Warner Brothers is working on new DC games, but sadly not Superman

With Suicide Squad KTJL now available on PS5 and Xbox, WB Games is developing new DC Comics games, but Superman isn't a priority right now.

Gladly*

not another GaaS, plz WB

WB execs are big into live service games, sadly. They got the wrong memo that most other studios have gotten about live service games not being as successful because of the existing pool of them and having to be a hit immediately to truly succeed. Epic, EA, and Riot aren't making all that money to let others get in on their action. They're making it as hard as can be for people to get a piece of that pie.

With Spider-Man doing well, with an upcoming Wolverine game coming down the line, and the leak that an X-Men game is coming to PlayStation, and games like Guardians of the Galaxy doing well, just give us a Justice League game. I'm sick of just seeing Batman made even though I like Batman.

I want a Superman game. But not if the developers aren't capable of making a great game with the character. I can see different levels made with the different characters to show their powers in Justice League. Even an underwater Aquaman level where you can use his communication powers with sea creatures would be great. With a boss battle with Black Manta in and out of the water. A Flash level running through the streets against Reverse Flash, in the sky and in space battles with Green Lantern or Superman. Fighting on Paradise Island with Wonder Woman, etc. Either fighting the Legion of Doom or Brainiac controlling villains. Just something Epic. You could mix and match super heroes on different levels. But the game would be much harder to play as those characters because that hero would be at a disadvantage.

That's what I want anyway. It doesn't just have to be Superman only.

Give me a Lobo or a Green Arrow game already.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Superman character just doesn't work in a video game. Between his abilities and his singular weakness, any game where you actually *feel* like Superman will basically have you in god mode the whole time.

The whole bad guys using kryptonite to weaken him thing is super boring at this point. Also, an origin story where he's slowly learning his powers will only work for one game before you run into the same problems again. You can't take away his powers as an adult because it's a cheap gimmick and people hate it. He's just not a good character to build a game around.

Superman as the bad guy where you're struggling to survive and take him down? Eh, maybe, but it wouldn't be a Superman game anyway at that point.

[RaidenBlack]

A Superman game will work for a semi-open world game not set on Earth but on another hostile planet with pockets of Kryptonite debris/formations and other natural hostilities + super mutant enemies.
This will limit his ever uber powerful abilities and will force players to play accordingly & strategically.
Now don't comment below, "but what's the point? we want an open world Supes game set on Earth" coz that ain't feasible as porkChop listed above.
One Superman game like this is still better than no Superman game.

It seems like younger generations love the feeling of being OP with no struggle whatsoever if current popular entertainment is anything to go by.

As long as its not gaas or I hope it does just as poorly as Ssktjl

[CrimsonWing69]

I’d be more excited if I knew the publisher wasn’t so GaSSy.

[Profchaos]

I refuse to be excited about a Superman game ever again wb already stole my pocket money once

[Jayszen]

A Superman game could only work if the villian(s) were able to fight Supes to a standstill and beat him. This is not possible with the character given his abilities. One could perhaps have Superman battle someone who is able to beat him through his single weakness - Kryptonite, such as in "The Dark Night Returns" where an older Batman used his brains and tech but this could only be the highpoint and not enough for a whole game. Spider-man works in a game because he is beatable and often weaker than the villains he has to beat.

[Chocoburger]

How many good Superman games exist? One or maybe two? And both are sidescrolling brawlers, Superman the arcade game by Taito, and maybe The Death and Return of Superman on SNES / GEN by Blizzard. Its hard to make a game for this character, though not impossible.

[BillyCrystals]

Good, Superman is too powerful and a bit of a chode.

[OneLove]

Those douce bags need to do more with the nemesis system they patented

[CobraKai]

Of course not. Why would they? He’s only one of the biggest characters ever.

[Miacosa]

Wonder Woman by Monolith.

[TheEnigma313]

Superman is too hard of a game to make because of his power. The original Rocksteady could have pulled it off. It wll take a talented studio to do it.

[raWfodog]

Maybe a Flash game?
