Anything but Batman, especially if WB Montreal is already doing Court of Owls.

If Superman is a no-go, do Flash. Hell if you do Flashpoint, you can cameo Thomas Wayne Batman. While you’re there, retcon the corner Arkham Knight wrote everyone into. Imagine Barry returning to a Rocksteady world where Bruce still has his secret and Joker lives? 60fps it and off to the races.

My top 3 Superhero games Respawn Need to work on in order!!!!!!!!
1.SPAWN
2.Batman Beyond
3.X-Men

I’d rather go with a Wonder Woman title. Century spanning gameplay, Grounded action, cheesing persuasion checks with the lasso and having a female lead worth its salt.

tl;dr Superman will probably be too boring to play (too many powers and only reliable way to defeat him is kryptonite) for a long time; wish they would try new IP or sequel to Urban Chaos: Riot Response. But maybe i'm wrong.

I don't know about Superman, personally, i don't think he'll be interesting to play. I mean, as a character, he has too many different powers - flying, super strength and speed, x-ray vision, super-duper hearing, screaming, healing, incredible intelligence, ice breath, even hypnosis, for f's sake! It's like they took most of the X-Men and thrown them into a blender. He didn't earn any power, get just got them because of space magic.

So you will either have to play as a very young Superman, when he's learning about his power and how to use them, but it'll be kind of boring, IMO (for short time, it's fine, yes, but center the whole game around it? nah). Or everything will be around kryptonite (like he'll get some kryptonite injection or something and will be stripped of his powers; but then, why make a game about Superman if, you know, he'll not be a Superman), which is so overplayed already.

Why Batman was interesting to play? It's a normal human being (although, a billionaire), that uses his intellect, strength (not super, mind you) and gadgets to overcome his limitations, but everything can and will hurt him.
With Superman, though, it feels like you entered every cheat code imaginable, any power you want - you got it. Batman can and has to upgrade his equipment to deal with different situations, but Superman, on the other hand, already has power for 99.999% of situations.

What i'm trying to say, i feel like Superman is not a good fit for a videogame, playing as super OP character will get boring fast. That's why we didn't have any good Superman games yet.
Personally, i wish Rocksteady would make a completely new IP, maybe something similar to Condemned: Criminal Origins, but with heavier emphasis on exploration, puzzles, detective elements and shooting, but within an open-world, that changes as story progresses? Or maybe Urban Chaos: Riot Response sequel?

But hey, maybe i'm wrong, that's the thing with Rocksteady, they have been silent for 4.5 years.

Rocksteady already said they're not doing Superman.

Others have already said this, but I don't think you can make a fun superman game. He's too powerful. People say you could do an everyone's got kryptonite, which is dumb because it's supposed to be incredibly rare. You could have a reason to have superman lose his powers, but then why play superman?

Their next project is a suicide squad game

ffs, its a games-as-a-service Suicide Squad game that is having a deeply troubled development.

I would prefer TMNT or Green Arrow (not the show version)

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
