Awesome. Probably the closest thing we'll get to a good Justice League game for a while.

@PaulRom: Justice League Heroes was alright but they should do a sequel but with more complex gameplay and more characters.

Rocksteady should make a series of DC games leading up to a JL game. A Wonder Woman game in the vibe of God Of War would be awesome. Games for Green Lantern and Superman could rock too, as well as The Flash. Then bring them all together into a Justice League game with Darkseid. That would be epic.

I knew someone would bring up rocksteady studios. And that would probably be the best idea for a justice league game. Since I doubt we will get a movie anytime soon

Excellent news! My son loves this game and as he's only 5 he needs me to play alongside him for the tricker parts. The games been completed for years but he still loves going over old missions. His birthday is in August so the timing is great too.
