So I just read from dualshockers on rumors of 2 canceled superman games:
Sigfield mentions how WB was taking pitches from different game directors and producers back in 2013 for a Superman game. One of these pitched titles was an open-world game that was similar to Marvel’s Spider-Man, which was released last year. However, the project got cancelled during its prototyping phase.
The next Superman game would’ve been called Superman: Unbound, which is the same title as a Superman animated film that released in 2013. Set to take place in a city called Kandor, the game wouldn’t have been as open-world as the previous project. Additionally, some of the villains Superman would’ve encountered include Braniac and Doomsday to name a few.
Ultimately, the project was cancelled due to a mandate from WB that every DC Comics game had to be made using Rockstedy’s Batman: Arkham engine. Because of this requirement, the team couldn’t get Superman’s flight to work.
