Entirely DCs fault. They had a chance with Cavill but only gave him one stand alone movie. Mainstream audiences never got a chance to see any real character development yet Batman keeps a new stand alone movie every other year. Supes has essentially been a bad guy in Injustice, Justice League, and now this Suicide Squad movie. It's become a running trope to make Evil Superman(which is dumb when they have Bizzaro) and there's an entire generation now that only really sees him as that. Superman is only ever as good as his writers and they keep giving him to shit ass writers with no creativity.
No. You're right, but then again neither are these "evil Superman" characters, they're either brainwashed, scared or fed up, usually all saved in the end. At least Bizzaro had an arc and some backstory to why he was "bad". Could've used him many times instead of turncoat Superman for the umpteenth time.
Our culture has become so jaded that I'm not sure it's possible for people to get behind the ideal of Superman like they used to, even with great writing. The character is too pure for us.
Nobody roots for "the good guys" anymore. People prefer characters like Batman because he's troubled, pretty much a fucking psycho that's always walking the line and flirting with going too far. For some reason, I guess they see Batman as more vulnerable and relatable which is in itself telling. Superman should be something we all strive to be, something people should reach for -- just to be good and decent. That's hard to monetize these days with everyone looking on the dark side.
Characters as pure as Superman? No. They all have some sort of dark backstory or fucked up presentation these days. There are no pure heroes anymore. Everyone is a heckin' cool anti-hero that doesn't play by the rules!

What's lacking nuance is this braindead dismissal. Ruby is specifically about sticking to her beliefs and being a hero no matter what the world throws at her, and always prioritizing her virtues over what others may think. Whatever allegedly similar character you name, I can probably say what exactly differentiates Ruby from them and makes her more likeable.

Ruby's notion is not just that of vague justice, but of making the world more like the fairy tales she grew up on, i.e. to keep doing what she believes in instead of backing down when faced with the overwhelming cynicism of reality and society around her. It's compelling in part because of the particular nature of the impossible threat she faces in the show (a thousands year old enemy larger than life that cannot be killed) and in part because of Ruby uniquely combining the traits of a Japanese shonen impossibly resilient protagonist with those of a Western down-to-earth everyman protagonist.

Factually wrong. As I stated above, a part of her beliefs comes from being raised on fairy tales about heroes and righteousness, and when faced with the cynical reality of the world, unlike most people, she chose to stick to her vision and dedicate her life to making it a reality. To say nothing of the subtext of carrying on her dead mother's legacy.

I don't buy this. Man of Steel was fine, good even though not great. There was conflict outside of just an evil doer. Same thing you said about Batman could easily be applied to Superman if any writer had the balls. I mean despite the shallowness of Snyders films, it touched on the human element of whether people would praise or fear a God-like being. Hell you could easily put the conflict of Superman being too strong for his own good. Always trying to do the right thing but realizing right and wrong are not so black and white. Let him deal with failure, mistakes, prejudice, much like they've done with Batman many times over. The reason Batman gets a bit more acclaim is because he's only human, bring some humility to Superman and he becomes a more relatable character. I know it's trendy to hate on Marvel but Captain America is very much in the same vein as Superman, a goodie two shoes boy scout, but Winter Soldier was a solid flick that rarely relied on his super strength and more about the world around him. It's not impossible to write a good Superman, it's just lazy fucking writers keep making him a cardboard cutout.
Just like Snyder, you fail to properly internalize the Superman character and see him more as a 'thing', a messianic figure, a concept. But when you're writing Superman in a story, you need to write from Superman's perspective and Superman's 'aw shucks' personality would most likely make him write off that question entirely as something for the philosophers. Superman's "tragedy" is that he's a stranger in a strangeland. He will always be human in everything but appearance and humanity will never let him forget that he's not one of them -- particularly emphasized through the contrast against Luthor's prejudice.
The best Superman stories are about Superman himself, not some broader philosophical focus on what the existence of Superman entails. See Alan Moore's For the Man Who Has Everything.

I thought it was fine. Not the show's best but still good
Superman could not exist in today's post 9/11 world, the idea of exposing corruption as a simple reporter through a big media outlet is laughable when said media outlet is supporting the corruption. Depictions like injustice Superman or Homelander are reflections of our own gloomy society. Superman and Batman aren’t complex characters with some magical formula to debate around and around on, they’re simple and Superman has always been the boring one of the 2 because Batman is the ultimate self insert. Man of Steel didn’t miss the mark, it was literally the baseline for public interest. Cavill was totally within the confines of Superman, however his version was tackled from a very different angle with aspects that were too redpilled in an inherently blue pulled genre (for example, how would society actually react if such a being existed) which made many hardcore superfags such as

Same here but I guess I’m not passionate enough about the character to hold him to specific standards. In the grand scheme of his actions the no kill rule seems pretty redundant to me.

You're upset that people don't relate to a clean farmer alien boy that's also a reporter get a grip on yourself man. Batman's just cool because it's very hard to fuck up 'man acts like a shade' no matter what medium or universe it's in.

Says the person who uses a comic book character as an ideal to aspire to
Superman is a lying scumbag that for 70% of his publishing history lied to his closed ones and straight up gaslighted poor women to insanity.
Why are Superman fanboys so fucking weird? You fuckers treat this fucking comic book character as if he was some Catholic saint. Most of you don't even have any idea of how the character was decades ago or balk at those interpretations for being too weird or "angry". It's a fucking generic comic book character that has been anything and everything. People not finding the character all that much isn't some larger commentary on society. You don't see Mickey Mouse fans despairing about society because normies don't give a fuck about Mickey Mouse anymore.
I don't relate to Superman at all but I still like the character at his core and what hes meant to stand for. I was unironically excited when I heard he'd be coming back with a son and married to Lois, an actual progression of the character and the homely, humble beginning he came from. But DC fucked that up too.
How can you not relate to Superman? What are you a bad person or something? He's just a good guy from a farming community trying to do what's right. That's the easiest thing in the world to relate to.
Well, at least it will be rebooted anyway, so its a one-time shitty game with no relevance whatsoever in the great scheme of things.
Perhaps we will have other Batman games continuing from the now rebooted ending of Arkham Asylum.
On the one hand I kinda like them taking risks and trying to be edgy, but on the other it sounds like it gives a middle finger to most of the heroes and that sequelbait ending is terrible if it's real.

I think the leaks work in their favor. Its a game titled what it contains, killing the justice league. I think people who REALLY want a good DC pro-superhero game will be mad but from a standpoint of what would be huge for streams and audiences. Superman flying through someone to cut them in half, the giant setpieces would be akin to the early God of War bosses fights that general audiences like.

No I'm sick of it ruining the movie industry and catering to casuals. I'm a hardcore comicfag and I'm sorry for the bullshit the rest of the world has to put up with.

seriously Waller? are these four the best you had on hand? were the rest all killed or something? fucking hell plot armor is gonna have to do the heavy lifting, like always.
but the thing that braniac is using isn't really "true mind control", they all have their autonomy and personalities intact (or at least the flash does from the dribbles of trailers they've given us).

it's just so sad how much potential gaming lost after 2015
Was there ever any indication before Arkham Knight that any other DC heroes and villains outside of the central Batman cast existed beyond some light easter eggs? I know Arkham Knight had that Lexcorp tower. I feel like that Arkhamverse works much better as a standalone, I see no need for them to set this game in that universe.
Arkham Knight, there is also a poster for metropolis that has superman (a flying red streak) on it. John Constantine also has a private investigation firm that you can find in game too
>I see no need for them to set this game in that universe.
Was clearly just a WB executive decision as "arkham games successful so set in that universe"
Those light easter eggs are the proof. Superman and Flash both appear on billboard advertising for their city. We physically see Starro at one point. The crashed airship in AK that was servicing some off the books benefactor has Brainiac's logo everywhere.
Yeah, there's mention of "That freak in Metropolis" which is why Scarecrow said Gotham is getting blown to bits if anyone enters to explain why Superman doesn't just fly in and smash his face in.
It's easier to make a Suicide Squad game because all the characters use guns. Making heroes with interesting powers fun to play is too much work please understand.
>even more shit in the vein of Avengers and Gotham Knights, which you hate with every fiber of your being >except instead of cool bros like Thor and Iron Man, you can only play as random side antagonists you give zero fucks about
Hard pass.
You have the team that made the amazing Arkham trilogy and you have them make THIS for eight years? Are you fucking kidding me? Warner Bros are braindead.
Are we sure the people that made the Arkham games are still at rocksteady? There's been plenty of cases where games have been sold off developer name alone but behind the scenes most of the key staff that made those games people loved are long gone. Are we really sure the wizards that made one of the best looking games of all time on Unreal Engine 3 are working on this?
Not really excited honestly, I'm mostly a basic bitch Spider-Man/Batman fan but I'd love a Superman game and I'm hoping they branch out to other superheroes soon, I want a Flash or Superman game. It's why I'm more hopeful for the Wonder Woman game, provided they don't fuck that up (if the leaks I'm seeing about Suicide Squad end up being real)
Here’s the lead developer on the project: Sefton Hill. He looks absolutely depressed and malnourished. I bet you anything he never wanted to make this shitty game but ((they)) forced him too. Poor guy. He looks like absolute shit. Compare this interview to any other interview about the Arkham games and you’ll see the difference is night and fucking day
Can you blame him? They are shitting all over his hard work with the Arkham Trilogy. He probably couldn’t handle watching his passion projects burn to the ground. Along with all the women and chuds they probably hired I would get the fuck out of dodge too.
Agreed. We could’ve gotten Scarecrow/Hush team up, immortal clayface, baby joker, etc but instead we got AK. Asylum and City would not have been as well liked if it wasn’t for Dini
Arkham Asylum had the best story in the series because at least there it made sense for Batman to fight all those villain. AC on the other hands tossing a hot potato between Hugo Strange, Ra's al Ghul and Joker.
Asylum falls apart at the end with the Titan Joker shit. City actually nails the ending, maybe it was too ambitious trying to cram in too many villains but it still handled Joker and Ras very well.

Yeah, but the Family Man was not a demon. He was a mortal man and is one of John's most dangerous enemies. John is cunning, but when he's cornered, he will fight back.

You're not missing the point of Hellblazer by having John use whatever he can find to protect himself when its been done in the comics before.

This really is GaaS shit!
Stupid. Any ONE DC hero with superspeed could kill all of them before a second is over. Hell WONDER WOMAN, could speed blitz them. Meanwhile they have Superman in the game who is damn near invincible unless you use one of his very specific weaknesses, and Flash should find you the second he's evil, because he could search the planet before I've finished jerking off. Then there's fucking Batman too, honestly how the fuck do the Suicide shitters stand a chance in hell? It only takes one of these DC heroes to beat all of them. I'm also just sick and tired of evil Superman. I get it, it's unfathomable for someone with power to do good. I wonder why that might be.
But they're up against the god of plot armor, and his super-powered best bud. It's fucking dumb. World's Finest alone can take on damn near anything, let alone some rag tag group of criminals with shitty personalities and shittier outfits.
lmao BATMAN ALONE beat all of them at the same time in the Arkham animated movie already
Wtf is DC smoking? I'm glad I don't read comics anymore. I know the answer to every vs question is "whoever the writer wants" but god is it fucking stupid.
my guess is: >flash
you fight him somewhere cold and he is slowed down >superman
you get the kryptonite pills from injustice and use kryptonite weapons >wonder woman
devs will ingnore how powerfull she is and make her a regular sword and shield user aside from a cutscene where she gets on whatever you are with a super jump >batman
a ripoff of the freeze fight from arkham city where your strategy only works once and he will counter it if you try again
>other heroes like martian
not in the game lol normalfags only know theese four
God I fucking hate how they pretend Wonder Woman is slow. There isn't even a convenient answer for Wonder Woman like Superman. There's fucking nothing the Suicide Squad can do short of somehow making Superman or Shazam fight her.
Do people actually like Martian Manhunter? I don't hate him, but he's kind of one note. Feels more like stronger Superman but without the ability to sundip to become disgusting.
Flash alone should have zero issues dealing with these guys by himself.
Shit, in the Hell To Pay movie, when the Squad found out they were up against the Reverse Flash they nearly shat themselves and got the fuck out of there, and at least there he had a plot reason why he couldn't just kill them all in 3 seconds(he's the same Reverse Flash from the Flashpoint movie and is using speedforce nonsense to stay alive, and the more he uses his speed the faster the clock runs out, so he has to carefully ration his superspeed).
Shit, he could have just been captured or something and have rescuing him be a major plot point later because his speed is such a massive advantage.
They can't even use the traditional reason Flash can get taken out easily when he's being controlled: When whoever's controlling him doesn't also have super speed or the reflexes to match it, controlled Flash tends to run in predictable straight lines that makes him fairly easy to take down.
>Stupid. Any ONE DC hero with superspeed could kill all of them before a second is over
i can name 15 moments in dc history where speedesters got killed because they thought super speed was a guaranteed ace retard
Because it is, but the writer is the stronger than the guy with superspeed. What do you even do against superspeed? You're done before you've processed the idea to do something. Bad writing is a speedster's true weakness, because nothing short of complete invulnerability can beat it.
This. Superspeed is easily one of the best and most overpowered there is. It's nearly impossible to counter. A speedster kills you before you can blink.
Flash alone should have zero issues dealing with these guys by himself.

>speedforce trannies getting uppity again
It's time to remind them
This is a common occurrence in DC comics. It's not any less dumb when it happens to Superman, only Superman is invulnerable so people let it slide. Speedy characters get tagged on a daily basis by people who shouldn't be able to touch them in a million years. Speedsters should handle a normal person like I'd handle an ant.
Then there wouldn't be a story. If writers actually listened to the power level autists crying about Flash or Superman not being able to stop villains who aren't speedsters in one attosecond, there would be no conflict. So you have two options, either make every villain a speedster to appease a small portion of autists who actually care about power levels, or just ignore them and focus on making a coherent story that doesn't end with some asshole with plot device speed powers fixing everything immediately.
Because he has great healthcare, due to being rich.
not sure but for a justice league fan he is part of the team so a jj game or movie needs him, him being good or not is not the point.
But then they'd just do some typical "I have a flamethrower and easily defeated Superman 1.5!" I mean yeah Martian Manhunter isn't always weak against fire, except when he is. He's either over it or he's not, and it either hurts him or it's in his head. Fucking green ass mother fucker.
If the story rumors are true, then it's about to get Velma-levels of edge. No one is going to be happy besides the writers.
You don't do 10+ years of the Arkham universe building fans and do Batman like they're rumored to do... Especially for Conroy's last performance in this universe.
I think it’s retarded that they are making a suicide game instead of a justice league game, why the fuck did this get pushed over the potential batman beyond game or the superman game? What a bunch of retards
I think it's kinda sad that more people relate to Harley Quinn nowadays than to Superman.
Entirely DCs fault. They had a chance with Cavill but only gave him one stand alone movie. Mainstream audiences never got a chance to see any real character development yet Batman keeps a new stand alone movie every other year. Supes has essentially been a bad guy in Injustice, Justice League, and now this Suicide Squad movie. It's become a running trope to make Evil Superman(which is dumb when they have Bizzaro) and there's an entire generation now that only really sees him as that. Superman is only ever as good as his writers and they keep giving him to shit ass writers with no creativity.
Bizzaro is not really evil.
No. You're right, but then again neither are these "evil Superman" characters, they're either brainwashed, scared or fed up, usually all saved in the end. At least Bizzaro had an arc and some backstory to why he was "bad". Could've used him many times instead of turncoat Superman for the umpteenth time.
Our culture has become so jaded that I'm not sure it's possible for people to get behind the ideal of Superman like they used to, even with great writing. The character is too pure for us.
Nobody roots for "the good guys" anymore. People prefer characters like Batman because he's troubled, pretty much a fucking psycho that's always walking the line and flirting with going too far. For some reason, I guess they see Batman as more vulnerable and relatable which is in itself telling. Superman should be something we all strive to be, something people should reach for -- just to be good and decent. That's hard to monetize these days with everyone looking on the dark side.
Sure thing, because there are no popular static hero characters in fiction AT ALL.
Characters as pure as Superman? No. They all have some sort of dark backstory or fucked up presentation these days. There are no pure heroes anymore. Everyone is a heckin' cool anti-hero that doesn't play by the rules!

Unironically is, Ruby is a great role model without being in-your-face or annoyingly woke. She's kind-hearted while also being badass and smart. Her character archetype is also inherently not tied to an unhealthy personality stereotype like, say, Harley Quinn, who is exclusively a power fantasy for hedonistic women to justify being obnoxious attention whores.
How many literally who properties can boast getting an official crossover movie with Justice League? You wouldn't call He-Man "literally who" and yet his only crossover with DC was in an obscure comic. How many "wannabe animes" can boast getting an actual anime of their own? You won't call ATLA "literally who" and yet it never got an anime despite being the original "wannabe anime".
Are all RWBYfags this annoying and lacking in self awareness?
>no argument
I accept your concession.
What's there to argue? You're overrating mediocre slop because you're an obvious waifufag. I know you're a lost cause.
>What's there to argue?
The points I made. You're unable to find anything wrong with them, so you choose to hide behind vague sarcastic dismissal like an average NPC.
Ruby has no identity on her own due to being an anime ripoff, and her virtues are cookie-cutter good guy traits without nuance to them
>Ruby has no identity on her own due to being an anime ripoff
Which specific anime? Elaborate.
>and her virtues are cookie-cutter good guy traits without nuance to them
What's lacking nuance is this braindead dismissal. Ruby is specifically about sticking to her beliefs and being a hero no matter what the world throws at her, and always prioritizing her virtues over what others may think. Whatever allegedly similar character you name, I can probably say what exactly differentiates Ruby from them and makes her more likeable.
Whatever problems her show may have are not about Ruby's character.
>Which specific anime?
Pretty much every shonen hero and shojo heroine besides deliverately subversive ones. Generic notions of justice and sticking to your ideals.
Nooo you can't just say that she's completely 100% original!
>no specific examples
Lazy AND wrong.
Ruby's notion is not just that of vague justice, but of making the world more like the fairy tales she grew up on, i.e. to keep doing what she believes in instead of backing down when faced with the overwhelming cynicism of reality and society around her. It's compelling in part because of the particular nature of the impossible threat she faces in the show (a thousands year old enemy larger than life that cannot be killed) and in part because of Ruby uniquely combining the traits of a Japanese shonen impossibly resilient protagonist with those of a Western down-to-earth everyman protagonist.
>w-what he said!
And you guys get offended when I call you NPCs.
TLDR you're coping and crying because your shitty webseries is as generic as generic can be.
Now reply to me with another seething post pretending like RWBY is high art lol.
>no argument once again
As expected, cynical dismissal is just about all you're capable of.
I know English is hard to understand for you, Darious, but if you try to translate my posts to your native language, you will see I'm not bashing RWBY.
>coping once again
As expected, being delusional and defensive is just about all you're capable of.
did you take a lot of drugs than run into this thread to cry about a cartoon
No need to cite examples because it's as generic as it gets. Hell, shonen heroes started using "I want to be the king of hokage acting pirates" to give the characters some tangible goal beyond "justice just because".
Hell, Ruby sounds even shallower because she has no personal drive besides "JUSTICE", unlike Kenshiro's belief of strength existing to serve the weak, Kenshin's atonement or Oscar's desire to honor her family.
>No need to cite examples because it's as generic as it gets.
If it's so generic, then it should be easy for you to cite examples of characters who are exactly like Ruby. Instead, you're coming up with excuses to justify your inability to do so.
>Hell, Ruby sounds even shallower because she has no personal drive besides "JUSTICE",
Factually wrong. As I stated above, a part of her beliefs comes from being raised on fairy tales about heroes and righteousness, and when faced with the cynical reality of the world, unlike most people, she chose to stick to her vision and dedicate her life to making it a reality. To say nothing of the subtext of carrying on her dead mother's legacy.
>copying my manner of speech now
Good doggie.
>As I stated above, a part of her beliefs comes from being raised on fairy tales about heroes and righteousness,
So, a shallow motivation? That's what I'm talking about.
What makes a motivation "non-shallow" to you? Being driven by personal reasons? Ruby's personal reason is to cling to the ideals she was taught as a kid.
Darious is the ESL who types in lowercase and mass replies to people. I only brought up the DC crossover movie as an example of RWBY having some cultural relevancy.
>le NPC meme
What is this, 2016? I don't care how genuine she is when her show is garbage. It's that simple.
Isn't Neo more popular than Ruby among fans that still watch RWBY? And ironically she's the closest thing RWBY has to Harley Quinn.
what kind of world are you living in?
Phoenix Night's popularity polls prove it.
who the fuck is that and why should i give a shit what they have to say
his are the only big popularity polls the rwby fandom has
you think i give a shit about some twitter popularity pole
Neo is popular because she has no character aside from "being cool and winning fights", so people can project whatever they want onto her.
what kind of retarded shit is this
run your retarded ass back to twitter and say this so you can get some epic upbots
Sorry I struck a nerve, waifufag. Grow up and stop consuming shit because your favorite ecelebs made it.
What a shit example. Anon argued mainstream audiences don't latch onto pure characters and you posted a literal who.
>literal who
she probably has more rule34 than your waifu.
So
was right then. Thanks for proving exactly why it's such a shit suggestion
Thanks for proving people only care about it for the porn.
youre edgy jaded gay yourself judging by your posts
I don't buy this. Man of Steel was fine, good even though not great. There was conflict outside of just an evil doer. Same thing you said about Batman could easily be applied to Superman if any writer had the balls. I mean despite the shallowness of Snyders films, it touched on the human element of whether people would praise or fear a God-like being. Hell you could easily put the conflict of Superman being too strong for his own good. Always trying to do the right thing but realizing right and wrong are not so black and white. Let him deal with failure, mistakes, prejudice, much like they've done with Batman many times over. The reason Batman gets a bit more acclaim is because he's only human, bring some humility to Superman and he becomes a more relatable character. I know it's trendy to hate on Marvel but Captain America is very much in the same vein as Superman, a goodie two shoes boy scout, but Winter Soldier was a solid flick that rarely relied on his super strength and more about the world around him. It's not impossible to write a good Superman, it's just lazy fucking writers keep making him a cardboard cutout.
Just like Snyder, you fail to properly internalize the Superman character and see him more as a 'thing', a messianic figure, a concept. But when you're writing Superman in a story, you need to write from Superman's perspective and Superman's 'aw shucks' personality would most likely make him write off that question entirely as something for the philosophers. Superman's "tragedy" is that he's a stranger in a strangeland. He will always be human in everything but appearance and humanity will never let him forget that he's not one of them -- particularly emphasized through the contrast against Luthor's prejudice.
The best Superman stories are about Superman himself, not some broader philosophical focus on what the existence of Superman entails. See Alan Moore's For the Man Who Has Everything.
This, hell I'd argue the Superman DCAU cartoon did a great job with this. That cartoon even did Man of Steel much better with the "Blasts from the Past" two parter
lmao no that two-parter sucked
I thought it was fine. Not the show's best but still good
Superman could not exist in today's post 9/11 world, the idea of exposing corruption as a simple reporter through a big media outlet is laughable when said media outlet is supporting the corruption. Depictions like injustice Superman or Homelander are reflections of our own gloomy society. Superman and Batman aren’t complex characters with some magical formula to debate around and around on, they’re simple and Superman has always been the boring one of the 2 because Batman is the ultimate self insert. Man of Steel didn’t miss the mark, it was literally the baseline for public interest. Cavill was totally within the confines of Superman, however his version was tackled from a very different angle with aspects that were too redpilled in an inherently blue pulled genre (for example, how would society actually react if such a being existed) which made many hardcore superfags such as
too uncomfortable. I also find it weird how ride or die some fans are with Batman’s no kill rule, I think it’s a zoomer thing.
>weird how ride or die some fans are with Batman’s no kill rule,
I dunnp what this mean but I dont want to ever see Batman kill people and I'm 32 and I grew up watching the 90s animated series.
Same here but I guess I’m not passionate enough about the character to hold him to specific standards. In the grand scheme of his actions the no kill rule seems pretty redundant to me. I’m open to any interpretation so long as it’s compelling and consistent to itself. For that reason I am a batfleck fag.
You're upset that people don't relate to a clean farmer alien boy that's also a reporter get a grip on yourself man. Batman's just cool because it's very hard to fuck up 'man acts like a shade' no matter what medium or universe it's in.
the real sadness is how we're still talking about 50-100 year old characters, changed or not, instead of inventing new things.
let's see your exciting new character concept anon
you have one, right
RIGHT
ok watch me come up with one on the spot.
mapping man, he travels around in the world mapping out unexplored caves and meet all kinds of people.
IT'S THAT EASY. just think of something new, god damn.
already done in the Chronicles of Baaran
i didn't say the concept had to be 100% unique.
you can make a new kind of superman if you want to, it doesn't have to be superman with a twist. it can be a whole new character.
can't believe i have to explain these things, people really have lost all creativity.
Harley Quinn is barely 30 years old.
still
Blame Arkham City for exploding her popularity.
People also relate now more to Joker than Superman.
Superman should be an ideal people strive for. But people don't want that anymore. They just want to be told their shitty self is perfect.
I don’t get it, do we all not want to be Henry Cavill? Is he not what we strive to be? Rich, gamer, hot, fucking 19 year olds
Facts
What ideal is that? Being as boring as possible?
Case in point.
Modern people are shitty and don't aspire to better the world or themselves. Social media has rotted the brains of generation, making everyone think they're the center of the cosmos
And this encapsulates the problem. You believe that being "boring" is the greatest sin, because you evaluate the worth of any human being by how much they entertain you, because you were raised on fiction
It's okay to hurt people, it's okay to be selfish, anti-social, destructive, and generally sociopathic, as long as it makes for good popcorn
>because you were raised on fiction
This is true for about 99% of this site otherwise it wouldn't hold arbitrary, generic, banal anime related traits as the gold standard for beauty and entertainment. Theres a reason people here would rather play Genshin Impact than self-improve and attempt to do something productive.
>arbitrary
It wasn't arbitrary to my dick. Don't project your problems onto other people. It's unsightly.
You're an infantilized NPC from mass produced media from a country that hates you.
What did I say about projecting anon? You don't even know what kind of entertainment I'm into, only what I like to jerk it to. Whether you just want attention, or genuinely believe the nonsense you spout, I'm sorry you turned out this way.
I struck a nerve.
You're trying way too hard, midwit pseud.
Boredom is the source of all sin.
>You believe that being "boring" is the greatest sin, because you evaluate the worth of any human being by how much they entertain you, because you were raised on fiction
Says the person who uses a comic book character as an ideal to aspire to
Superman is a lying scumbag that for 70% of his publishing history lied to his closed ones and straight up gaslighted poor women to insanity.
Why are Superman fanboys so fucking weird? You fuckers treat this fucking comic book character as if he was some Catholic saint. Most of you don't even have any idea of how the character was decades ago or balk at those interpretations for being too weird or "angry". It's a fucking generic comic book character that has been anything and everything. People not finding the character all that much isn't some larger commentary on society. You don't see Mickey Mouse fans despairing about society because normies don't give a fuck about Mickey Mouse anymore.
I don't relate to Superman at all but I still like the character at his core and what hes meant to stand for. I was unironically excited when I heard he'd be coming back with a son and married to Lois, an actual progression of the character and the homely, humble beginning he came from. But DC fucked that up too.
How can you not relate to Superman? What are you a bad person or something? He's just a good guy from a farming community trying to do what's right. That's the easiest thing in the world to relate to.
>people relate to Harley Quinn nowadays

Well, at least it will be rebooted anyway, so its a one-time shitty game with no relevance whatsoever in the great scheme of things.
Perhaps we will have other Batman games continuing from the now rebooted ending of Arkham Asylum.
On the one hand I kinda like them taking risks and trying to be edgy, but on the other it sounds like it gives a middle finger to most of the heroes and that sequelbait ending is terrible if it's real.
It's not really a risk if they intend to just undo everything of real consequence.
You know what would ACTUALLY subvert my expectations? A story that isn't just gnomish misery-porn. My god, this is Kevin's last performance as Batman and they kill him off for a cheap joke
Sounded believable and good until the reboot part.
>mr freeze and nora's skeletons as an easter egg
>when arkham knight ends with them sailing away from gotham to die in peace
Anon might've gotten away with it if he didn't include that
They retconned Deadshot to be black it's not that far fetched they'd retcon Freeze's fate too
The Lazarus Pit is gone by the end of Arkham Knight too, however, and can't be remade. Sounds more like the "leaker" forgot this shit.
The writing can easily fix that. "Actually there were TWO lazarus pits all along! The second one was discovered after Arkham Knight. Who knows, maybe there's a third too."
You give the writers far too much credit if you think they care about the lore that much, it's not even the same people that wrote Knight.
They could easily make up some bullshit that there was another super extra secret pit that Batman only just discovered after Knight.
I hate that alot of that sounds like something current day writers would shit out. So it sounds true. Kevin's last performance as Batman will be him just getting killed in a stupid fashion.
Leaks on /co/
I think the leaks work in their favor. Its a game titled what it contains, killing the justice league. I think people who REALLY want a good DC pro-superhero game will be mad but from a standpoint of what would be huge for streams and audiences. Superman flying through someone to cut them in half, the giant setpieces would be akin to the early God of War bosses fights that general audiences like.

Best post on Ganker today.
Ah yes, all those dozens of superhero games we've had over the last few years, right?
a little, more so in film than in game. I'm more tired of the big two dominators of the genre.
Film yes. Games is muddled
I am tired of half assed poorly designed micro transaction filled superhero games. But otherwise I enjoy running around as a hero and doing shit
I agree, superheroes are so lame and repetitive, it's, like, the same formula every time bro. Now coomer anime fantasy RPGs, on the other hand, that's where true originality lies.
no, just tired of woke media

I’m tired of Marvel’s shitty live action movies. I want to see my Green Lanterns damn it.
I'm still waiting of a decent Constantine game
Knowing DC, it would be a shitty point in click and JC would act like the heckin gay fireball wizard man from their animated movies.

Looking at the leaks and everything they refuse to show? It's a walking red flag.
No I'm sick of it ruining the movie industry and catering to casuals. I'm a hardcore comicfag and I'm sorry for the bullshit the rest of the world has to put up with.

seriously Waller? are these four the best you had on hand? were the rest all killed or something? fucking hell plot armor is gonna have to do the heavy lifting, like always.
god, now also with no morals
Wonder Woman doesn't get controlled. Only the male members of the JL do.
oh, well, that's kind of fucking stupid.
what makes her so special?
also I didn't mention aquaman, but, you know.
>what makes her so special?
Woman. one of her powers from the comics is that she cant be mind controlled
but the thing that braniac is using isn't really "true mind control", they all have their autonomy and personalities intact (or at least the flash does from the dribbles of trailers they've given us).
nevermind, it doesn't matter, couldn't pick out the more powerful SS members, to make it a little fair. Just the most popular
The real reason is obviously woman good, man bad.
how are people not sick of capeshit by now
It released endorphins and other good chemicals in the past. We continue to hope it will again.

I don't see why they have to set this in the Arkham verse when it was very dark and gritty while this game looks silly, whacky and stupid
Make a good Justice League game you fucks. Why the fucks there go too ia "just make them evil"
B-but hurr it's too hard!! Don't you know these characters are OP?!
>31 Million Views
>spent all this time to make a "coop" fighting system
>only use it like 3 times in very short missions
>never use it for a sequel
it's just so sad how much potential gaming lost after 2015
Why does Harley Quinn have such a large prominent butt in Arkham Knight?
It has to be big enough to fully envelop Ivy's face
Cool game, can't wait. Harley is MC.
Was there ever any indication before Arkham Knight that any other DC heroes and villains outside of the central Batman cast existed beyond some light easter eggs? I know Arkham Knight had that Lexcorp tower. I feel like that Arkhamverse works much better as a standalone, I see no need for them to set this game in that universe.
Superman was referenced by mooks in either Arkham City or Arkham Knight I forget which
Arkham Knight, there is also a poster for metropolis that has superman (a flying red streak) on it. John Constantine also has a private investigation firm that you can find in game too
>I see no need for them to set this game in that universe.
Was clearly just a WB executive decision as "arkham games successful so set in that universe"
Those light easter eggs are the proof. Superman and Flash both appear on billboard advertising for their city. We physically see Starro at one point. The crashed airship in AK that was servicing some off the books benefactor has Brainiac's logo everywhere.
Yeah, there's mention of "That freak in Metropolis" which is why Scarecrow said Gotham is getting blown to bits if anyone enters to explain why Superman doesn't just fly in and smash his face in.
>tfw Batman Boss fight remixes the Batman Arkham theme
new trailer is kino
Batman killing that cop is unacceptable
He's mind controlled bro
lame excuse
>le mcu humor
How does the Batsuit design get worse with every game they make?
not made by rocksteady
It literally is, retard. You're thinking of Gotham Knights.
wait it's real? i thought we were just joking around
yes its real
its real . shown at the game awards
>he said the thing
It's way too played out.
yes its cringe
They obviously added it in post because of Kevin you moron
>justice league game
>instead of playing as the characters everyone likes theyre villains and you play as the shitty characters no one cares about
what even goes through their heads when they make this shit
It's easier to make a Suicide Squad game because all the characters use guns. Making heroes with interesting powers fun to play is too much work please understand.
Warner Brother corporate synergy with movies
Edgy retards eat it up
I hope Red Hood is in this and just kills everyone
>even more shit in the vein of Avengers and Gotham Knights, which you hate with every fiber of your being
>except instead of cool bros like Thor and Iron Man, you can only play as random side antagonists you give zero fucks about
Hard pass.
You have the team that made the amazing Arkham trilogy and you have them make THIS for eight years? Are you fucking kidding me? Warner Bros are braindead.
Are we sure the people that made the Arkham games are still at rocksteady? There's been plenty of cases where games have been sold off developer name alone but behind the scenes most of the key staff that made those games people loved are long gone. Are we really sure the wizards that made one of the best looking games of all time on Unreal Engine 3 are working on this?
Well the founders left last month
>what if superheroes
>but EVIL!
boring
>what if superheroes
>but forced to become EVIL through mindcontrol
exciting
No that's more boring actually. At least the Justice Lords will advocate for fascism.
Who the fuck cares about the suicide Squad?
Warner Brothers executives
WB because it’s the Harley Quinn Gang.
Not really excited honestly, I'm mostly a basic bitch Spider-Man/Batman fan but I'd love a Superman game and I'm hoping they branch out to other superheroes soon, I want a Flash or Superman game. It's why I'm more hopeful for the Wonder Woman game, provided they don't fuck that up (if the leaks I'm seeing about Suicide Squad end up being real)
RWBYfags really are delusional but damn do they have some nice girls.
too bad they're all fucking dykes
literal pearls to the swine
Jlullaby drew them all straight that's what really matters
>jlullaby
I miss this little bro like you wouldn't believe
Here’s the lead developer on the project: Sefton Hill. He looks absolutely depressed and malnourished. I bet you anything he never wanted to make this shitty game but ((they)) forced him too. Poor guy. He looks like absolute shit. Compare this interview to any other interview about the Arkham games and you’ll see the difference is night and fucking day
he quit in December
Can you blame him? They are shitting all over his hard work with the Arkham Trilogy. He probably couldn’t handle watching his passion projects burn to the ground. Along with all the women and chuds they probably hired I would get the fuck out of dodge too.
He got what he deserved for replacing Paul Dini with some literal who writer for Arkham Knight
Agreed. We could’ve gotten Scarecrow/Hush team up, immortal clayface, baby joker, etc but instead we got AK. Asylum and City would not have been as well liked if it wasn’t for Dini
The writing for City was ass too.
Nah it was pure kino unless you're a Hugo Strange fag
Paul Dini wrote the story for AC? Dude the story sucked.
But it's the best in the series?
Arkham Asylum had the best story in the series because at least there it made sense for Batman to fight all those villain. AC on the other hands tossing a hot potato between Hugo Strange, Ra's al Ghul and Joker.
Asylum falls apart at the end with the Titan Joker shit. City actually nails the ending, maybe it was too ambitious trying to cram in too many villains but it still handled Joker and Ras very well.
The premise of AC is just too dumb to work. At least the comics has something happen for Gotham City to be separated/closed off.
I can suspend my disbelief pretty easily it's a comic book story anon
Harley Quinn is ugly therefore I'll pass
why is this dude in here having a melt down about rwby where the fuck did this shit come from
Seems like this thread attracted an autistic /co/fag
His name is Darious. He posts a lot of bullshit in the RWBY threads on /trash/
Is Darious the one desperately defending it?
Yes. He's a big fan of DC too, which is why he is the only one who is looking forward to the RWBY and Justice League crossover. bPic related is not fanmade, it's an actual screenshot from the movie.
i dont give a fuck what does any of this have to do with this game this thread is about
Some sperg just brought it up as an example of good writing and got triggered that people called the show shit
I brought up Ruby as an example of a traditionally heroic character, which she is. I'm not even talking about the show as a whole, just her character. Any criticism of her in this thread has been shallow and uninsightful, proven by how you cannot give a single example of a character resembling her despite her allegedly being "generic".
You brought up Ruby to shove your cringe waifugayry down our throats. Fuck off back to /co/.
from waht i see somebody posted an image of her than you went on crying about the show making him talk about it more
All I said was only the porn was good lol, and he admitted it
than you and the other idiot started bitching at the other both of you can fuck off
It's not like there's much to discuss about the game besides how shit it will be
who gives a shit why start arguing about something that has absolutely nothing to do whit the game at all go back to where ever the fuck they talk about the show
Because gayry should be called out and laughed at, especially when it's an autist like that
I think I'll stay.
It's still animated by Rooster Teeth? I thought they were outsourcing it
God I wish.
I think it's the /trash/ rwby defender, ignore him
a thread about the Suicide Squad game 2 fuck heads start crying about some cartoon that has nothing to do whit it yap this is Ganker alright
It probably would be too hard for them but it would have been cool if they gave like 10 or so characters to chose from and make your squad out of
this fucking thread right now what's happening
Op here. I went away and came back and not even sure what happened.
is Darious in the room with us right now
Yes right here
You can tell because he constantly reposts the same 5 reaction images.
go get some help my man
open the thread to shitpost about the game see nothing but some rwby talk
well bros?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
to bad her ass is flat so i will go with the new one
best version, only version as far as im concerned.
Arkham City
anybody see that she looks like HQ now?
oh my science
i made a better one did i miss some?
I just hope the Wonder Woman game is good. It doing well ensures Flash and Superman can get solo games. Plus the odds of it being done well might be higher, as WB Games may be less likely to micromanage it
>Series S version will be 20fps and 720p
The DCAU and its consequences have been a disaster for DC comics.
The DCAU was the last good thing we had
The DCAU is the reason why Batwank is a thing, why we have Harley Quinn, why everyone thinks the most boring Green Lantern is the face of the GLC, why Superman has to live in Batman's shadow, etc.
>The DCAU is the reason why Batwank is a thing
Oh for... Anon, Batwank has ALWAYS been a fucking thing, long before the show was on the air
But the DCAU was where it most concentrated, and is what people watched over the comics.
Anon don't go blaming the DCAU for shit that's always been a thing. That's not fair by any stretch of the imagination. Hell I'll do you one better, Batman 66. Fucker had a solution for everything in his belt, god bless Adam West
>Thoughts?
None. Still not sure why this game is happening.
>no Hawkgirl
>no Martian manhunter
A """leak""" on /co/ mentioned Batman dying and Flash going back in time to reset the timeline to post-Arkham, pre-City.
So the whole game is pointless
All games are pointless.
Post DC characters who are infinitely more deserving of a video game than Harley Quinn
Superman
And how the heck is a Hellblazer game supposed to work? John isn't about slinging spells, it'd almost have to be like Ace Attorney
>And how the heck is a Hellblazer game supposed to work? John isn't about slinging spells, it'd almost have to be like Ace Attorney
Literally pic. A third person survival horror where John has very limited access to magic, no fire arms outside of the Webley revolver he used to kill the Family Man and because its Bongistan, and whatever he can find that can be used as a weapon.
>Webley revolver he used to kill the Family Man
Nah. NEVER give John a gun
If you make ammo rare then there should be no issue.
But that's not the point, Anon. John isn't about physical confrontation, he's about outsmarting and conning people/demons
Yeah, but the Family Man was not a demon. He was a mortal man and is one of John's most dangerous enemies. John is cunning, but when he's cornered, he will fight back.
Anon no, I don't want a fucking Hellblazer game that misses the entire point of the character
You're not missing the point of Hellblazer by having John use whatever he can find to protect himself when its been done in the comics before.
You're using a exception to the rule and making it a regular game mechanic. That's the problem, and you're making it the norm
>you're making it the norm
It's not like I'm asking that John be given an M60.
Anon you're not selling me on this shit, and I don't understand why you're falling on this hill
Please, John's crappy revolver isn't even the most powerful weapon in his arsenal, yet everyone loses their shit over it.
When I think of John, I don't associate him with any weapon really
The man is canonically a weapon.
when does power girl get a game !!!
and yes i will buy this but mostly because i like DC stuff
>We will never get Arkham Batman and Arkham Superman in a friendship like this
I don't know who this is or what they're referring to
they worked on the game
And they're laughing because of the leaks? Sounds like damage control to me. These people lied about the Jason Todd thing
More like they're laughing because the leaks are fake as shit.
real or fake?
I hope it's fake
Where'd you get this?
in another thread right now
I'm going to say real, and it looks like a fucking mess. Look at this!
>Multiplayer Overwatch bullshit
>Social
>Bullshit gear
>STORE
>BATTLE PASS
This really is GaaS shit!
Its real 100%. This is another GaaS slop pushed by WB.
It's live service?
>looks
>loudouts
the gear and outfits are separate so its basiclly the system from arkham knights which sucked ass. Shitty
>Captain BOOMERANG has guns
There are literally no words that can describe how mad this makes me if it's real.
>braniac fucks shit up... again...
Tired of this green gay
Stupid. Any ONE DC hero with superspeed could kill all of them before a second is over. Hell WONDER WOMAN, could speed blitz them. Meanwhile they have Superman in the game who is damn near invincible unless you use one of his very specific weaknesses, and Flash should find you the second he's evil, because he could search the planet before I've finished jerking off. Then there's fucking Batman too, honestly how the fuck do the Suicide shitters stand a chance in hell? It only takes one of these DC heroes to beat all of them. I'm also just sick and tired of evil Superman. I get it, it's unfathomable for someone with power to do good. I wonder why that might be.
>how the fuck do the Suicide shitters stand a chance in hell?
Two words: plot armor
But they're up against the god of plot armor, and his super-powered best bud. It's fucking dumb. World's Finest alone can take on damn near anything, let alone some rag tag group of criminals with shitty personalities and shittier outfits.
Exactly!
lmao BATMAN ALONE beat all of them at the same time in the Arkham animated movie already
Some years ago they had the entire JL job to the SS because Killer Frost could suck up Superman's energy or some shit like that.
Wtf is DC smoking? I'm glad I don't read comics anymore. I know the answer to every vs question is "whoever the writer wants" but god is it fucking stupid.
my guess is:
>flash
you fight him somewhere cold and he is slowed down
>superman
you get the kryptonite pills from injustice and use kryptonite weapons
>wonder woman
devs will ingnore how powerfull she is and make her a regular sword and shield user aside from a cutscene where she gets on whatever you are with a super jump
>batman
a ripoff of the freeze fight from arkham city where your strategy only works once and he will counter it if you try again
>other heroes like martian
not in the game lol normalfags only know theese four
God I fucking hate how they pretend Wonder Woman is slow. There isn't even a convenient answer for Wonder Woman like Superman. There's fucking nothing the Suicide Squad can do short of somehow making Superman or Shazam fight her.
Do people actually like Martian Manhunter? I don't hate him, but he's kind of one note. Feels more like stronger Superman but without the ability to sundip to become disgusting.
not sure but for a justice league fan he is part of the team so a jj game or movie needs him, him being good or not is not the point.
Flash alone should have zero issues dealing with these guys by himself.
Shit, in the Hell To Pay movie, when the Squad found out they were up against the Reverse Flash they nearly shat themselves and got the fuck out of there, and at least there he had a plot reason why he couldn't just kill them all in 3 seconds(he's the same Reverse Flash from the Flashpoint movie and is using speedforce nonsense to stay alive, and the more he uses his speed the faster the clock runs out, so he has to carefully ration his superspeed).
Adding a character with superspeed just ruins any sense of drama. You just know they're going to pretend they don't have it.
Shit, he could have just been captured or something and have rescuing him be a major plot point later because his speed is such a massive advantage.
They can't even use the traditional reason Flash can get taken out easily when he's being controlled: When whoever's controlling him doesn't also have super speed or the reflexes to match it, controlled Flash tends to run in predictable straight lines that makes him fairly easy to take down.
It's just so fucking dumb. Oh no, is that an oil slick? Not even my attosecond senses can see it in time!
>Stupid. Any ONE DC hero with superspeed could kill all of them before a second is over
i can name 15 moments in dc history where speedesters got killed because they thought super speed was a guaranteed ace retard
Because it is, but the writer is the stronger than the guy with superspeed. What do you even do against superspeed? You're done before you've processed the idea to do something. Bad writing is a speedster's true weakness, because nothing short of complete invulnerability can beat it.
This. Superspeed is easily one of the best and most overpowered there is. It's nearly impossible to counter. A speedster kills you before you can blink.
And just think, that's SLOW compared to most DC speedsters.
>my speed is supe-ACK!
>speedforce trannies getting uppity again
It's time to remind them
This is a common occurrence in DC comics. It's not any less dumb when it happens to Superman, only Superman is invulnerable so people let it slide. Speedy characters get tagged on a daily basis by people who shouldn't be able to touch them in a million years. Speedsters should handle a normal person like I'd handle an ant.
Then there wouldn't be a story. If writers actually listened to the power level autists crying about Flash or Superman not being able to stop villains who aren't speedsters in one attosecond, there would be no conflict. So you have two options, either make every villain a speedster to appease a small portion of autists who actually care about power levels, or just ignore them and focus on making a coherent story that doesn't end with some asshole with plot device speed powers fixing everything immediately.
Batman's boring, when is Hal getting a game.
>"my ring is only limited by my creativity"
>creates bigger fist
Hal is the living conduit of willpower, he could vaporize you with a flick of the finger.
'sup idiot
That's just the color yellow. Bring some fear to the next fight if you wanna tussle with a lantern.
Yellow hasn't been a weakness for Green Lantern for years my dude.
>humans are the strongest ring users because they are the most creative race
this is canon btw
except hal isn't the creative one
why is batman alive
Because he has great healthcare, due to being rich.
But then they'd just do some typical "I have a flamethrower and easily defeated Superman 1.5!" I mean yeah Martian Manhunter isn't always weak against fire, except when he is. He's either over it or he's not, and it either hurts him or it's in his head. Fucking green ass mother fucker.
I am so tired of the evil Superman thing. It's everywhere
If the story rumors are true, then it's about to get Velma-levels of edge. No one is going to be happy besides the writers.
You don't do 10+ years of the Arkham universe building fans and do Batman like they're rumored to do... Especially for Conroy's last performance in this universe.
Will probably be mediocre but I think most are buying it to hear the last voice role for Kevin Conway.
I think it’s retarded that they are making a suicide game instead of a justice league game, why the fuck did this get pushed over the potential batman beyond game or the superman game? What a bunch of retards
>batman beyond
which nobody remembers exist
I'd be more interested if you played as selina, ivy, harley and livewire.
