Superman: 10 DC Games Rocksteady Should Make Instead
3. Deathstroke
DC Comics
Deathstroke may have marked his gaming debut in Warner Bros. Montreal's Arkham Origins, but there's no reason why Rocksteady can't pick up the torch and continue where they left off.
If rumours are to be believed, Montreal were hard at work on a follow up to Origins based on the Suicide Squad, where Deathstroke would've taken the lead. That obviously never happened and, presumably, those assets are currently gathering dust over at WB Games. While this isn't to say that Rocksteady should attempt to do what they couldn't, Deathstroke could easily anchor a title of his own - just so long as they refrain from giving him one of those awful tanks from Arkham Knight.
Most DC fans harbour a soft spot for Slade Wilson, and with Joe Manganiello set to appear in the DCEU from now on, along with the fact the character is experiencing his own little resurgence in the comics, the stage is set for the character to light up screens everywhere in a brand new Arkham spin-off.
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.
