Completely agree.
The problem with comic-book movie videogames aren't the comics.
The problem is the movie aspect. You are limited to playing out the plot depicted in the movie with almost no leeway. And when you do stray from the original plot, its poorly done.
I feel like movie videogames must do much better on the market than we assume because why else do we have Over The Hedge:The Videogame?

even though there were some good comic book games(like arkham asylum), comic video games hasnt reach its high potential, no where even near it. i think more comic book video gams should employ the similar methods of the batman game, not in terms of gameplay but how they approached the title. it would be so great to play another full and rich comic book video game ( like spider man or superman) but even in modern gaming there hasn't been many ,or any, games that fulfill that role with exception of batman. there are still many comics that dont have good games and i think there still a lot of potential for this genre to be one of the best.... one day.

All I have to say about the live showing of X-Play is "I like melons"...

That is a pretty awesome looking Sesslar Green Lantern. He would be a powerful one.
