Shared just yesterday on X, a quoted post commenting on gameplay ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguesuggested 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 ofMetropolis inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueas “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 theofficial release date ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguebefore 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.
