Superman: 10 DC Games Rocksteady Should Make Instead
2. The Question
Denys Cowan/DC Comics
The Question is the best comic book character you've probably never heard of, and that alone should be enough reason for Rocksteady to make him the focus of a new Arkhamverse entry.
A vigilante who could easily make DC millions on the big-screen, Vic Sage was created by renowned creator Steve Ditko in the 1960s. Times would change, and while the character faded into obscurity in the proceeding decades, come the end of the eighties, writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Denys Cowan would reinvent the hero for a whole new generation.
Reimagined as a crusading journalist with a clear drive to learn, Sage became a true icon of DC's street-level heroes, buoyed by encounters with Green Arrow, Batman and of course, Lady Shiva.
Make Sage the star of a L.A. Noire/Arkham style title, complete with all the philosophy of the O'Neil/Cowan comic, and you have a surefire success waiting in the wings.
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.
