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.
