Why is it that despite superhero movies dominating the film industry there's basically NO superhero video games these days? Besides the Arkham games there's basically nothing.

Most video game characters are technically already superheroes?

Because they are always poorly implemented and very poorly represent the characters.

The Arkham Games are exceptions to this because Batman is just a man in a cape with a lot of will, money, and know how.

Also Batman is arguably the most popular DC Superhero, easily surpassing Superman. So that popularity makes things involving him bound to be successful.

Capeshit is too pleb even for video games.

Simple;
Why would developers/publishers bother with comic characters and pay licensing when they already have their own recognized franchises and brands? People don't pick up a game and say "gee, Silver Surfer... I guess I have to buy this!", they buy the new CoD, AC, Dark Souls because they recognize their previous experience with the titles, or hear about them from their friends or media.

Also the risk associated with a new franchise with completely original characters or licensed characters is probably very similar.

That Avengers cancelled game looked pretty good.

This. Mister Chef and Half Life man are the equivalent of superheroes.

Every single video games makes you the super hero one man army. Do you just want licensed skins? Cuz that can be arranged...

And those are just like the most well known ones. That Flash game looked really promising too.
Welp, atleast WB is developing 2 unknown DC games. Probably going to be shit.
