The funniest thing is that the superhero they have a problem with is Superman.
If it were Batman, that would be different. Batman isn't a pure-hearted hero, he's a more complex character. If it had been someone in the X-Men, or pretty much any Avenger other than Captain America, there would be room for a discussion.
But, Superman is such a good, kind-hearted hero that it's basically impossible to be a good person and be anti-Superman.
The biggest super hero fan I know said that he doesn't like Superman. Confused by this I asked him why, and he had a pretty good point.
His reason was that, Superman generally isn't physically challenged. In most cases the only issue he faces is trying to figure out what is going on. After that, Superman wins every time. The only exception is with kryptonite. His literal only weakness.
So all plot lines boil down to a mystery, followed by some flashy scenes of Superman going Superman stuff, the end; with the only real exception being "bad guys have kryptonite". It's boring.
And you know what? He makes a good point.
None of this goes against anything you say, it's just one person's opinion (not even mine). The only reason I'm posting this is to say, it's possible to dislike Superman content, but that doesn't and shouldn't imply someone is anti-Superman.
Food for thought.
It's probably the main reason that there are games about pretty much every superhero going, but Superman always gets skipped. Superman 64 is the classic example, due to how dire it was. There's been a few attempts since then, but nothing popular and the last was about 20 years ago.
The only real threat to Superman is to attack the things he cares about.
I kind of like the subversion of Superman type characters, like Dr Manhattan (what if Superman was indifferent?) or Homelander (what if Superman was a cunt?)
I forget the title but there was a Superman game on original Xbox that gave Metropolis a health bar, Not Superman.
Beating up bad guys, stopping disasters and completing missions helped the city survive. Getting hit meant a few seconds where you were inactive and the city might take more damage.
It was a pretty inspired idea honestly. I don't think the game was excellent but good design choice.
Theater was the Superman Returns movie tie-in. The game wasn't good, but the health system for the city was a neat idea, and the flying was AMAZING.
There's never been a bad game with an element I enjoyed so much as Superman Returns and the flying.
