The other side is the same but he is grinning. He has a red cape and a blue torso which has muscular printing, along with his signature red S logo against yellow, and a belt. His legs are blue with red hips.
In the Video Games
Superman appears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. In earlier images and clips, he appeared very similar to his appearance in 6862, but he didn't have cheek bones, smiles, and has his yellow S which appears in the comics, but was absent from the set and promotion, on the back of his cape.
More recently, he has been seen with his official face.
Superman is capable of using many of his super powers in-game, such as flight and super-strength. He can also use his super-breath to blow enemies away, freeze-breath to freeze enemies and water, his heat vision to defeat enemies and heat golden objects, and X-ray vision to find hidden objects behind special walls.
He is also available as Clark Kent who has all the same powers except flight.
Background
Born on the planet Krypton to scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara-El, Kal-El was sent to the planet Earth, Jor-El's only attempt to save his son during Krypton's destruction. Adopted by the Kent family, and renamed Clark Kent, he grew up in the town of Smallville, and would later learn of his Kryptonian powers and ancestry and became Superman, the Man of Steel. Superman's archenemy is Lex Luthor, who is jealous of Superman and wants to destroy him and look like a hero for doing it. Other enemies of Superman are Bizarro, Brainiac, and Zod. The Man of Steel also partners with Supergirl, his cousin, his clone, Superboy, and Lois Lane, a reporter Superman is romantically interested with. Superman also works with Batman and Wonder Woman occasionally. He and Batman mistrust each other and don't always get along very well, but Superman has shown attraction to Wonder Woman.
He is a member of the Justice League which also consists of Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and sometimes Nightwing, Batgirl, and Huntress, Hawkman, and Shazam.
In LEGO Batman
While he didn't actually appear in LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Superman was mentioned near the end of the game. He and Batman had already met before the events of the video game, and Superman had entrusted Batman with a kryptonite ring which he could use to stop Superman if necessary.
In LEGO Batman 2
Superman first appears after Batman and Robin defeat The Joker outside of the Gotham Funland. He apologizes to Batman for missing Bruce Wayne's Man of the Year award ceremony, and criticizes him for making a mess at the theater. Though Batman clearly dislikes Superman, Robin does.
He is next seen as one of the Superheroes The Martian Manhunter is monitoring when he checks on Bruce Wayne.
He later rescues Batman and Robin from the Batcave after The Joker and Lex Luthor destroy much of it and helps them escape. He is disappointed that Batman didn't tell him Luthor was involved, and accompanied him to the LexCorp aircraft after the Kryptonite while Robin stayed to repair the vehicles.
They infiltrate the aircraft, but when they reach the control deck, Batman is dropped through a trapdoor. Superman rescues him, and carries Batman to LexCorp in Metropolis.
From LexCorp, a large Joker-esque robot emerges and heads back to Gotham. Batman in a LexCorp aircraft and Superman fire at it, and then land on it. Lex emerges with Kryptonite and weakens Superman who falls. Batman saves him by gliding back to Gotham. Though most of his powers return, he is unable to fly and hunches over.
The robot hits at them, and they fall through the ground. It continues to make holes in the ground above the metro, but Superman uses his heat vision to destroy the left hand completely.
At the City Hall, Lex begins to give a speech and infects the crowd with a mind-altering gas so that they will vote for him. Superman destroys the gas emitting flower from the robot. Superman gives himself up to try and stop it enough that Batman can defeat it. Batman is chased by it with Robin in a multi-coloured Batmobile, and they create a Kryptonite trail to alert the Justice League.
When the robot attacks Wayne Tower, Superman quickly lunges under it to keep it from falling, and is helped by Wonder Woman to keep it up. They hold it until Green Lantern and The Flash repair the base. When he is relieved, Superman faints until after Joker and Luthor are defeated.
Aside from Luthor, Superman rogues Brainiac, General Zod, and Bizarro are confirmed to appear as well as Supergirl and Lois Lane, but none have roles in the story except Brainiac who has a cameo at the end. His pet, Krypto the Superdog, is also mentioned during Vicki Vale's news reports. He, Ace the Bathound, and Stretch-O-Mutt are nominees for the "Dog of the Year" award.
