Other than DC Universe Online and the Superman Returns video game Superman hasn't been represented in the video game medium very much, although it was announced a couple of days ago that he would be in Lego Batman 2. With the success of Batman Arkham City a lot of Superman fans have been wanting Rocksteady to take a crack at The Man of Steel. What do you guys thinks of this concept art?

The look on supes face is kinda retarded.I wonder if we'll ever have a decent Superman game.

Are these from this?



If yes...damn you, Factor 5, for closing before making this happen.

That game could have been good, I like the concept art for the villains, but not sure about Supes though.

a good superman should have been done years ago but most of these devs are too pussy to take on the challenge of superman.


if the rumars are true that rocksteady plans on tackling supes as there next game i can die a happyman


so long as they dont confuse him with batman and make him weak for gameplay purposes.

Poor Factor 5. I was so looking forward to a 4th Rogue Squadron game...

Not of a fan. The artist was wandering too far from the source material, but that's just my opinion.

Well gosh... that looks good. I hate seeing things that could have been... they look so much better when you never had it in your hands.

i dont want rock steady to make a supes game, they are more used to makeing real world games, the only way it could live up to the arkham games if it was made by bethesda, in a completly free roam metropilis, with a main story, and a bunch of quests, you could have it so everyonce in a while a boom tube opens up and you have to destroy the connected motherbox, much oblvion gates/dragon events in oblivion and skyrim, also during combat (first person) you would switch through your powers menu to select, laser vision, ice breath, superspeed, x ray vision, and others, only two at a time though, you could even have guild type stuff, for certain super hero teams, you would be able to fly, but only as long as your stanima aloud it, and invicibilty would be taken away, but you could also upgrade an what not

Man that looked so cool I wish they would release copies of canceled games so we can see how they are.

Rocksteady should definitely make a Superman game. Set it and other DC games in the same universe as Arkham City, that would be amazing.

Of course it was canceled and of course no one picked up the reigns for it. This would have made a crap load of money. Good ideas are always thrown away! Zack Snyder would have never have been able to be chosen for his horrible version of Man of Steel either. They'd be like, "Why does your Superman look like garbage?" and "Why aren't these cool characters in your script?"

THE 52 SUIT IS GARBAGE!!!

Whoah that looks cool. I wish it was made.

@Jimdlux I'm with you on noth having faith in this MoS and the DCnU Superman, not only the suit, sucking.

Can't wait for an amazing Supes game. Wanna have the upgrade thing? make him start by escaping from Cadmus or Braniac, been away from sunlight for a long time so he's weaker. Upgrade from there. Finish the game kicking as in the iconic suit.

pretty cwl, I'm kinda hoping for a superman game by rocksteady because, I really enjoyed archam city, but I think it would be more fun to be able to fly around motropolis. but I swear to god if they do another spiderman game (by anyone) Im going to die. they just have so many spiderman games and half of them such!

@ gamerguy753 I agree after batman arkham city supes need something fresh and new and I think rocksteady is able to do it. And they put out a Spiderman game every Damn year. @ jimdlux the new supes suit is straight up crap my daughter could come up with something better then that

If Rocksteady makes a Superman game I'm 80% sure they would put it in the same universe as Arkham City. Metropolis was even mentioned in the game at one point. Anyway, I wish this was made!

This game looked like it had a lot of potential.

It's a shame Superman has such a bad history when it comes to video games.

I never played Superman: Shadow of Apokolips(sold my PS2), but in my opinion the best Superman game I've played was The Death and Return of Superman(SNES).
