Health meter: 
City destruction meter like in Superman Returns (during free roam and daily crimes, and during boss fights), during boss fights you'll have a city destruction meter, an energy meter and health meter.
 
Destruction meter (Starts at 0%): Increases when damage is sustained to Metropolis
Energy meter (Starts at 100%): Depletes when powers are used (heat vision, super breath, freeze breath)
Health meter (Starts at 100%): Superman begins to take damage to his health when his energy meter drops below 10%
 
You can fly up into the sky and recharge your energy, but while doing this the boss will cause destruction to the city, so you should only charge for a moment, otherwise you will lose if the meter reaches 100% destruction. 

Environment: 
Nearly everything should be destructible. Buildings, Windows, vehicles, create craters from dropping, (size of crater depends on the height and force from fall). While free roaming, if you were to fly into a building while flying at a fast speed parts of the building and glass will shatter or break, causing a slight increase in the destruction meter. The meter will go down gradually as construction workers make repairs to whatever gets damaged in the city. 

Free roam: 
During free roam if you cause too much destruction you will begin to be looked at as a problem and you will gain symbols of the S shield circled with a line through it, much like stars in GTA and other games. 

1 shield: Small forces of military will arrive and attempt to talk you down. 
2 shield: Tanks will arrive and military will begin to open fire on you
3 shield: Helicopters will use machine guns and missiles on you
4 shield: Jets arrive to increase fire power
5 shield: Members of the Justice League arrive to bring you down. (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Martian Manhunter) Taking any one of them out will result in Batman arriving in his Batwing and engage with kryptonite laced missiles. 


Story missions: These are just bullet points and general ideas.
 

I think they should use Mxyzptlk in a way similar to how they use Riddler in the Arkham series. Reality bending missions where Superman must restore order and trick him into saying his name backwards at the end of the quest. There should be about 10-20 of these types of side quests. Let’s face it, how many times can someone be tricked into saying their name backwards?
 

Toyman creates robots and other toys around Metropolis that vary in abilities. Some shoot bullets, others missiles, and others acid.


Lex creates Parasite to drain Superman's power and kill him


Lex creates Metallo with Superman's weakness to kill him


Lex controls a battlesuit from a hidden room at LexCorp that has the power to drain Superman's powers, emit Kryptonite blasts, and has super-strength and ability to withstand a lot of punishment from Superman. (Lex shouldn't be in the suit, because he'd get seriously injured.) Superman tracks down Lex and Lex goes to prison.


Doomsday arrives, fights Superman, Doomsday dies and Superman appears to as well. The Superbots from the fortress come to Superman and bring him to the Fortress and put him in a healing stasis in hopes he will recover. During the fight, part of the prison is damaged and severeal criminals escape, including Lex Luthor. During Superman's absense, Lex creates an alternate Superman from Superman’s blood.


Lex creates Bizarro from the blood of Superman found on Metallo's damaged body from his fight with Superman. But the blood has been exposed and adapted to Kryptonite thus making Bizarro immune to it. Lex thinks he can control this version of Superman. After a while Bizarro becomes erratic and Lex loses control of him. He begins causing destruction and doing the opposite of everything Superman does. After Superman recovers in the Fortress and learns of this he flys to Metropolis and battles Bizarro. 


Superman learns of a mysterious portal developing on the outskirts of Metropolis. Superman is transported to Warworld to fight the gladiators there, eventually putting Superman up against Mongul. 


When Superman is teleported back to Earth he crashes into a console in the Fortress of Solitude and accidentally opens the Phantom Zone. Zod comes out and fights Superman in the Fortress. Zod eventually knocks Superman back and retreats but Superman catches up to him and the second location of the fight is in the air above Smallville, (most notably above the Kent farm.) Seeing there may be a chance he won’t beat Superman, Zod vows to cause as much destruction and fatalities to the people of Earth. He flies to the closest major city, Metropolis. Superman must stop Zod before he destroys the whole city. At the end of the fight Superman gets behind Zod and puts him in a full nelson and with a sonic boom flies back to the Fortress and flies into the Phantom Zone. He rushes out and closes the Fortress, sealing Zod in yet again. 


A man arrives on Earth, by the name of Orion, and asks you to help them in a fight against the tyrant Darkseid.


Travel to Apokolips and aid the soldiers of New Genesis. Defeat Parademons along the way to your fight with Darkseid where Orion will assist you. Darkseid is defeated but activates a boom tube and escapes, and vows that he will have revenge and find Superman and destroy him and anyone who stands with him.
