If I remember correctly, Shadow of Apokolips was....decent. And I remember the actual controls for Superman Returns being really good, but then they didn't give you anything particularly fun to do, so the only real enjoyment I got out of it was just flying around the city.
I don't think you'd ever be able to pull off a traditional action game with Superman, because as Funky already pointed out, he's ridiculously powerful and there are only a handful of things that could actually hurt him. You'd have to do things on a scale that I don't think has been done before in gaming yet, that may not be impossible but at the very least incredibly damn difficult for console hardware to handle.
I actually spent a good while trying to think of how to pull off a good Superman game, but I'll spare you the Kalyx-style essay and say that while I think it is entirely possible to make a really good one, it'd still be really fucking hard to pull off.
