^Good question!

Superman Returns was a step in the right direction in terms of making Superman himself invincible and making the city the character with the "life bar," and of course the awesomeness of flying like Supes. However, the fighting, boring enemies, and repetitive game play caused it to suffer in the realm of replayability. While there was a variety of villains, if they could hone in on the idea of "being" Superman, much in the same way many of us are clamoring for a Batman game of a similar nature (Switch from Clark Kent to Superman at will, include Kent missions, etc.) I think this would further push the character toward having a great game.

The Flash might be fun, as would Green Lantern, I suppose. But for the most part, it all comes down to Batman for me. For the most part, I feel that Marvel's "Superheroes" are more enticing during the time between Batman experiences.

A good Superman game would be hard because he's so powerfull, but a Green Lantern game would be good, If more DC games are made I think Rocksteady should be the ones to do them.

I certainly aggree about Lantern, but the Flash? I mean, at least as I see it, he's allways supporting the rest of the team, pretty good at that but at that only, he wouldn't be so much of a hero without ppl backing him the way he backs others (my opinion allways) tho maybe on the right hands he would have made a pretty decent game ;)

I agree too, I think Rocksteady should be a developer for DC.

Green Lantern or Wonderwoman, basicly make Wonderwoman into a T rated "god of war" game. Replace the kratos' athena blades with the lance for pulling, and give her a good lookin' greek sword and stuff. The game has a vast mythology advantage with Ares & Hades as the ultimate baddies.

Take me outside and shoot me, I totally forgot about Wonderwoman. A God of War like Wonderwoman game would be amazing because I love Greek methos. And give Wonderwoman giggle physics..... (I'm only human) :D

How would they make a Superman game? Either he does right away (kryptonite), or he doesn't die at all (bullets).

Unless... they make a Superman game where Lex makes you fly thru a bunch of circles? :D

I'd love a GOOD Catwoman game with Selina Kyle not a knock off of any sort.
There's so much potential with that character, it could even be one of those games that lets you pick which side you want to be on. There's so much fun that could be hard with it that I feel like DC fans who are gamers are just missing out on something grand by not having such a game.


I also second the vote for a Wonder Woman game... Come on, the warrior member of the trinity, Greek Mythos, gods and monsters to fight along with great super villains (and yes, she actually does have some pretty good villains in her rogues gallery if the writers would just bring them into the modern age). It just seems like an epic combat game waiting to happen.

Exactly, i love that design. Giving her a sword againts minotaurs, trolls, undead and whatnot. Giving her the pull moves and whatnot naughty things you can do with that rope and so forth. Really Wonderwoman movie by bruce timm was _exactly_ what a female kratos of a pg-13 movie would be.

Have you seen the Wonder Woman animated movie released earlier this year? That movie kicked ass and definitely breathed new life in the character for me.

Dear gods that's the last thing modern Wonder Woman need. Lynda Carter is great, and she's certainly gorgeous, but there are too many people still think of that old corny show when they think of Wonder Woman.

Hell, in the last Wonder Woman respect thread I was in on a comic book board half of the people who disliked Wondy had only one reason for it: "Because of the old TV show."

There's just too much unpleasant stigma hanging around from that show. It did to Wonder Woman what the old Adam West show did to Batman, but Batman made a come back thanks to Frank Miller and Tim Burton; Wondy wasn't so lucky, she's still trying to escape out from under that old show.

Yeah thats what i was talking about, i loved the ending with Cheetah getting a cameo and Wonderwoman ready to beat the snot out of her!:cool: Only thing i didn't like was how Ares' ultimate form turned into somekind of an generic anime villain with blazing long hair and a evil-asian-spirit looking mask. >_> But yeah i loved the women, i loved their war attitude, i loved how cruel Hades' was. It was spot on!

Wonderwoman has been ruined by far too many writers thats the problem really. She needs a revamp badly.

I'd be happy to see a game done well of Superman and it can be done. They say everything can't be done until you do it... Superman is powerful, yes, but there are enemies out there he could fight. Put him on that new Krypton thing happening now and fight other Kryptonians, Zod, Doomsday, anyone? There's tons of options, but making it like they've tried int he past in weak attempts, no, that's not the way.

Wonder Woman would be welcome. Not sure I'd want her all-out in Greek wear, though. I love her colors and would like to see them retained, but a skirt is fine. Green Lantern would be great. The Flash would work also. Supporting he may be in the JL sense, but if people actually realized the potential for him, that would be something. In order to be that fast, one has to be super strong as well. For some reason, his strength is usually forgotten. If you're moving your legs that fast and moving at that speed, just like the amount of horsepower in your car, your muscles would have to be super-duper strong, and hitting someone at hat speed, would destroy a normal person and hurt super-strong beings. Just like Superman has super speed and is super strong.

But, that's thinking about it logically:p Heaven forbid one does that...

Green Lantern would be great. But I think that would be difficult to pull off. For a superhero game to truly work, you need a huge fanbase behind it to justify the amount of time and effort that would go into it.
Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Wolverine. That sort of thing.

If Rocksteady pulls this game off DC may give more rights to them. Can I ask how Green Lantern would be hard to pull off? It can be just like Batman AA except it's called Green Lantern: Sciencells. If I would want any other superhero game to be made, it would have to be Superman, Green Arrow, or a Doom Patrol game.

Not entirely true. Sure you need a big fanbase, but once DC rolls out the Green Lantern animated movie, as well as the live action movie, the fanbase will get bigger. Look at Watchmen, it didn't bomb at the box office, but it did rake in a good amount considering it is rated R and from an "unfamiliar" source material. Now look, the graphic novel has been selling like hotcakes and I'm almost positive the DVD sales would be great.

Don't underestimate the comic book fan community.

A close-encounter game like Batman wouldn't fit the Green Lantern character. GL has powers, he's like Superman. It should be an open world game like Spiderman.

In terms of his powers, making sure that they're done right. It'd be in the same effect of a Superman game. With Green Lantern you would need a huge variety of attacks so you could truly feel like Green Lantern. Which is what you want from any superhero game, to feel like the hero you're playing.

Of course, when that all comes to play, yeah. But I was thinking as a game on its own. Without a film and such behind to back it up. You have to think beyond the comic book fan community as well as thinking within. Batman is a perfect example as he has gone far beyond with the films.

I agree. And you also have the potential for using the modern settings to add variety to level design and boss fights.
Hawkman would also work well in this type of game. And you could throw in past-lives set levels.

His speed powers could be used very interestingly in a current-gen title. DCU Online already showed one aspect of it with speedster characters being able to run up walls. You could also do a Bullet-Time type effect with the Speed Force for a level where a bomb is about to go off, and things slow down to a crawl, and you have to rush through the building and evacuate everyone from inside before it blows up. Or you could do it with a burning building or warzone, and have Flash have to outrun explosions and bullets.
A stealth/squad based Suicide Squad game.

I was watching a random episode of the Justice League and I seen Flash caught this bad guy in a tower he rapped him on the pole then after he ean around him like 10 times then the villain turned to ice.

A flash game wouldn't be that great. His speed could only be represented in 1 of 2 ways.
1. Bullet time: Having bullet time would make it the 4,621st game using the feature.
2. Ultra fast movement: Would lead to horrible pop-in effects, not to mention crashing into walls every 5 seconds.

I know they're doing DC Universe online game, but I would like to see a MMO about the Lanterns, not just green, but all of the 8 types.

Tell me about it. I heard about the movie, "HALLE BARRY!" got all excited, did some back flips or more accurately chickened out and pretended I did some, then I actually saw it and was like, "What the hell?" Still, HALLE BARRY!


More on top, I don't know why but I kinda want to see another Justice League game. Not like the last one, but more like JLU. They had a better range of personas there. They all weren't just muscle bound heroes who pose like Peter Pan and exclaim, "Do you need to be rescued?" As for gameplay, they should retool it so it's not a lame X-Men Legends rip and make it so enjoyable you could almost play it all the way through with one character the entire time and not get bored.
