This Unseen64 video covers a cancelled Justice League comic book game by Double Helix Games, which was planned to release on the Xbox 360, as well as PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Nintendo Wii. This DC Comics Justice League Arcade game would have been a beat 'em up style game, with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern all playable.

I mean, looking at the video, I can't say it looks all that fun. The gameplay itself looks like it would just be incredibly boring and the graphics are surprisingly meh for an Xbox 360 game given the likes of Halo Reach. If you want an example of the kind of gameplay I'd expect, look at The Incredible Hulk - Ultimate Destruction, it's available for Xbox, PS2 and GameCube, most people emulate the gamecube version but the Xbox version is considered the best.

you know, when i see the Superman games that have been made so far, i can't help but wonder: is Superman too broken, power-wise, to yield a great game? i mean, Shadow of Apokolips was decent and is probably the best you can get from him so far (Superman Returns is also cut from that cloth, but it's too constrained by the cash-in tie-in formula), but i still think it would take a hefty engine to properly convey Supes' raw strength, for starters, such as context sensitivity for lifting or destroying objects or something. or preventing attack buttons from working when they are directed at harmless objects, complete with Superman commenting something like "i can't risk the innocents' safety", kind of like they had in PS1 Spider-Man (it would also prevent you from just flying off the map if it's an open-world game). anyway, i think it's not about Superman himself, but everything around him. it's like, how do you translate properly the strength of a guy who can push planets?

Isn't that what they're doing now? They established the universe with "Man of Steel," "Batman vs. Superman," "Wonder Woman," and "Suicide Squad" before launching the Justice League movie (which comes out this month, not next year). While only "Wonder Woman" stands up to the same quality as most of the MCU, at least they're trying to establish things first this time before trying the ensemble film.

Hi there, this was great to see. Believe it or not but I was the lead designer and design director of the justice league game shown in this video as well as the lead designer for the Green Lantern game it transformed into. The majority of the information in this video is correct however there are a few things that are incorrect or not mentioned that people may find interesting. For example, we actually did begin recording voiceover with professional actors and I have a couple pictures to prove it. I also had the privilege of casting and directing the voiceover sessions. I’m happy to tell you that I cast Lance Henrickson as cyborg superman and Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash. Meeting them in person and feeding them lines of dialogue that I had contributed writing efforts on was a dream come true and I will never forget those days in the recording studio. It’s been several years since I’ve seen footage of this game that we worked so passionately on and it brings a tear to my eye to see awesome videos like this. If anyone would care to know more about this game feel free to ping me as I’m happy to talk about it! Also please forgive any typos I blame voice to text. Thanks again for the great video!
