The games were ultimately released on Novemin the United States and November 30 in Australia, to coincide with the DVD release of Superman Returns. The handheld games were delayed in order to preserve a simultaneous release with non-handheld SKUs.
The games were delayed from their original release date (set to coincide with the theatrical release of the film) due to design complications and issues with polish on the console game. The Nintendo DS version also features games based on the film, but they are fundamentally different from the console title.
The game features the voice and likeness of Brandon Routh ( Superman/ Clark Kent) as well as the voices of Kevin Spacey ( Lex Luthor), Kate Bosworth ( Lois Lane), Parker Posey ( Kitty Kowalski) and Sam Huntington ( Jimmy Olsen), all reprising their roles from the film. It was produced for the Xbox 360 as well as the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS. In the game, Superman combats Bizarro, as well as other classic villains (including Metallo, Mongul, and Riot) as well as being able to play as Bizarro in one of the minigames. It was developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts in conjunction with Warner Bros. What do you want to see in the game? Would you prefer to play as Superman or the Suicide Squad?

SUPERMAN GAME XBOX ONE SERIES
So what does this mean? Will players be both Superman and the Suicide Squad? Are they Superman hunting the Suicide Squad or the Suicide Squad hunting Superman? What kind of game are we getting here?Įxpect more details when DC Fandome launches on August 22nd, and expect that the game will be for next-gen consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. The poster shows the Man of Steel with his back turned and the Suicide Squad logo as crosshairs on his head. With DC’s Fandome on the horizon, the studio has now teased their upcoming game, and it’s not just Superman-it’s also Suicide Squad. But if anyone had earned the benefit of the doubt, it would be Rocksteady.
It’s been five years since Arkham Knight and developer Rocksteady has been silent since then although there’s been rumors that they were working on a Superman game, which would be a curious move since there has never been a good Superman game, particularly because it’s hard to have fun when your character is always in god mode. The worlds feel gritty and fleshed-out, and while the move to an open-world design led to mixed results (trying to do stealth missions in a Batmobile remains an ill-conceived decision), their impact can’t be denied. Arkham Asylum in particular lets you feel like you’re Batman as you prey on helpless criminals. While the series was a bit of diminishing returns with the follow-ups Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight, no one could deny that the studio built a game that understood Batman and his world. Rocksteady delivered what was easily one of the best superhero video games of all-time with Batman: Arkham Asylum.
