If its by Warner Bros does that mean it will be a gun shooting 3rd person action packed street level game? 30FPS!

Not surprised, since James Gunn already said that he has plans for the character in the medium.

The best case scenario would be an Arkhamverse Superman game developed by Rocksteady with a famous comic book writer attached. But based on what's already been said, it will probably be a tie-in to the new DCU cinematic universe with some of the same actors. I'm hoping for the former, though.




Either way, a good Superman game is long overdue.

That was the original plan for RockSteady. Maybe they didn't scrap everything for Suicide Squad.

Superman is too powerful for a video game, he can level an entire city in seconds and is almost invincible. How do you make a game qith a charecter like that?

-Down power him for most the game. Death and Return of Superman or some Lex Luthor scheme
-Large scale destroyable cities
-Give him a “conscious” where he wont break buildings and cities
-Strong enemies who arent human lol

I mean he doesnt go leveling cities all the time in the comics.

At that point, is it even a Superman game?

How is this even a question. Superman has enemies and weaknesses like any other super hero. It's like asking "how did they make more movies or comics after Thanos got the infinity gauntlet 🤔"

But he doesnt go around smasing cities in the comics? So yes.

Can make it based on another planet Too.

And the best Superman game so far has been Death and Return of Superman where he was downgraded for most the game

Man, I just have 0 imagination it seems…..I simply cannot see decent gameplay with a character that has flying super powers. Maybe a flight sim?

So asked our AI overlord…..

Sure, here's a brief design of a game based around Superman:

Title: Superman: City of Heroes

Gameplay: Superman: City of Heroes is an open-world action-adventure game that allows players to take on the role of the iconic superhero, Superman. The game is set in the bustling city of Metropolis, where players will have the freedom to fly around the city and use their powers to save citizens and fight villains.

Players will be able to explore the city freely, and there will be a variety of side missions and challenges to complete, such as stopping robberies and rescuing people from burning buildings. The main story will revolve around a group of villains led by Lex Luthor, who are planning to take over the city and defeat Superman once and for all.

Game mechanics: The game will feature a variety of mechanics to make players feel like they are truly playing as Superman. Players will be able to fly around the city freely, using their x-ray vision and super hearing to locate threats and people in danger. They can also use their super strength and heat vision to take down enemies and obstacles.

As players progress through the game, they will unlock new abilities and upgrades for Superman, such as increased speed, improved durability, and new fighting techniques. They will also encounter other characters from the Superman universe, such as Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, who will provide missions and support throughout the game.

Graphics and Sound: The game will feature stunning visuals and realistic physics, allowing players to truly feel like they are flying through the city. The sound design will also be immersive, with a soaring soundtrack and realistic sound effects for Superman's powers and movements.

Platforms: The game will be available on major consoles such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, as well as on PC.

Overall, Superman: City of Heroes will provide an exciting and immersive experience for fans of the iconic superhero, allowing them to live out their dreams of being the Man of Steel and saving the city of Metropolis.

Henry Caville was the best superman since Reeves.

They could do a Superman game with all of the super-powers of Superman and make the game bad-arse. To avoid boredom of being an unstoppable, unkillable machine, without having to resort to nerfing or making the character a fanny, they could make it a VR game.

Chuck in a morality system where you can be good or bad superman, with different endings, and you could make Supes are powerful as you like. Fly, smash shit up, break buildings and go medieval on many an arse, all in VR.
