As with ALL beat em ups the story is only secondary to the actual action.
I'd like to kindly point you in the direction of Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe.
While that game may be less-than-stellar in many ways, the one thing I praise most about it is that the game actually has a story to it. One that isn't left in the background as a barely-mentioned excuse, and has the action take place AROUND it.
Netherealm Studios recent Mortal Kombat reboot (which I personally refuse to call Mortal Kombat 9. THERE'S NO NUMBER IN THE TITLE, DAMMIT!) is yet another prime example of the story being brought to the forefront in the single-player campaign, even if that story is a re-imagining of the events of the first three games.
As for the idea of Superman becoming an evil dictator, I quite like it. While it isn't exactly new, its not something that is done often outside of the comics. Not to mention, its nice to see that at least some writers out there genuinely realize the potential for effectively making Superman a God.
To quote Batman himself...
"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him..."
We all have our problems, some just hide it better.
