    I agree with those points. The biggest one I want to see change with other superhero games, is the storyline and voice actors.

    I think superhero games need to leave the movie-stories, and stick with what made the superheros so likeable: the comics and any other story media that actually prompted the movies to be made in the first place. It's like going further from the source: Comics >>> movies >>> games. Instead of Comics >>> Movies [AND] comics >>> games.

    Also, voice actors from any past cartoons would only help. Their aim is to attract as many fans as possible. So have the original voice actors (or VA that are from the most-liked series), and you'll have the die-hard fans, or veteran fans who have like batman for a long time and would appreciate the voices, as well as the new fans that never heard the voices and wouldn't know the difference!
