Also a concept for a “Parasite minion” that actually makes for a cool design for Parasite himself.



I’m glad I’m not the first to think that Parasite should have tentacles lol. Anything to up the body horror of him should be fair game.

Many of Superman's rogues have had various looks over the years (sometimes it even alters their origin), when it comes to Brainiac, what is your favorite look for the guy? The green skinned Coluan man, the robot? A mix of the two?

Probably either the Injustice 2 look or the Superman ‘78 look where he’s David Bowie and wears a “skin suit” that outwardly makes him look like the Coluan he once was, but underneath he’s the skull faced robot.

Oh yeah, I remember Returns had a few random Rogues in it.

Metallo, Mongul, Bizarro, Mxy, and Riot of all characters. Lex was in cutscenes too. The concept art shows a completely different game from what they actually ended up making, another case of leaving me wondering what could have been if they had only gotten the time and money that Rocksteady did.

You have to appreciate that the attempt was made. I never played it and I doubt it reviewed well but it sounds like it shows a template for how to make a proper Superman game.

I loved playing it as a kid because it was the only game you could fly (and also because I could play as Superman of course). The flight and heat vision/arctic breath/super breath controls were a ton of fun and did give a good blueprint. But the “city health bar” was boring and made the game one giant escort mission, the combat was pretty meh and the boss fights were disappointing. The city was also pretty bland and generic, but so much of that can be attributed to it being a cheap movie tie in game that didn’t get the attention/budget it needed to really shine. If only WB would actually green light a proper game that gets the budget and time of an Arkham game I’m convinced it could work.

That reminds me of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 game where they forced you to do repetitive side-missions otherwise your reputation would get bad and you'd have to fight more enemies.

The best theatrical Lex Luthor may very well be coming from a Super Pets movie

Definitely, my choice would be the Robotic/Skeletal version (XD)

Marc Maron... that could be something for sure.
