A Justice League game is inevitable, but is this really it?

A screenshot and video of a new game from the makers of Batman: Arkham Origins has appeared online, but are they fake or not?

The image above is allegedly of a new DC Comics superhero game being developed by Warner Bros. Games Montréal, who made Batman: Arkham Origins.

All the other Batman: Arkham games, including the recent Arkham Knight, were made by British studio Rocksteady but nothing has been heard from the Montréal studio since 2003 – other than the rumour that they’re working on a Suicide Squad game.

But the image and video clip you see here turned up on Twitter at the weekend, and claims to be from a non-fighting game staring Superman.


Isn’t it usually Kal-El with a hyphen?

Given the wording of the image it strongly implies he’s not the only playable character, which presumably means it’s a Justice League game.



Although there are some fairly obvious references to Superman and Lex Lutho, in Arkham Knight, other DC heroes such as The Flash are also mentioned in passing.

These nods to the wider DC universe weren’t in the earlier Batman games and certainly suggest that a Justice League game is underway, but the question for now is whether this pic is a fake or not.

There’s not enough information to say either way at the moment, but with the DC Cinematic Universe ramping up it would be more surprising if there wasn’t a Justice League game in the near future.
