DC Studios head James Gunn has elaborated a bit more on how video games will fit into its new cinematic universe. Superhero games have dramatically evolved over the last 20 years or so. In the early 2000s, a lot of the biggest ones were tie-ins with the various superhero movies that were coming out at a rapid rate. That’s how we got classics like Spider-Man 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, some developers figured out how to crack the code and make some really prestigious standalone games like the Batman Arkham series and later, Marvel’s Spider-Man. Movie tie-in games are largely a thing of the past as gaming has changed a lot since those days and instead, developers are focused on telling their own original stories.
First of all, that’s an overstatement of time – it’s closer to four years if you’ve got everything lined up. Secondly, we’re planned out beyond that far already, so we’re good!
