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

3. The Seeds For A Justice League Game

While the validity of last week's leak is still very much in doubt, one of its most compelling aspects involved Rocksteady's plans for the future, and how they could potentially be seeding the creation of a multiplayer Justice League game.

We know for a fact that Marvel will be adapting their very own super-group in Square Enix's Avengers Project, so it would make sense if Warner Bros. deemed it necessary to fast-track a Justice League game of their own. Factor in the implementation of some new mechanics, including the super speed, flight and strength of Superman, and you already have the basis to adapt several of the League's leading characters, including Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash.

In that case, yes, a Batman cameo might also be called for, and while that might undo the ambiguity of Arkham Knight's ending (what little remains of it), the chance to see Bats work with Supes, Diana, Wally and all the rest really is an opportunity neither Rocksteady or WB Games can afford to pass up - especially if they take inspiration from the Justice League cartoon show led by the late, great Dwayne McDuffie.

The Arkhamverse has boundless potential to become a definitive interpretation of the DC Universe. At a time where all fans have to settle for is the temperamental (and CGI-heavy) DCEU, it's presence is vital.

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.
