File:Why Superhero Games Are Hard To Get Right-2

It isn’t too uncommon for fans of one particular nerdy interest to also be wrapped up in another. Ask any self-proclaimed geek if they read comic books, and they’ll also tell you about the novels they’ve been reading, the misadventures of their Dungeons and Dragons campaign, films or TV shows that they’re stuck in. But what makes an almost flat circle on the Venn Diagram of nerdom is comic books and video games.

And I mean, sure. There are plenty of people who play video games that DON’T read comics. A quick glance at any of the top-selling games of all time is filled with family-friendly Nintendo games, yearly sports titles, or whatever first-person shooter is in the zeitgeist at that moment. But for comic fans, they can more than likely tell you about that time they were addicted to World of Warcraft. Or that they still are.

Which is why it’s so odd that when game developers try to adapt a beloved comic book character to give the players a chance at feeling heroic, well. They can sometimes be the worst games of all time.

And with the recent release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the upcoming releases of Marvel’s Wolverine and Blade, and that one Flash fan-made demo that people have been thinking is a real thing but it’s probably not, let’s get into this.
