The Struggles Of Making Good Superhero Games

Last week something cool was released that comic book fans and movie geeks were eagerly anticipating: the first proper trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man finally debuted.  Originally there was a small level of apprehension about Sony Pictures’ choice to reboot the Spider-Man film franchise, but in lieu of how bad the third movie was, I’ll never let Sam Raimi live down dancing and jiving Peter Parker and the poor Symbiote execution, such a thing needed to happen sooner rather than later.  

Warner Brothers Interactive acquires Batman developer Rocksteady

It shouldn’t come as that much if a surprise considering they’ve taken over the publishing rights of Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, but today Warner Brothers has announced that they’ve bought a majority stake in developer Rocksteady.  The small UK developer who wowed us last year with the amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum will now join Warner Brother Interactive’s stable of developers which includes Midway and TT Games.

Aside from the massive success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman reboot the DC superheroes we know and love have failed to get the screentime they deserve.
