Superman looks drunk! I am all for "new takes", but considering we are yet to get a decent Superman game, we should put any "new takes" on hold until that is achieved.

Somewhere in some alternate timeline this game and the Wonder Woman TV show got made and the Arrow pilot was never picked up. Let's be glad we don't live there.

Looks cool. I mean, the design of the characters is meh, the art is decent as copncept art, but the concept it suggests for the game certainly seems interesting

Supes games have been shit! From the N65 version to the Superman Returns movie game.

This guy needs to go back and study the human form. Also, is Superman a greaser?

I really liked Superman Returns until I got through most of it and realized they just kept repeating the same villains over and over again. The game was still 100 times better than the movie.

I just wish that someone could make a Superman game that didn't make you want to toss your game system out of the window. Seriously, there's never been a Superman game worth more than shitting on.

I have never gone Number 2 on my PS3 after playing DCUO.

I just turned it off and then I went to sleep.

Wow... It's really not that hard to make a great Superman game.

I hope we get one someday that does The Man of Steel justice.

The Superman Returns game was a move in the right direction, I actually had fun with it for the first few hours, but it became too repetitive.

Just give it Arkham City graphics and great main story and it will be awesome.
