Rocksteady's Superman Wishlist: 10 Things We Want To See
8. Lots Of Alternate Costumes
DC Comics
Fans may have had to wait until Arkham City to get a shot at seeing Batman don some alternate threads, but when those costumes were unveiled, they had a fantastic time.
Like the Caped Crusader, the Man of Steel has a plethora of different outfits to look towards in his 80 year history - some iconic, others... not so much. And while Batman has made a habit out of switching up his look over the years - more-so than the Last Son of Krypton - that shouldn't stop Rocksteady from packing in as many alternate threads as possible. Mullet Superman and all.
Among the character's most famous alternate costumes include the black suit, which he wore after his return in the early nineties; the Red Son costume, from Mark Millar's Elseworlds comic; Kingdom Come, from Mark Waid and Alex Ross' seminal DC comic; and Beyond, wherein an older Kal-El interacts with Terry McGinnis in the future.
There's plenty of interpretation to go around, and in catering for every generation of Superman fan, expect Rocksteady to pack the character's wardrobe to the brim.
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.
