Superman by Rocksteady

Same could be said about Wolverine, But they found a way when they did the X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Ummm, no. Wolverine isn't in the same league.

Yes, he can't "die" from gunshots, electricity or being stabbed..but it would slow him down.

Superman is indestructible. Unless each area of the map is covered in kryponite and every single NPC has kryponite weapons....there isn't really much of a game if they follow the same formula.

In the first Superman movie, he was shot and it knocked him unconscious.

Changes would obviously have to be made. You can't make a stealth game starring Superman. You can make a perfectly good game with him, though. There are tons of ways to do so. Use his large rogues gallery that includes enemies that can use his weaknesses against him, and actually delve in to the universe some.

You could do Legion stuff, you could do what Superman Returns did and make parts of the game about protecting Metropolis and the people within it.

You could even do sections where he's Clark Kent tracking down a supervillain that can evade his senses by using investigative work in a similar way to the crime scene parts in the Arkham games.

It can be done, it just has to be done right.

It's going to take far more work though.

Of course. I mean, there's tons of heroes that could use the Arkham system with some tweaks. For "herald" level heroes though? You'd have to change the mechanics big time. I just think it's worth doing, especially if we get Justice League or Avengers games out of it.

Or just release more MUA/MH/DCUO type games. They balanced it well enough.

A new rumor regarding this game, This time from a anonymous 4chan poster

https://screenrant.com/rumor-rocksteady-superman-game-arkhamverse/

Yeah whatculture did a video on it too. Hopefully it's true and E3 has the goods at the latest.

I will be interesting to see how this turns out and it will be to nice to have a Rocksteady game with a different character universe.

However, after replaying Arkham Knight and enjoying it more the second time through, I'm kind of hoping for another Batman game.

The poster claims that the game will be officially unveiled a couple of weeks before the gaming expo E3 (which takes place from June 12-14)

I hope its true. All the details there sounded great. At least we don't have long to wait until we find out.

Glad you enjoyed it more that way, but getting 100% on Arkham Knight did very little to redeem its already existing problems for me, so I still say **** no to them doing another Batman game at this time.

I feel like they'd learn from their mistakes. I'm of the opinion that Arkham Knight was the worst of the Arkham games (including Origins) though it had the second best story. The overreliance on the batmobile and the disservice to Deathstroke are what killed it for me more than anything.

I'm just not sure what they'd do. They already gave Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, Joker, and Scarecrow their own awesome and finished stories (Joker dead, Bane and Scarecrow are a shell of who they used to be, Ra's died but he could come back I suppose since his corpse was taken). The only villain Batman has left that can carry a story is Riddler IMO. Unfortunately, that would leave the other big villains out of the game and leave us with the B-D list. Plus, Bruce is now outed as Batman now so I'm not sure how he'd continue to fund his crusading.

I feel like Superman has more possibilities at this point. Plus, Brainiac is my favorite Supes villain so starting the series off with him would be pretty exiting.

I'm really hoping it's true. Supes has gotten the shaft in video games for too long.

Flying through ring after ring.

The combat, especially aerially, is going to be the hard part. I heard mention that his flight would be involved, so my guess is that his speed would be too, which would allow them to bring over at least some aspects of the Arkham combat too.

Would be nice to have a good Superman video game iteration that didn't happen in a Batman game.

This rumor just wont die, will it?

A page for a game called Superman: World’s Finest popped up on Game System Requirements, a site dedicated to listing PC minimum and recommended specs for games.

Spotted by ResetEra, the page appears to be a recent addition, and though it does not feature any meaningful information, it does list Rocksteady as a developer.

A Superman game would be awesome, but what kind of environments and villains would you create for an alien god?

With the game awards shit around the corner, guess it is that time of the year for the rumor mill.
