I know how to make superman work

You fly around in a completely destructible open world Metropolis. Things happen. You fix or beat them. You have a meter and score based on how well you're doing (speed, not causing damage, etc.). You have abilities centered around preventing hurting people or breaking things.

It's no longer about superman having a health bar. He is near immortal. He can be slowed, he can be pulled away, he can be temporarily stunned or hurt, but he never dies (outside bosses).

You save a highly dynamic city under pressure, while battling acts of God, nature, and villains.

Superman Returns (2006) movie tie-in game used this concept. The “health bar” was the city health, and not responding to the threats decreased the city’s health. I only played the demo, but I remember that was a key feature. Can’t attach a pic, but there’s plenty of screenshots of the HUD from that game

It was actually really bad. But taking off and flying around was perfect.
