Superman's last proper video game was with Superman Returns in 2006, meaning two whole console generations have passed since then. The Man of Steel has had a pretty troubled history outside of his comics from cinematic bombs to lackluster games, it's safe to say WB doesn't really have any idea what to do with the character. "Who knows? We may be back one day…" he signed off.A Superman-inspired game has been making the rounds on social media and it looks pretty incredible. In the same Facebook thank you letter to fans, Taylor hinted at a possible return to the comic book franchise. To inspire us" quotes seems to corroborate this theory. If set in the timeline before Superman kills Lois, Taylor would get to write a Superman that isn't tainted by the tragedy and perhaps leads to a whole new alternate reality in which the character stays true to the writer's view of him. So, to make this believable, Superman would have to try to do everything for the right reasons, but overreach, and be stopped by his best friend." "Sadly, loving Superman, I think I knew how to hurt him. "One tragedy wouldn’t see Superman stroking a white cat and cackling… I mean, it might, but that would be because he’d rescued the cat from a tree and he was laughing at a wholesome joke - like Batman locking himself out of the Batmobile. Taylor described being overjoyed when he was asked to write Clark and Lois… "until the kicker," which was learning that in the game Superman would turn into a dictator, and Taylor needed to write a way for him to accidentally kill Lois and their unborn child in the prequel comic book series.Īfter the 'gut punch,' Taylor agreed to write the series, "But I wasn’t going to have Superman simply snap," he explained. Cynicism is simpler, but idealism is worth striving for, even if you have to brush the sides of saccharine."
But my dream was always writing Superman. "They say most comic writers want to write Batman and, sure, Batman’s up there. He remains my absolute favorite hero to this day," he posted. In a 2018 Facebook post that served as a thank you letter to fans at the end of the Injustice 2 series, Taylor detailed his admiration for the Man of Steel. Taylor has been vocal about the fact Superman is his favorite superhero and described being asked to write the original Injustice: Gods Among Us series and learning the premise as a "punch in the gut." Given the first four quotes, the use of the original series logo font for the first two letters, and the art prominently featuring Superman, Newsarama still anticipates the new series to possibly be about Batman and other DC heroes either going back to the Gods Among Us prequel timeline to prevent Superman from killing Lois and the reality that leads to, and either succeeding or chronicling their attempt.
