4chan is a very tricky source to trust, but they did unveil the Nintendo Switch before the company could do it themselves, It seems that they are back at it again with a new rumor which states that Gameinformers next cover will be the return of Rocksteady’s Superman.
Rocksteady, the developers behind the Batman Arkham series, at one point did tease about a potential Superman game that was a rough work in progress at best but did manage to make many steps in its development.
This is only one video amongst a dozen other examples of the details of the game dissected and theories being speculated.
While the brilliant minds at Rocksteady have given us the best superhero based video game since Spiderman 2 on the PS2, the studio once dabbled in the idea of a Superman game.
As you can suspect, making a game on Superman has never worked out well for any developer, especially the infamous Superman 64.
Update:
Be patient, fans. I know we're not talking right now… but when we do, people are going to lose their minds. Can't wait 😀

Even a prestigious studio like Rocksteady will have a lot of weight on their shoulders to make a unique Superman game the likes of which no one has ever seen before, but that would mean putting a man who is practically invincible to the idea that he can be killed.
The execution was much more do-able for Batman because even though the Dark Knight is feared, he is still susceptible to mortality, while Superman transcends mortality (Yes, I know he has died in the comics, but those were under extremely difficult circumstances such as Doomsday).
You can probably guess why Rocksteady had sort of set out on a fool’s errand.
While 4chan is one of those sources that is more or less a hit or a miss, you have to keep that salt shaker right next to you and be ready to build your own salt mill with the pinches you will need.
Keep in mind that the attached image made its return on a 4chan thread, we should still keep an open mind. We know that the developer gave the caped crusader a strong farewell with Arkham Knight, but have they truly given up on the cowl of the bat? Or is it time for the man of steel to take center stage? Only time will tell.
