A recent viral post on X reignited rumors of video game developer Rocksteady Studios potentially working on a Superman game, but reporter Jason Schreier says there is zero truth to the claim. As fans look forward to playing as iconic characters in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, conversations about the game's origins have sparked debate among fans.

Having previously released the Batman Arkham game series, Rocksteady Studios is currently working on finalizing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to meet its February 2024 launch. However, a viral post suggesting that the game was a re-hash of what was meant to be a Superman title prompted player discussions and led to Jason Schreier stepping in and putting an end to the gossip.

Shared just yesterday on X, a quoted post commenting on gameplay of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League suggested that the upcoming title was originally meant to be a Superman game. Fans immediately began discussing the matter, with many seemingly believing the claim, in spite of a lack of evidence. Many comments highlighted the setting of Metropolis in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as "proof" that the game was originally intended to kick-off a Superman franchise. Others stated that they felt it was illogical for characters like Harley Quinn and Deadshot to be scaling massive structures, so the verticality of the game may have been a hint that a different DC icon was originally slotted for a starring role.

In spite of fan enthusiasm and discussions, game journalist Jason Schreier quickly shut down the Superman rumors. According to Schreier, Rocksteady has never pitched a Superman game, let alone started working on such a project. While many continued to question the setting and gameplay elements, Schreier suggested that fans wait for the official release date of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League before drawing conclusions. Fans thanked Shreier for putting the rumor to rest, though some continued to question the possibility for Rocksteady to release a Superman game in the future.

Gaming rumors frequently stir up enthusiasm among fans, and the recent suggestion of a big studio like Rocksteady working on a Superman game has audiences excited for more superhero titles. With the recent release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming Suicide Squad and Wolverine games, players have plenty of exciting comic book releases to look forward to, even if Superman is not yet on the list.
