They should just fucking cool it with the superheroes. I know it was mostly Disney who milked the genre to death but at this point I have immediate fatigue when presented with yet another piece of comicbook media.
Make something else, try again with superheroes in 5-10 years.
They can’t make anything else because the creative types who can actually come up with interesting and compelling new ideas don’t get along with the business types that aggressively invaded the video game industry the instant it started making lots of money.
I think you are getting it wrong. They tried to sell this game to people who loved Batman Arkham series. And they were simply not interested in a live service, looter shooter, with a terrible story. They always loved a story-driven single player superhero game, which this is not.
Number of people interested in, what is at most a mediocre looter shooter are minimal at best. So, of course, it failed.
The thing is if you do that the other guy will just make a super-hero film in 4-9 years, collecting all the hard work you spent making the genre scarce again.
People kept making westerns for as long as they just barely made any money, I’m sure the same will happen with ‘capeshit’

Yeah, the target audience for this has been happily buying superhero games for a while.
This is just a really bad superhero game.
The issue was not that Superheroes are milked. It’s the gameplay isn’t fun and no one wants GaaS.
I stopped giving a fuck at like avengers 2 or 3. That was like 10 years ago, but they keep making em.
It is NOT the superheroes. They aren’t great, but it’s absolutely everything else.
