Superman: Man of Steel movie is in production and we can expect a Superman game soon. But who will be the best fit to take on the project? Rocksteady Studios?
From VGC: "Warner Bros. Discovery today announced the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery Access x Rocksteady Studios Games Academy in the UK.
The initiative, which will open for applications on August 30, will be offered to individuals aged 18 or older in the UK, with an emphasis on applicants that may not have access to traditional pathways into the industry, such as university courses, or internships.
The course will be free and will offer financial assistance such as bursaries for travel or childcare. The deadline to apply is September 23, and candidates will be notified in mid-October."

These past years have been great for superhero gaming, and the future seems just as bright. Here are the 5 superhero games we're looking forward to the most.
With rumours of a new game in the works, Adam from WellPlayed highlights five developers that could do the IP justice.
Rocksteady and Sucker Punch I can do a great action pact Star Wars games. Especially Rocksteady with their great combat system. Great write-up.
Spiders has proven that they can land the feel of the earlier Bioware games well.
Give them a solid budget, and they'd probably put out something impressive.
Then there's always Obsidian. As far as I'm concerned, despite being rushed thus buggy, I thought their Kotor 2 was a better game to Bioware's original. Especially when you got to play the fan patched version that included a lot of the content they didn't have the chance to implement in the original release.
I disagree almost entirely with this article in regards to them being suitable for KOTOR, but would love a Star Wars from each of these devs.
Rocksteady would have a great sandbox filled with easter eggs to respect the lore of the universe, but KOTOR isn't an action brawler. They'd nail a Bounty Hunter game. Kojima would probably pull a Rian Johnson and throw the lore out the window, but if he was to focus on a specific genre I could see you being another Bounty Hunter infiltrating the Sith.
Sucker Punch could easily tackle something akin to Fallen Order mixed with elements of inFamous. Creative Assembly knows claustrophobic tension; I could imagine a side-story of a pilot that crash-lands onto a monster-infested area of a Sith-controlled planet.
Bluepoint would be the only studio of these I'd trust in these to respect the original gameplay systems.
Yep. None of those devs make deep rpgs.
That was more like, ''I like the games those devs made so let them make KOTOR.''
Larian Studios is one of the best RPG developers around, so I could see them making a phenomenal game. Unfortunately I don't think that will happen.
Superman is too overpowered for his own game, at least on earth anyway.
"Press X to fire laser beams out of your a$$ and kill everything... you win"
Maybe if it was based on Apokolips or something?
Stick to Batman Rocksteady, he's way cooler anyway.
Stick with batman please! I liked the dark, gritty feel of arkham asylum, I don't think that would work very well with superman. Maybe spiderman? Don't think I've ever played a decent spiderman game.
i think that they can make one of the best spiderman games ever! they know the formula, they just need to make it happen.
Superman is a great caracter...the thing is most peple dont understand it or want to. he is powered by the Sun, practicaly immortal (some fans especulate that he would live forever as long as under a yellow sun...and get more powerfull by the year as he lives under it...) and so on...a game with that caracter would not be that interesting at all..right? And yet some of the greatest of its comics arcs are where he dont have all that power or his enemies can take him nerarly/or as equals. Its a matter of making the game playable people....its possible.
Oh and by the way..all the power SM pushes around on the comics is he holding back....he never goes all out...THAT would be OP...heheheh
i think they should rocksteady showed everyone that they are the best at delevoping a real comic book game batman had sold really good and it was a good game and now with its sequel coming out i think they should make more comic heroes i think spiderman would be good as well and i know activision makes them but if rocksteady makes them then we know its going to be a big hit and sell well
