I sincerely doubt the game is going to be good. I'm a Superman geek and would like the game to be awesome, but it just doesn't look like its going to be.

I don't really get the Doomsday mission as as being the first one they are introducing here. It should be an end game raid place because Doomsday is, by nature, so freakin powerful.
The other obstacle is the blatant presence of powers that are capable of doing nearly anything, from a creativity standpoint. Green Lantern Power Rings can freeze things, they can make a boxing glove, a giant, a laser beam, they can translate languages, protect and shield the user, analyize stuff, etc etc. Super speed can be used to generate heat, move objects in a method that is almost instantaneous, vibrate through walls (hello, exploits...).
The problem is that the DC universe already introduces power levels and capabilities that will be game breaking. I'm not saying that they can't account for Superman or Martian Manhunter, and then offer a toned down power level for PC's, but even a rookie member of the GLC is going to feel pretty limited if his powers are "boxing glove, cage, force field".
We'll see what they manage. I am excited about the title, regardless.
