Superman Thrives, Yet DC Solely Promotes Batman Games Completing

Select Language:

Superman is doing well at the box office, with estimates saying it could earn about $120 million or more in its opening weekend. This success has sparked renewed interest in the Superman franchise, but DC has a tough time with video games.

Honestly, think about it: what video games can DC offer right now? Their recent game releases have been disappointing, and the last two games featuring Superman have lost support. Yet, DC is still trying to ride Superman’s wave by promoting… Batman games?

If You Loved Superman, Check Out These Games That Have Almost Nothing To Do With Superman

Currently, the following DC games are on sale as Superman hits theaters:

Batman: Arkham Collection
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Gotham Knights

Although Xbox is promoting these sales, you can also find these games at lower prices on Steam. PlayStation only has Gotham Knights available for sale.

If you just saw Superman and enjoyed it, these game recommendations might not be what you’re looking for. The Arkham Collection and Gotham Knights are not Superman games at all. The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League does feature Superman, but he’s been brainwashed and, spoiler alert, you actually have to kill him. Another spoiler: later seasons undid that death. Overall, not the best choice if you’re hoping to capture the feeling from the film.

Another recent game that included Superman is MultiVersus, but it has since been shut down and removed from sale. Things aren’t looking up for DC gamers either, as a highly awaited Wonder Woman game has been canceled too, leaving fans with little to anticipate in gaming.

At least James Gunn knows about this and has mentioned that future games will be created in the revamped DCU. He’s also hinted at more games in the Arkham series and has expressed interest in a DC version of Marvel Rivals.
