The studio, well-known for their work on the acclaimed Batman Arkham series that includes Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight, has been developing a new game for some time now. Rumors have been swirling for years on the possibility it would focus on Superman following the success of the Dark Knight’s gaming franchise and a listing on Game System Requirements for a project entitled “Superman: World’s Finest” with Rocksteady Studios listed as the developer.
