Rumor has it that Warner Bros. Games Montreal, the studio responsible for the open-world super hero game, Batman: Arkham Origins, released in 2013, is making a Superman video game through a supposedly leaked screenshot.

The supposedly leaked screenshot from the Superman game shows off a menu which resembles a screen where the player could select the main character’s costume. It lists Superman’s abilities with the costume, as well as his vulnerabilities. The UI buttons are those of an Xbox 360 controller.

This rumor follows last week’s news that WB Games Montreal is hiring to fill 15 positions for an open world action game, which is “a new IP project for next generation game platforms.” The game they are working on will have an online component and, most importantly, WB’s listing describes them as being “a passionate dev team developing DC Comics-focused AAA games that evolve and celebrate the legendary brands of Warner Bros.” Superman would fit the description.

Hand to hand combat again I guess.

and more powers. Giving good camera angles may be a challenge here

Update: Sources tell us that Warner Bros Montreal isn’t working on a Superman game, but the heavily rumored Suicide Squad game. Neither is confirmed or denied, however, so we’ll leave this as a true rumor for now until we find a source for the image or hear something different.

After the Arkham Knight fiasco, I have lost faith in WB as a developer.

Dont blame WB, blame the 11 man team that was responsible for porting.
Game Devs hardly engage in porting.

But WB could have spent a bit more and outsourced it to a more competent company for the porting work.

Hell, they could have ported it in-house.

I blame WB, testing should had been done properly and they already knew that its a broken port and still they released it. I am not giving them a free pass in any case. They don't deserve that.

WB - one of the largest media production houses in the world hires an inexperienced 11 man team to port one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. Yes, definitely no need to blame them.

WB are publishers, not developers. They assign the porting job. The developer's Rocksteady.

Yes. But the investment does come from WB. They probably didn't give Rocksteady enough money to port and they decided to give it to some smaller company as a result.
