The Spider-man games got drastically better the following generation with Spiderman/Spiderman 64 on the PS1/N64 and by the time he hit the PS2/GC/XBox Spider-man games were actually pretty great.
Batman is the one superhero who's had mostly good games throughout the years, with a dip in quality during the PS2 generation.
You're right, I didn't even think about those. The batman games have always been good. I'm looking forward to that new "marvel powers united game" by oculus. Hopefully this will take the super hero genre to the next level.
