Not necessarily. Superman has definitely been made powerful to the point of god-like abilities over the last 40 odd years, but he wasn't always so unstoppable. To think, the original Superman couldn't even fly. A video game version doesn't need to be able to move at the speed of light or be able to punch planets in half. Heck, there's even a few more modern versions of the character (see Darwyn Cooke's 'The New Frontier') that are more akin to the "Faster than a locomotive" type man-of-steel. Kryptonite isn't needed if Superman isn't a thousand times stronger than every enemy he faces.
As to the character being boring, there's enough people in the world who think otherwise to warrant a video game.
Using Superman was the only part I really liked out of Lego Batman 2.
