I can speak for COH but not any other game. But I've never fought in these places.
The Charity Ball: A bunch of rich, fancy pants types gather in a sumptuous ball room to raise money for starving girl scouts...The bad guys crash the party to steal the take...and all the ladies jewelry.
A shopping mall: Great for a running battle. and I want to strong guy to pick up that fancy display car and toss it after the bad guys. Lots of things to accidentally destroy.
Junk Yard: old cars, and car crusher trap. a magnet on a crane souped up for the power armor guy.
Oh yeah, the villains need to lure the heroes here. This just screams PvP. with all the morphable terrain and cars to toss around.
A Cemetery that isn't a place for Tiki gods and zombies...lets do something different please.
A High School: The grounds, the cafeteria, the football arena. The whole place is a battle zone.
Hero High: similar to the above, but the Hall Monitors are robots gone amok, super science rays, and mutant kids shooting at anything that moves.
The island hideaway ala the Incredibles. Killer robots, volcano lairs, cool monorails, and minions who are as tough as the heroes. oh yeah, and a bright red James Bond destruct mechanism (don't push the candy red button!)

Yes I agree that cool settings can be half the fun of a superhero fight.
I want a moonbase
I also want a Dinosaur island
A radioactive desert
A haunted castle
A subterranean world
A visit to a florida swamp
And a few adventures set in other cities and near famous landmarks around the world
Lets see kung fu fighting on the Great Wall
An abandoned military base inside Mt. Rushmore taken over by villains
A giant Monster attacking Tokyo
Undead in the catacombs of Paris
A super villain challenging me to a fight in the Coliseum
The Ghost of Joseph Stalin seizing control of the Kremlin
Searching for a lost explorer in the jungles of ...well, Lots of places
An ancient curse bringing aliens to the Great Pyramids
And I want to explore other planets as well.
Understand, I'm not asking for a complete zone for each of these things
Just a lot of variety in Adventure locations.
If the missions I asked for get made, and are real popular maybe they can be expanded into complete zones later,
but since this is City of Titans, not World of Titans, and the lore focuses on this city
I don't think that's a direction they want to go, any time soon
Who knows maybe, in a few years,
update 23 with transform the game into World of Titans,
and turn all of these locations into complete zones,
and a few more I didn't think of as well.
If your dreams aren't big then you're not doing them right.

There was a junkyard map in one of the coh TFs. The abyss and striga isle met the island hideaway theme.
The ideas are good though. Vault, someone's mind, freefall, library and a botanic garden/zoo are some others
Hmmm. There were vault missions and I think one of the Dark Astoria arcs went inside someone's mind.
But like Brigh said, good ideas! Makes the world feel bigger and locations can be really fun.
OOH! Champions had one obscure little mission where you got shrunken down to like an inch tall. That was pretty cool.
But PUHLEASE give us an easy way to re-access missions and maps like Ouroboros did. It makes the world bigger and gets more mileage out of content.
And I HATE getting locked out of cool maps that I want to go back and kick around in : /.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
