Would Batman Vs Superman Make For An Amazing Video Game?

I know this sounds crazy, but at the same time just think about how amazing this could be. I mean the movie is looking like it might be huge, one serious blockbuster coming out in 2016.

But can you really think of a better battle then this? Or a better superhero video game that you would rather play. (Ok sadly this is not happening)

This is just to talk about how epic it would be, if movie companies actually did video games based off of the movie the right way.

Two of the most iconic superheroes of our time set to fight each other, Just wow, if you're hyped for the movie, doesn’t it seem like there should be a Video Game.

I know what you're thinking, No! Just about every Movie Game always sucks, this would be no different. Well yeah, I almost would agree with you, except, just this morning (while I was drinking my morning coffee) It came to me, just how this could work.

And yes a lot of good ideas come to me when I’m drinking coffee in the morning, I just don’t always write them down.

You see the problem with Movie Video Games is they always get the wrong team to make the game, so of course it sucks. They don’t do it with the Movie because they know it would fail big time, but for some reason they do it with the Video Game.

(So for example if they got no-name actors and a weak director, no-one would care about this movie) So they get Ben Affleck and the guy who played superman in the last superman movie.

-But what’s really needed, is for the movie companies to pick a Video Game company that can make the video game version of the movie. (and when picking this company, you choose a company that fits the game style you are trying to create, so a game company that has made something awesome and has experience in making something similar to what the Movie is like)

So I pick → Sucker Punch Productions because they made Infamous, and they would be the perfect company to create a superhero game of this type. Especially since Infamous was basically a superhero movie in itself.

So right now your saying, “ok, ok, but how does the video game play out.? How would it work?

I’m glad you asked, I see it playing out like this.

Your either Batman, or your Superman. And the game start’s with you picking which one you want to be. Once you choose, you're given a quick back-story of your character and then boom, your dropped right into the action, no warm-up.

Just drops you straight into it. Well not quite, but you get the idea, the City’s burning and it’s your job to save the world of course. -(The story of every superhero) There will be a slow build up before you even meet Superman or Batman depending on who you picked to start with.

One thing Infamous, did really well was slowing getting your powers up to speed, so you start off pretty weak, still more powers than anyone else but still not really that powerful just yet, you have to slowly build up your superpowers.

Same thing here, you would start off with things or powers and slowly get more powerful by the time you actually meet up with Batman or Superman.

This slow grind would be a big part of the game as it get’s you to start to feel like you are your character and you are becoming really good with his skills. You begin to believe you are the superhero. All building up to the iconic battle.

This would be the game, gamers would love, but it’s not the game we will get. Sadly it looks like there is no video game planned.

So do you agree, do you think this could be an awesome video game. Or should movie companies just forget making a game?

Arkham knight dlc?

[Crazyglues]

You could do that, that's actually not a bad idea..

[DillyDilly]

Im sure a Mobile game will be made

[Godmars290]

You would first have to make a good Superman game, then create a scale into what's become the model for a Batman game.

Also, the issue with movie games isn't - wholly - who they get to make them, but the relatively short amount of they're given. Which goes double in this era of games needing more production time.

The issue with a superman game is he's too super. It would be hard to make the player feel vulnerable while still making superman as super as he is. A DLC where you are batman and have to fight Superman would be cool though.

[gamejediben]

It's easy to be cynical and say it would be another crappy licensed game but then I think of power suit Batman punching Superman through a wall and I get goosebumps.

Fully destructible open world super hero game... In my mind that is the ultimate video game.

Once that is achieved, the gaming industry will be fresh out of innovations.

But for the moment, I'd be happy with BvS DLC for Arkham Knight.

[Malice-Flare]

of course it can be, however devs still need to solve how to do Superman right...

[Crazyglues]

Yeah I agree with that because the superman games in the past have been really bad...

[lex-1020]

The problem is that Superman is too super. The player wouldn't feel vulnerable. And if they did make you feel vulnerable they would have to do so without making Superman feel underpowered.

[_FantasmA_]

Yeah right. They'd call the game Batman vs Superman and only include Batman. They'd take out Superman and sell him in a season pass for 49.99.

I don't know, but I've been thinking that GTA V would make a great movie. Ok, maybe great is a stretch.

[Crazyglues]

It could be if it's done right, the thing is with GTA you can go a lot of ways with it, like is the movie about stealing cars, fast pace racing like Need for Speed movie, or is it more about the characters..

So then it would be more like Miami Vice movie, much more drama and all about the story.

I see it more like Gone in 60 seconds, stealing cars, lot of racing, and then a story around cops trying to catch them doing illegal things -Like in the movie -HEAT -

such a good movie / one of the scenes in that movie is kinda in the game / the scene where the armored trucks gets robbed...- https://www.youtube.com/wat...

They could really just do Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA V. I think that would make a great trilogy lol. The stories are already there.

Superman really can't have a good video game with the tech available. He is much too powerful and any steps to curb that power would take away what he is.

Unless it is a purely sandbox based game it can't work. Can't have a traditional health bar; the only way I see around this is to make an unconventional healthbar, like time or "destruction allowed"...but these have been tried before (Superman returns).

his flight is probably even bigger an issue because it creates a neccessity for a bigger world...metropolis. how do you fill that with content like arkham city?

Whoever figures this out will have my eternal gratitude. I really want a good superman game.

Just think about it though...how many games are successful that allow you to fly(not freefall, not glide, and not hover?)

This mechanic creates a game that has to be based on verticality rather than map size. The problem is...Metropolis...and invulnerability.

[Crazyglues]

This is a very good point, but I guess it's one that will be answered in the Movie, because however in the world Batman could somehow be able to fight Superman is the same way you do the game.

Is it because Batman has kryptonite, I just don't know, but whatever it is in the movie (the reason why he can even fight superman) then that's the same thing you could use in the game..
