Batman: Arkham Knight - 12 Superhero Franchises Rocksteady Must Tackle Next
7. Spider-Man
Though Rocksteady are somewhat bound to Warner Bros. (who own DC Comics) there's always a small chance that they could make the crossing to Marvel. It's not as if it'd be an unpopular move, as DC's main rival has just as many intriguing and diverse characters as they do - if not more. Without a doubt the face of Marvel in its current form, Spider-Man has a reach like no other, and also happens to have an incredibly varied set of interpretations - all just as good as the other. Of course the safe choice would be to focus on Peter Parker, but like Shattered Dimensions showed often the non-Parker Spider-Men are the most interesting. One character worthy of note is Miles Morales, the Ultimate Spider-Man who has found a new home in the post Secret Wars timeline of Marvel's main comics universe. No matter who Rocksteady choose to go with, any Spidey title that they tackle should really focus on the web-slinger's manoeuvrability and agility as a crime fighter. Unlike the other characters on this list Spider-Man isn't short of good releases either, with the friendly neighbourhood hero enjoying titles like Spider-Man 2 and its Ultimate spinoff as well. It'd mean Rocksteady would have a lot to live up to, but there's no doubt they could carve out something unique to really entice players to something new with the wall-crawler.
