What David Corenswet’s Superman Could Look Like in a Man of Steel Video Game

by

A devotee of Superman has fantasized about how actor David Corenswet might appear in a video game centered around the Man of Steel. Superman, undoubtedly one of the most renowned fictional characters, is instantly recognizable, his power set serves as the blueprint for numerous superheroes, and his tales have captivated audiences for close to a century. Yet, translating Superman beyond the comic books has proven challenging. Films such as Man of Steel represented a valiant attempt, but the divided reception upon release has kept us from seeing another standalone Superman movie for over a decade.

It’s been quite some time, nearly two decades, since we last had a new Superman video game. The last one was “Superman Returns,” and the challenge has always been to create a game around a character who can’t die. This makes it tough to establish stakes or regular ways for the character to fail. In “Superman Returns,” the city served as an indicator of Superman’s health – if the city suffered too much damage from attacks, he failed. It was an innovative concept, but one that didn’t seem to generate much excitement as a potential long-term mechanic for Superman games. Warner Bros. has hinted at their interest in creating new Superman games, but we’re still unsure about the details.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but get thrilled at the prospect of more Superman video games! With James Gunn leading the charge in crafting fresh DC titles set within his cinematic universe, it seems plausible that future Superman games would star David Corenswet as our favorite Kryptonian.

Inspired by this possibility, a fellow fan named Allintoart shared their vision on Reddit by creating a digital render of what David Corenswet’s Superman might look like in-game. This stunning artwork stays true to the character’s screen-accurate suit but makes subtle adjustments to better fit the actor, addressing concerns about wrinkles that some fans have had with previous iterations.

Certainly, there’s no definite timeline for when a Superman video game might become available. It might still be quite a while before we see one, but it’s exciting to witness fans creating concepts of what such a game could entail. It’s highly improbable that any future Superman game will follow the narrative of Corenswet’s movies directly, but it could present a complementary tale set between the films, including characters like Lex Luthor and Lois Lane.

In a similar vein, The Amazing Spider-Man game followed an approach where it was positioned post-movie finale, weaving a fresh narrative around Dr. Connors’ return. Although this wasn’t officially part of the storyline, a new Superman could emulate this by working with James Gunn to ensure compatibility within the broader DC universe. Unfortunately, the DC video game realm is currently experiencing some difficulties, stemming from the termination of projects like The Flash and Wonder Woman games.
