For years, rumors have been swirling that Warner Bros. Interactive had aSupermanvideo game in the works. Nothing has been officially announced, and it seems that’s because theSupermanproject was canceled. In any case, some new art has emerged online of the canceledSupermangame, showing what appears to be Superman himself flying through Metropolis.
The art was posted online by Twitter user tatlinsky, who found it on Joel Dos Reis Viegas' personal website. Joel previously worked at WB Games Montreal, having worked onBatman: Arkham Originsas a character artist. Joel also worked onBatman: Arkham KnightDLC costumes. Considering this, it does seem as though these could legitimately be concept art for the rumoredSupermanandSuicide Squadvideo gamesthat have both apparently been canceled.

As far asSuicide Squadgoes, there are a couple of images that appear to represent that particular game. One image shows a prisoner meeting with Amanda Waller, and the other is a bunch ofHarley Quinnsketches.
While it appears as though the rumoredSupermanandSuicide Squadvideo games have been canceled, that doesn’t mean that DC is not going to expand its space in the video game industry. On the contrary, WB Games Montreal has been actively teasing a newBatmangame for months, one that is rumored to center around the Court of Owls storyline. More ambitious rumors have gone as far as to claim that the newBatmangame from WB Games Montreal will even be used to kick off aDC games universe.
According to the rumors, Rocksteady’s next-gen project will follow theWB Games MontrealBatmangame, supposedly set to launch this fall, which will then be followed up by aSupermangame. However, it should be stressed that none of this has been confirmed at the time of this writing, and so fans should keep their expectations in check.
Warner Bros. was going to be at E3 2020, where it was expected to unveil its big upcoming projects as part of a major press conference. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has caused E3 2020 to be canceled, and so it’s unclear when exactly Warner Bros. will be pulling the curtain back on its upcoming games. Hopefully more details come sooner rather than later.
