The question is - now that we have these characters, are we going to do the follow-through to develop them further? Are we going to really explore their stories now that they've come out, and is this going to be a lasting part of the lore? I was excited about it yesterday. Steve Orlando: I can't say I was surprised, just because we had already seen Tim Drake coming out as bi finally. Mic: What was your reaction to the news about Superman coming out? Mic spoke to Orlando about what the Superman news means and how queerness has historically been treated in comics. Orlando is a queer comics writer who has written for heavy hitters like Batman and Wonder Woman, and also worked on Midnighter, a comic whose titular character in 2015 became the first gay male superhero to ever lead a book at Marvel or DC. Steve Orlando certainly thinks so - though he has some caveats. The announcement might be seen as part of a larger shift in comics over the last several years, as the Marvel and DC universes have begun to diversity their roster - from the popular Miles Morales, an Afro-Latino teen from Brooklyn, becoming Spiderman, to Tim Drake, otherwise known as Robin, recently coming out. Jon will share a kiss with his male hacker friend Jay Nakamura in the comic, written by Tom Taylor with art by John Timms. DC comics announced on Monday that in an upcoming November issue, Superman: Son of Kal-El #5, Jonathan Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, will come out as bisexual. Perhaps this first hint will finally lead to the long-awaited next game for the Man of Steel.Ī Superman game is rumored to be in development from WB Montreal.Among the countless people who celebrated National Coming Out Day earlier this week, one of them was none other than Superman himself.
#WILL THERE BE A SUPERMAN GAME CODE#
With the DC Extended Universe attempting to build steam, Warner Brothers is likely hard at work trying to find someone who can crack the code to making a great Superman game. Finding the right kind of game world for him to inhabit, and finding the right story to tell that will draw players in, is proving to be kryptonite to developers. Superman is a difficult character to create a game around, given the myriad of powers at his disposal. With speculation growing over what the latest Batman game will be about, it should come as no surprise that leaks and rumors like this latest on a potential Superman game are beginning to surface. Since then, WB Games was previously linked to an open-world Superman game around 2013, and Rocksteady has been at the center of most rumors after their success handling the Arkham franchise. This game made it fairly far along in production, but financial woes beset the company and it was forced to shutter.
The first to suffer this fate was an open-world game that would have been called Superman: Man of Steel from developer Factor 5. A studio pitches a game idea to Warner Brothers, produces some early assets, does up some concept art, shows off said art, and then promptly cancels the project. There is a noticeable pattern with the legendary franchise when it comes to video game production. This has been an ongoing issue since the last stand-alone Superman game, 2006's Superman Returns. This new information would give credence to Rocksteady's repeated claims that it is not developing the next Superman title. If the leak is to be believed, WB Montreal may also be working on the next game featuring the Man of Steel. Inside a leak for the upcoming Batman game being developed by WB Montreal is another nugget of information concerning a future Superman game. RELATED: The 10 Worst Superhero Video Games
Rocksteady has been linked to the project in the past, but every rumor about an upcoming game for the original DC hero is shot down just as quickly.
This latest tidbit is a scoop that Clark Kent would love to get into the pages of the Daily Bugle, but concrete information on anything Superman-related remains hard to come by. With so much speculation swirling around what form the next Batman game will take, news about other DC heroes is bound to percolate. The wait for another Superman game could be over at long last.
