12 Best DC Superhero Video Games

11. Watchmen: The End Is Nigh

As an adaptation of the Watchmen brand this arcade title is just incongruous, but as a pure co-op beat em' up/brawler it's actually a whole lot of fun. The End Is Nigh gives players the chance to play as Rorschach and Nite Owl in an aesthetic more reminiscent of the film than the book, as they punch, beat, stab and mercilessly hack their way through waves of enemies to accomplish... something. It features a fun few features despite its rudimentary nature, with a clear highlight of the game being the brutal takedown animations you can inflict on your enemies. There are better comic book licences befitting of a game adaptation, but even a title piggy-backing off the success of Zack Snyder's film is worth dabbling in if you have a friend to take along with you.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
