In an interview with Yahoo Games (via ComicBookMovie), Batman: Arkham City writer, Paul Dini, has set his sights on writing for a Superman video game.
With Batman: Arkham City releasing later this month, Paul Dini is already thinking about future projects he may like to work on. While he named it would be fun to write about “Captain Marvel or maybe Green Lantern“, his first choice is definitely Superman.
“He’s [Superman] pretty much the number one in the DC pantheon, and I think not enough has been done with him to make him a character, as he’s got amazing powers, he can fly super fast and everything, but also there’s a level to his character that I don’t think has been explored yet in video games to kind of get underneath who he is and into his heart a little bit.
I think there’s a lot of reinvention being done on Superman at the moment, both in the comics and in the movies and I think it would be fun to revisit that character and kind of see what makes him tick.”
It would be great timing if he starts writing about a Superman game. The new Superman movie is released late 2012 and if that’s popular, I’m sure fans would love to see a great Superman game. Superman games have not been received well over the years. Remember Superman 64 anyone?
