Rocksteady's Superman Wishlist: 10 Things We Want To See

7. Tasteful Destruction

One of the more interesting rumours to have emerged from that 4chan leak was that Rocksteady's version of Metropolis would have destructable elements. While that bodes well for immersion's sake, doubts regarding the tone of the game are likely to emerge as a consequence, as those familiar with Man of Steel's controversial third act begin to recount the fallout of Zod's invasion.

Given how Arkham Knight also placed emphasis (some would say erroneously) on Batman's edgier, action-oriented traits, those worries make sense. Of course Superman is a hero, and with the game set in Metropolis, it makes sense for the character to deal with destruction - whether it be inflicted by his enemies, or by himself accidentally.

There is a line to be drawn however, and in lending real consequence to the Man of Steel's actions, Rocksteady would do well to ensure the destruction doesn't reach the wanton inflections of Zack Snyder's DCEU, or at least make it a key narrative point in the game itself.
