"The cutscenes atleast, were cutting edge for 1996, unfortunately the game came out in 2002.". This was the most accurate synopsis of Superman Man of Steel, ever.
My thoughts exactly. I dunno where they get some of these dates from. Diablo 1 was 97, Diablo 2 was 2000 and Justice League Heroes was 2006. Maybe they got 97 confused with 07. Also, X-Men Legends had already been out for 2 years by the time Justice League Heroes released so it wasn't even the first "Diablo with superheroes." Oh well, the TJ boys do their best
Fun fact: Though Justice League Heroes had nothing to do with influencing Diablo, Justice League Task Force absolutely did. Diablo would not exist without that game.
This is Triple Jump. Their lists always have at least one easily avoidable flaw when they attempt to cover retro titles. I can't tell whether it's intentional or not. They proudly put up a video once, where they mock NES games and treat giving them like torturing their victim. And not the bad games, either. Little Nemo was designed by sadomasochists who live for children's tears, but if you enjoy difficult platformers that aren't designed to just make cruel jokes at your expense, there's a lot to recommend. But they couldn't tell. It came with a generic NES clone, and so they assumed it must be just as bad as the system that housed it.
Did you really say that Justice League Heroes came out a year before Diablo? Diablo came out in '96 I believe, while the XBox and PS2 weren't around until '01 and '00 respectively. Wtf?
Even if you're just reading the script and weren't the one writing it, how do you mess up knowing when Diablo came out? I see what happened here though: Justice League Heroes: 2006 Diablo: 1997. Someone saw the final digit and disregarded the first three.
I can't believe Lego Batman 2 isn't on this list! Yes, it's technically a batman game! But you can fly Superman around the open world and the theme song plays in the background! So, in my opinion, it's also a Superman game!
It says a lot to the quality and amount of superman games when; 1. The whole video is under half an hour 2. They had to include education games and justice League games 3. They struggled to say anything good about the entries until it was into the top 10 4. Even before watching it I predicted that the 2 injustice games would be top Great video regardless, loved the 'my hero' reference, credit to Ben / the script writer x
Fun Fact: Sunsoft were planning to release a Superman game for the NES. It was somewhat similar to their game released on the Sega systems. Two leaked roms exist, with a later rom replacing the Superman licence with a original character called Sunman. The latter version was closest to completion, but was cancelled at the last minute. You can find rom hacks of the more complete Sunman version that restores Superman. Although, the game itself was rather average at best from what I hear.
@Badass Batman every game Batman was in was a failure until the Arkham games, and most Spider-Man games sucked until they figured out the web swinging mechanics. Superman is no more OP than any other fictional character. Tbh idk why Batman stans say he's too overpowered and then in the same breath argue that Batman can beat him
@@THNF89 Nope, there were a numbers of very great before in the 8 bit and 16bit generations. The only really bad games came during the PS1/N64 and PS2/GC/Xbox era
@@THNF89 Batman on nes, Batman returns and the adventures of Batman and Robin in snes , and Batman. Begins were all good games. For Spidey, Maximum Carnage was cool.
You guys don't seem to like the Superman character much. He is a good character when done right. Go read "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way" (despite the title, the story's appeal is global).
As a lifelong Superman fan, I’ve always been dying to see a game comparable to Batman’s Arkham series. Maybe someday… but the realist in me doubts it’ll ever happen.
Yeah sadly unless you're Batman or Spider-Man, getting a game at all let alone a good game is rare. I guess X-men/Wolverine have a good amount of decent games. Hulk has like one good game out of a total of 3 games. Unless I'm forgetting something I think every other comic book hero falls on a scale of having no games, having bad games, and or having mediocre games. It's a sad reality...
I'm sorry, but I don't count fighting games, like Injustice, as character games. In my opinion, it only counts if the game is strictly focused on the character in question. Injustice is NOT a Superman or a Batman game, it's a Justice League game. Hate me all you want for saying it, but I'm not changing my mind about it.
Wait a sec, did I miss the Lego Batman 2 and 3 entries in this rundown? Not only is the character fun to play and comes complete with most of Superman’s actual powers but you also get John Williams’ iconic theme music whenever you take to the skies. Surely this counts under your rules..?
I am guessing they were disqualified due to falling under the Lego Batman brand. I never understood the branding of those sequels, I always thought they should've dropped Batman & released them as Lego DC Justice League games. It took them until 2018's Lego DC Super-Villains to drop the Lego Batman branding.
@@i.m.evilhomer5084 I don't blame you though...it would definitely make more sense to call it Lego Justice League...i mean, they don't call the Lego Avengers games, Lego Captain America.
Death and return was good. Great graphics and sfx and even though it was repetitive it was always fun. There were also small differences among the characters in terms of special moves and strike combos, but the principles for each were the same. Underrated.
I actually liked the Xbox Superman, but I genuinely loved Shadow of Apokolips. Now I’m hoping Injustice 3 brings back a good guy Superman. At least for the multiverse, have a good Superman to play as.
They didn't remove arcade mode in Injustice 2, they just made it a pain in the ass to find for first timers. For some silly reason it's tucked away in the Multiverse labeled as the "Battle Simulator" and no I cannot begin to fathom why.
Superman has the same problem in games he has in films... He's so ungodly OP that he's hard to make a game/film around. We can only see Kryptonite so many times. How do you make an engaging property about someone too powerful to be hurt? I don't want to call Supe's boring, but threat dictates interest and if someone is perceived to not have any viable threats people will mostly find them uninteresting. So if we ever want an AMAZING Superman film/game... he's going to need to be nerfed, or they're going to have to introduce a threats that makes Superman seem inadequate.
Yeah, that's right, overpowered protagonists have NEVER had good video games about them. Kratos? Dante? Kirby? Asura? Sun Wukong? Those guys have NEVER had a good video game because they are simply too OP.
@@8bitdiedie Overpowered isn't invincible. All of them can easily be felled by common enemies. They aren't flying at the speed of light. They aren't bulletproof.. And outside of Kirby they feel like powered-up versions of humans. There's still an element of danger and tension to every encounter. But Superman is far beyond that... Unless every enemy is going to have magic or krytonite... there's literally nothing they can do. Again, if it was that easy... We would have 1 good superman game. When the best superman game ever made was TMNT-style arcade beat em' up that came out 30 years ago (and it's not even THAT great), you know you're in a bad place. Superman is one of the most popular characters OF ALL TIME (he's more popular and well known than all the characters you mentioned combined) , and he can't/doesn't get good video games? Its 100% because a good AND FAITHFUL superman game is hard to pull off.
I love that you did this, and I respect all the work that goes into it (a definite thumbs-up! 😀), but it kind of hurts my heart that you didn't include the actual best game with Superman in its title: The Multipath Adventures of Superman. Within months of Superman 64, it did Telltale games before Telltale Games did Telltale games. I also respectfully disagree that the 2600 game is so low. It's a horrible gaming experience here and now, but it really did bring a lot of new things to videogames in general. The pause feature was just the tip of the iceberg. Sorry if I'm sounding negative here -- you guys really do great work on this channel, in general. Those are just a couple of things I really want people recognize.
"The only memorable thing the character ever did was DIE!" The timing for that statement where it took a sudden dark turn, I was dying with laughter 🤣🤣🤣
Thermoman reference seriously 😀 goddamn well done boys long time watcher from first time commenter ( been the ghost at the feast since name redacted if you wanna get serious about this ) also props to your writer the real hero keep up the good work.
Literally Arkham with henchmen being intergang, robots from luthor and toyman, kryptonians from the phantom-zone with a low amount of solar-power (and like a dozen others I could mention). You know the quickfire gadgets in batman? Same thing with superman with heat vision and arctic breath but then there's another set with left trigger instead of right, with physical moves like Ground smash, tornado spin, sonic clap, and throw. Skill tree could allow for enhancements like tornado spin makes an actual tornado affecting a larger vacinity, another upgrade would have him throw it. Oh you think I forgot about special-combo moves? Ice-block stun, multi-blast heat vision to quickly stun a bunch of guys, throw a piece of the ground, and the last one would be heat vision and arctic breath at the same time, which would insta-kill. You could chain together moves like tornado spin and heat vision to get more guys with one attack, and all of this is founded on the idea that better moves cost more solar meter. Solar meter is a logical nerf since he can exhaust his body of it in comics if he uses too much power too quickly. Furthermore a skill tree could also affect the special combo moves like the move where you rip up ground and throw it? If you hold the buttons, costing more solar-meter, he rips ground (earthquaking to protect himself with a shockwave) and lifts it so as to erupt ground in a forward-moving trail. This would be one of various attacks that bounce enemies, further integrating flight into the combat.
25: Superman 64 24: Superman: The Game 23: Superman: Activity Centre 22: Superman (Atari 2600) 21: Superman: The Greatest Hero 20: Justice League: Injustice For All 19: Superman: Man of Steel 18: Justice League: Chronicles 17: Superman Returns Fortress of Solitude 16: Superman (Gameboy) 15: Superman: Man of Steel (MS) 14: Justice League: Heroes United 13: Justice League: Task Force 12: Superman: Man of Steel (XBox) 11: Superman (NES) 10: Countdown to Apokolips 9: Superman Returns 8: Superman (Arcade) 7: Death and Return of Superman 6: Injustice Arcade 5: Justice League: Heroes 4: Superman Returns (XBox 360) 3: Shadow of Apokolips 2: Injustice: Gods Among Us 1: Injustice 2
Technically Injustice 2 didn't remove the arcade mode, it just awkwardly hid it in the online multiverse mode....which is really really weird and clunky.
The fact that a movie tie-in game is considered the best solo Superman game really says a lot about this character's luck with videogames. I hope he eventually gets a good game experience,though it would be a very hard task considering how OP he is,a Metropolis open world game would be kind of pointless if you can just explore the entirety of it in a few seconds because of how fast his flying is,i feel a linear game would be the best way to properly adapt his abilities into videogame format.
Well that was the case for Spider man for a long time. Spider man 2 tie ingame was considered the best Spider man game for nearly 20 years until the PS4 Spider man came along
@@Rorujin Stop watching their videos just put your negativity in the comments section then. There's plenty of other free content out there for you to enjoy and not shit on buddy
I was really hoping rocksteady was going to give us a superman game with the template like Superman Returns, but instead we're going to get a half ass suicide squad game that no one asked for
The 2600 game is apparently misunderstood to you much like E.T. is to most people. Take Luthor’s henchmen to jail and repair the bridge. Pretty easy really and a rather advanced game for the 2600 at the time. The Sears version is rather rare and pricey.
I love the TripleJump Worst To Best series and the fact that in this one it took until the 4th place to have something good to say about the game is simply fantastic
I love death and return of superman it may not have a multi-player but the action and collision detection is crisp unlike say LJN's maximum carnage which is choppy as hell and sound effects are crackling sticks.
The fact that Superman 64 is at the bottom of this list proves how legendary it is.
I’m a lifelong gamer and I fully support this comment.
It would actually be terrifying if superman 64 wasn’t at the bottom of this list. Because it would mean that there is something worst out there.

They didn't remove arcade mode in Injustice 2, they just made it a pain in the ass to find for first timers. For some silly reason it's tucked away in the Multiverse labeled as the "Battle Simulator" and no I cannot begin to fathom why.
Thank you for pronouncing Mxyzptlk correctly!
Yet he struggles with Metallo.
@@metamar1034 I have the same conversation with my kids
Read the title and then said aloud, "Is there a best?"
Supes has the worst games of any superhero hands down
The arcade game was at least competent for its time
Superman has the same problem in games he has in films... He's so ungodly OP that he's hard to make a game/film around. We can only see Kryptonite so many times. How do you make an engaging property about someone too powerful to be hurt? I don't want to call Supe's boring, but threat dictates interest and if someone is perceived to not have any viable threats people will mostly find them uninteresting.
So if we ever want an AMAZING Superman film/game... he's going to need to be nerfed, or they're going to have to introduce a threats that makes Superman seem inadequate.
His enemies are just that, powerful enough to own him
not all superman movie are bad. the reeves movies (1 &2) and superman returnes are some great superman movies by the critics.
Yeah, that's right, overpowered protagonists have NEVER had good video games about them. Kratos? Dante? Kirby? Asura? Sun Wukong? Those guys have NEVER had a good video game because they are simply too OP.
@@8bitdiedie Overpowered isn't invincible. All of them can easily be felled by common enemies. They aren't flying at the speed of light. They aren't bulletproof.. And outside of Kirby they feel like powered-up versions of humans. There's still an element of danger and tension to every encounter.
But Superman is far beyond that... Unless every enemy is going to have magic or krytonite... there's literally nothing they can do.
Again, if it was that easy... We would have 1 good superman game. When the best superman game ever made was TMNT-style arcade beat em' up that came out 30 years ago (and it's not even THAT great), you know you're in a bad place.
Superman is one of the most popular characters OF ALL TIME (he's more popular and well known than all the characters you mentioned combined) , and he can't/doesn't get good video games? Its 100% because a good AND FAITHFUL superman game is hard to pull off.
Ben may not want to include mobile games, but I want to hear him whinge about them.
I love that you did this, and I respect all the work that goes into it (a definite thumbs-up! 😀), but it kind of hurts my heart that you didn't include the actual best game with Superman in its title: The Multipath Adventures of Superman. Within months of Superman 64, it did Telltale games before Telltale Games did Telltale games.
I also respectfully disagree that the 2600 game is so low. It's a horrible gaming experience here and now, but it really did bring a lot of new things to videogames in general. The pause feature was just the tip of the iceberg.
Sorry if I'm sounding negative here -- you guys really do great work on this channel, in general. Those are just a couple of things I really want people recognize.
I knew one of had to bring up Multipath.
Shadow of Apokolips is my personal fav
"The only memorable thing the character ever did was DIE!" The timing for that statement where it took a sudden dark turn, I was dying with laughter 🤣🤣🤣
Thermoman reference seriously 😀 goddamn well done boys long time watcher from first time commenter ( been the ghost at the feast since name redacted if you wanna get serious about this ) also props to your writer the real hero keep up the good work.
"none of them are Ardal O'Hanlon"
Yeah, I want to high five the script writer for that one, such an obscure UK TV reference 😊
obviously Superman is always better than Batman, even if you don't want to accept the truth
Gamers to Superman: The burning you feel it is SHAME
Perfect! Format, jokes, material top banana! Superman games ranked from legendary crrrrapppp to wild card, but what else to do with Superman.
Literally Arkham with henchmen being intergang, robots from luthor and toyman, kryptonians from the phantom-zone with a low amount of solar-power (and like a dozen others I could mention).
You know the quickfire gadgets in batman? Same thing with superman with heat vision and arctic breath but then there's another set with left trigger instead of right, with physical moves like Ground smash, tornado spin, sonic clap, and throw.
Skill tree could allow for enhancements like tornado spin makes an actual tornado affecting a larger vacinity, another upgrade would have him throw it.
Oh you think I forgot about special-combo moves? Ice-block stun, multi-blast heat vision to quickly stun a bunch of guys, throw a piece of the ground, and the last one would be heat vision and arctic breath at the same time, which would insta-kill.
You could chain together moves like tornado spin and heat vision to get more guys with one attack, and all of this is founded on the idea that better moves cost more solar meter.
Solar meter is a logical nerf since he can exhaust his body of it in comics if he uses too much power too quickly.
Furthermore a skill tree could also affect the special combo moves like the move where you rip up ground and throw it? If you hold the buttons, costing more solar-meter, he rips ground (earthquaking to protect himself with a shockwave) and lifts it so as to erupt ground in a forward-moving trail. This would be one of various attacks that bounce enemies, further integrating flight into the combat.
I loved the Superman Shadow of Apokolips, Justice League Heroes, Injustice Gods Among Us 1 & 2, and Death and Return of Superman.

music playing the background for Superman: Man of Steel at 17:19?
Technically Injustice 2 didn't remove the arcade mode, it just awkwardly hid it in the online multiverse mode....which is really really weird and clunky.
The fact that a movie tie-in game is considered the best solo Superman game really says a lot about this character's luck with videogames.
I hope he eventually gets a good game experience,though it would be a very hard task considering how OP he is,a Metropolis open world game would be kind of pointless if you can just explore the entirety of it in a few seconds because of how fast his flying is,i feel a linear game would be the best way to properly adapt his abilities into videogame format.
And even then they said it's a good framework for a superman game. It just needs to be put into a better game.
Well that was the case for Spider man for a long time. Spider man 2 tie ingame was considered the best Spider man game for nearly 20 years until the PS4 Spider man came along
i swear Ben and Peter are just one person cause I can't friggin tell the difference between their voices
That Superman: Man of Steel game at #16 wasn't actually released on any consoles, but rather a bunch of different home microcomputers.
"Madame Tussaud's Task Force."
Apply cold water to melted area!
Are we still holding out hope for a Rocksteady Superman game?
I’d give an organ for this.
Those rumours were false.
How do you not know when Diablo came out?
Because these guys are hacks.
@@Rorujin Stop watching their videos just put your negativity in the comments section then. There's plenty of other free content out there for you to enjoy and not shit on buddy
I was really hoping rocksteady was going to give us a superman game with the template like Superman Returns, but instead we're going to get a half ass suicide squad game that no one asked for
Nobody:
NES: You know what I think we need? Another Superman game
You know a game is bad when it's ranked lower than educational games
9:42 i died laughing when he said, it sounds like a ⚽ team. Justice League "UNITED" 🤣😂🤣🤣
does anyone know what is the name of the game at" 1:50 "?? pls let me know
The 2600 game is apparently misunderstood to you much like E.T. is to most people. Take Luthor’s henchmen to jail and repair the bridge. Pretty easy really and a rather advanced game for the 2600 at the time. The Sears version is rather rare and pricey.
This is like comparing this weeks garbage, with last week’s garbage, with last month’s garbage
I actually do kinda prefer Injustice 2, to Injustice Gods Among Us.
I love the TripleJump Worst To Best series and the fact that in this one it took until the 4th place to have something good to say about the game is simply fantastic
17:40 I PLAYED THIS GAME AS A LIL' KID ON SEGA GENESIS!!! Nostalgia, now I remember it
Haha poor old Clark, can’t catch a break. I’d love to see a total revamp on the character! Maybe Tom Holland? He’s in every thing now it seems.
I love shadow of Apokalips
My brother won the game of trying to swallow a Atari Joystick whole.
I'm a Superman fan and this list just makes me sad, I really wish someone could make a really good Superman game one of these days. 😢
I think Spyro is a good contender for this format. Also there being a fan of the purple dragon in the crew would make it a bit more personal.
I love death and return of superman it may not have a multi-player but the action and collision detection is crisp unlike say LJN's maximum carnage which is choppy as hell and sound effects are crackling sticks.
Oh yeah!
Here we go!
God, I hope I don’t die before I get to see a good Superman game.
I played hours upon hours of Superman Atari as a kid. Superman Returns Xbox 360 was an underrated game.
Just so hard to make a character who is effectively invincible interesting in a video game form
Nice voice bro I enjoyed it the whole way
I just started the video…but Death and Return of Superman must be #1
Super video 😉
I just realised, Ben sounds like Matt Berry. It's actually quite impressive.
What’s the song @ 9:40? I need it
It's a real shame that we're getting a suicide squad game before we get a decent superman game.
