Why is DC so far behind marvel in the games department? Literally only batman has gotten a good game despite plenty of DC characters deserving one
>>
>>740213572
>in the games department
in every department, and that's a bad thing
>>
>>740213572
Everyone knows Batman has the best villains.
>>
>>740213572
Batman is a dude with martial arts and a fuck ton of gadgets. So it's easy to make a game around him. Other popular heroes all have super powers that people are to lazy to write around. Also what >>740213657 said. DC has very few Villains that people know or care about that aren't Batman villains
>>
>>740213572

Batfags are all biased. There's a whole universe of amazing characters with awesome stories and incredible villains to explore. But all you'll ever care about is bat faggotry. Bat this, bat that. That's why WB keeps squeezing out loafs of bat shit onto us. Because you faggots keep asking for it.

>>740213839
It's from the episode where all the adults were magic'd away all the adults on the planet and couldn't return so they had to de-age them so they could beat the guy who cast the spell.
>>
>>740213885
I noticed despite saying there are many amazing characters and villains you failed to name any of them.
>>
>>740213657
I feel like Plastic Man would slot in real nice as a Batman villain. I don't imagine him being as clinically insane in that kind of role so Arkham might not quite right for him.
Fun to imagine.

they should've used the nemesis system for a full on justice league game but no they had to use it for a wonderwoman game then cancel it fucking cunts

Batman Arkham were the perfect storm. "Marvel Games" is just Disney's jewry with Sony and Big Tech businesses like Netflix, to make license deals and seizing famous developers to make their slop. It's good slop, but it is still slop.
Arkham trilogy was made by true gaming companies, in the up and coming AAA environment of the UK at the time, and the game-dev mekkah of Montreal. It was "AAA-core" at the time. Spider-Man is not that. Spider-Man is Sony and their "movie studios" and Insomniac has never made anything over an 8/10 in their entire career. Other marvel games were also california-made like Crystal Dynamics's game, and it's obviously inferior.
>>
>>740213572
marvel has more focus around teams
DC doesn't have that outside the justice league
Batman has the bat family but its kinda pointless cause they basically all do the same thing martial art expert with gadgets.
Meanwhile look at how varied the x-men games are if you don't like 1 character there's plenty to swap between.
its why games centered around any single dc hero is going to be really lack luster, oh cool superman can fly breath ice and punch people real fun for 5 mins.
If there's ever going to be a good dc game its unironically going to have to be like a sucide squad situation except done better.

How are you meant to make a game around superman? A guy who can just destroy planets if he has the mind for it, compare that to spiderman ironman cyclops logan the punisher and the others and it's much easier to imagine games around them and them fighting with eachother in marvel rivals since they're all super powered but somewhat grounded, superman's whole shtick is NOT being grounded and always one upping himself with crazy feats, same with the flash.
With all of that being said, wonderwoman and green arrow are DC's best bet for making a good(*non batman) game imo, both are grounded, both have a ton of fanservice(black canary, the amazons etc) all you need to do is make the gameplay for wonderwoman's game akin to a hack n slash but with fists instead of swords, the gameplay would cater to dmc and gameplayfags, and it would also fill a niche since a game with hot women beating eachother up cartoonishly scratches an itch that hasn't been scratched ever since rumble roses. Alternatively if they're gonna make a green arrow game then make it and adventure shooter like tomb raider 2013 with the arrows doing all kinds of stuff and some close quarters combat here and there and fan service from black canary. Mind you i doubt they'll ever do that since they're retards and want to milk batman and superman eternally.
any good comic book recommendations with heroes like black canary with some good decent art and some fanservice? Or really any good comic book stories in general, last i read was injustice and superman red son and both were retarded, not really the worst but you can see the moments where the writers just went full retard.

>>
>>740213978
not that anon. but here's a list of cool non Batman characters that deserve a game.
>Deadman
>Plastic Man
>the Haunted Tank unit
>The Demon
>Hitman
>The Spectre
>OMAC
>Sgt Rock
>the Blackhawks
>Captain Marvel (i refuse to call him "Shazam". that is the Wizard's name.)
>Kid Eternity
>Human Bomb
>Green Lantern
>Green Arrow
>Adam Strange
>the Atomic Knights
>Kamandi
>>740214656
just base it around the Golden Age version.
Faster than a speeding bullet, More powerful than a locomotive, Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. nothing less than a bursting shell can penetrate his skin, etc.
>>
>>740214814
i think a GTA-like starring Hitman would be fun. don't know what the plot would be, though.
Kid Eternity's summoning powers would be fun to work a game around.
OMAC's weird future setting would make for a fun shooter.
>>
>>740214731
nta but that's a retarded response, the burden of proof lies on the one who makes the claim, you're saying there are amazing villans so name them, otherwise you're just lying.
I like some of flash's villans and think he has a good personality i can *kinda* see a game made around him being an action beat em up but it would be a little stupid imo, also the gorilla and mirror master seem cool
>>
>>740214814
John Constantine too

In fact all we have in terms of constantine outside of comics is a Keanu Reeves movie
>>
>>740215057
there's a tv show
>>
>>740214814
Off topic but half of the names you mentioned are characters that are obscure which wouldn't help the game succeed, tho i agree with the more notable ones like plastic man green arrow etc
>just base it around the Golden Age version
Fair i guess but if superman can't fly then it kindof doesn't feel like superman, i feel like there a balance that can be struck but i personally can't imagine it or find it
>>
>>740213885
Will never understand the popularity of Batman, conceptually he's a lame knock off of Zorro and The Shadow. Those characters kill their enemies, but Batman enables criminals and it gets so bad its even mentioned in-universe within the actual Batman media. And yet idiots still love this extremely lame character. Batman is shit.
>>
>>740215235
>that are obscure
so?.
people outside of comic book readers had no idea who the Guardians Of The Galaxy or Peacemaker were. then they got movies (or appeared in a movie and then got a tv show in the case of Peacemaker) and now they're pretty famous.
>>740215252
The Shadow is far superior. Lamont Cranston is my nigga
>>
>>740215252
>Will never understand the popularity of Batman
He's cool and his story is nice
>conceptually he's a lame knock off of Zorro and The Shadow. Those characters kill their enemies, but Batman enables criminals and it gets so bad its even mentioned in-universe within the actual Batman media.
That's less a batman problem and more a problem of capeshit making every story last in perpetual purgatory, batman can and should logically either come to the conclusion that some villans need to be killed or put them in a jail that can never be escaped from, the problem there is that it would kill their cashcows, so instead you have 5 trillion bigillon spinoffs where "batman but he died to jonkler!!" or "batman but he kills people!!" just like superman red son(superman but he's a communist!!) So the reason batman and his villans stay alive is moreso a failing on an industry level then with the character conceptually, characters in manga like naruto are allowed to have a beginning and end to their stories, but characters in comics are just kept in purgatory where no real progress is made, and it hurts the story because you get shit like the 5 trillion kid robins that come and go with batman each time promising "this is the last time!! no more kids that die to crime!!!" only to go back on his word immediately after
>>
ITTT?
post em
>>
>>740215294
>so?.
Hard to make a profit when you can't advertise to the general masses, everyone knows the Martian and the flash, no one knows who sgt rocks is, kid eternity only had like 3 comics and they were all before the 2000s unless I'm mistaken
>people outside of comic book readers had no idea who the Guardians Of The Galaxy
They had a movie and progressively got shit, same with peacemaker, in DC's situation I'd argue that leading with something strong before they try to popularise other characters would be the better approach
>>
>>740213572
Because they are retards that don't care about their gaming division at all. WB canceled several games to focus on Harry Potter and LOTR.
>>
>>740213572
Marvel doesn't have any games as good as the Arkham trilogy, and most of their good games are old (Hulk Ultimate Destruction, the older Spider-Man games) or defunct (Marvel Heroes 2015). Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 are slop.
>>
>>740213572
After superman 64, they never want to make another superman game again
And for the rest of their IPs they keep trusting them to shitter studios for some reason, whenever we actually get a game.
>>
>>740215154
Had to google it because i'd never heard of it and it was cancelled before they aired the last episode of season 1

Twitterfags will cope Wonder Woman, but she fell off popularity wise so much.
>>
>>740216697
There's a lot of constantine meets the justice league stuff but very little of just constantine though

I would love a constantine game

Still kicking the shit out of Marvel in animation and have been for as long as I've been alive.
But yes, Marvel in current year is killing them in games, comics, and movies. Both of their live action shows for the most part suck, but Marvel wins here too from sheer quantity and the fact that wading through all the shit they put out still gets you gems like Wonderman.

>>740214656
>How are you meant to make a game around superman?
Smallville game. Not necessarily in the same universe, just the concept of a young Clark finding his powers. If you insist on him being an adult, Superman Returns had the right idea of giving Metropolis a health gauge instead of Superman. Lastly, just make a Supergirl game where you unlock Superman at the end which is basically playing with God Mode cheats on. Supergirl fulfills the purpose of having Clark's powerset but a weaker version for different takes on the Superman story in other mediums, I think it can work for games and their gameplay.
>spoiler
I unfortunately got into comics late in life when fanservice wasn't allowed unless the character was a hag. Most of the ones that I can think of are pretty mid. Regardless, I'm going to recommend Absolute Batman for fulfilling "male power fantasy" and because everytime Selina/Catwoman shows up, she's sexy as shit. Oh, actually Wilson's current run of Poison Ivy is really good and Pam walking around ass naked or close to it is in just about every other issue.

Because they focus on only the big names and only whatever WB specifically wants to push at the time. It's why the Suicide Squad was a thing for close to a decade. They also cancel projects like the Superman (If I remember right), Flash, and now Wonder Woman all the time. You also constantly keep getting Batman games (Lego Arkham and Gotham Knights are two recent examples) while Marvel does random stuff like the GotG game and Midnight Suns of all things with Blade supposedly getting one and I can't remember if that Cap/BP game was cancelled or not.

Why are they not finding specific companies to work with for these games instead of doing them in house? Insomniac made good games in R&C and Spyro and managed to make something out of Spidey, it isn't rocket surgery here.

Where in the hell is a modern Static game? inFamous is literally right there showing you it's possible yet no one does anything. You don't even hire Sucker Punch to just make the same game but with flying on a trash can lid, it's insane.
Where is the modern Constantine game? We have the original Keanu game AND various Lovecraft games like The Sinking City or Call of Cthulhu (The new one, not the old one) to show you how you can structure this.
Where is the modern Teen Titans game that isn't based around Go? It's so braindead simple to appeal to everyone's nostalgia via some sort of GotG knockoff yet it's not done.
Where is the modern Green Lantern game? You could even structure it like a Metroid Prime if you wanted visiting different planets and using different rings for different Constructs if you want to do something out there.
Where is the Marvel Ultimate Alliance equivalent for DC? You can copy it verbatim with zero issues.
Where is your Kamen Rider knockoff game of Blue Beetle?

Hell, why is there not a DC and Marvel crossover game at this point? You can manage to get the band back together for the comics but not do something everyone on this planet loves and do a crossover game?
