It appears that Sony has an exclusive Superman title in the works according to Microsoft's lawyers:

What are the odds this is a typo and it is supposed to read Spider-Man?

 

[cursed knowledge]

it's obviously Spider-Man though

 

[Spork4000]

Probably meant Spider-man and it's a mistake.

 

[TΛPIVVΛ]

Huh!? Surely spider-man?

 

[Fisty]

Maybe they mean Spider lol

Also Spider-Man absolutely drove console sales, come on

It's a typo for sure.

 

[megamanofnumbers]

That might be a typo. Spiderman is similar to Superman

 

[Decarb]

Angie come on lmao

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Niche man strikes again

 

[JuicyPlayer]

Why would WB Games let Sony make a Superman game?

 

[Potterson]

If it's about impact that was made, it's obvious it's Spider-Man and some businessperson just confused one with the other. But let's wait and see how many news sites will write about it :P

 

[Mikch85]

Angie wanting her weekly quota of closed by mods threads I see.

 

[Dyle]

They had to rebrand the superhero previously known as Spiderman because of arachnophobes

 

[Kadzork]

Please - it's Super-Man.

🙃

Dumb lawyers, everyone knows Super-Man has a hyphen

 

[BasilZero]

Lmao

 

[PlanetSmasher]

This is why people shouldn't be screenshotting every single page of every single legal filing made by every company involved in this stupid buyout.

Microsoft lawyers terrified of spiders, confirmed.

 

[Footos22]

Angie wanting the record for most closed threads

 

[Doctor Avatar]

Please - it's Super-Man.

Super-Spider

 

[Macca]

FF7 Remake is also a first party title.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

It must be a typo. I blame Jimmy McGill for this obvious chicanery.

 

[GamerEDM]

superman fans deserve this , maybe rocksteady was working on 2 projects

 

[Apathy]

Typo is my guess

 

[Dust]

You actually made thread on this 🙈

 

[snake2531]

Probably a typo. Not surprising though, as Spider-Man is so niche they probably thought he wasn't a real character and put Superman instead.

Right? Xbox practically exists because of Halo CE. Halo 3 was cataclysmic

 

[Masagiwa]

lmao

 

[Gavalanche]

Its a pretty random typo. If it was Spiber-man, or Spider-maw or something like that sure. But they aren't even that similar to each other!

(its a typo. Or a mistake).

 

[Jake2byFour]

Inb4theclose 😂

 

[Sidewinder]

You made a thread about it.

😂

 

[TheRealTalker]

Super-Man, Spider-Man, same thing.

 

[Theorry]

I mean easy mistake by someone who is probably not paid much
/s

 

[platocplx]

Spider-Man SuperMan Same difference they start with an S

Why would Marvel let Sony make a Spider-man game?

 

[IDontBeatGames]

Smh Angie trying to bait me and other DC fans

Don't forget Resident Evil too

 

[Yippiekai]

Unbelievably, they'll even release a Superman 2 game this year.

Like 99.99% sure it's a typo.

 

[IIFloodyII]

You know a lawyer's good when they bamboozle themselves.

 

[Wonky Mump]

That has to be a typo.

But I'd absolutely love a good Superman game.

Disney shut down their game divisions and just license stuff out now.

Well sure, but its not like DC Games are tearing it up :P

I don't think this is true by the way. However, if Sony really approached DC with an offer to put one of their first party game developers on a Superman, I wouldnt be overwhelmingly shocked if DC let them. I would be shocked if Sony did it to begin with, but still :P
