I realize that within the past few years, there's been such a lack of variety in recent DC games. Like ignoring the lack of quality of the most recent games because that's a separate rant, the lack of variety is what I'm upset about. All the companies WB has under its belt and they haven't really done anything good or interesting with the IP since Injustice in 2017.
Like it's obviously very cool that both DC and Marvel is able to deliver on strong, single player story focused games in the vein of the Arkham Games, Insomniac Spider-Man, and even Guardians of the Galaxy, but if you're looking for variety besides that, you'd find little luck on the DC side of things.
Multiversus did something new which was having DC heroes in a Smash-like game which I was really into, but with it being a WB IP game not a DC game, you only got the surface level characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn. The lego games count for something... if you still have PS3 or Xbox 360.
It just seems like nowadays, the only thing WB Games knows to do with the DC property is make uninspired live service gimmicky slop or go back to Batman games.
And to add insult to injury, Marvel is making games not just with good quality, but VARIETY. With them, you've got the usual AAA story games but also an X-Com like card based strategy game with roleplaying (Midnight Suns), a hero shooter (Marvel Rivals), and they most recently introduced a 2D beat 'em up called Cosmic Annihilation. So if one game genre isn't your cup of tea, you have a bunch of others. And I get it, it's because they license their games but could you really see WB games publishing any of this? They have a bunch of studios themselves and could've easily had one of their own developers developing quick, non-AAA games like Cosmic Annihilation or Midnight Suns but nothing creative has been done at all.
I'd love to see new creative DC games that explore a non-traditional genre of games. Imagine a Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 type game but for DC Heroes and Villains as champions fight for death-match games, or retro 2D a top down Justice League game, or a Justice League Dark turn based RPG, or a freaking Injustice 3 with new and old DC heroes or villains.
The Batman
They're well designed and very intimidating and you need that to strike fear in criminals.

*Remember to be kind and civilized about this*
Why are New Earth & Prime Earth characters separated as different continuities when storylines, writers, and the big names at DC comics have all said that "everything is canon. And modern storylines where the editor's note calls back to pre-Flashpoint stories as if you are supposed to know that New Earth and Prime Earth are the same continuity. Even when it has been mentioned in recent years that Barry Allen (Prime Earth) was the first person to travel between Earth-One and Earth-Two, where even Earth-One would be considered canon to New Earth and Prime Earth. There has ONLY been support backing-up Earth-One, New Earth, and Prime Earth as one continuity. So, I'm basically saying: why can't anyone edit and weave in the continuities as one like it has been mentioned to be several times. Even with characters who reference the pre and post-flashpoint, act as if there was an amnesiac state or ignore it and reference all the pre-flashpoint stories all the time. (yes, I know it would take forever to do, and I apologize if it seems like I'm saying it's easy to do. It's not. And I would happily help with doing so..). And also, I'm pretty sure Geoff Johns' statement with Wally West back in Rebirth has been disregarded/retconned years ago. But, if you cannot do this, can we be given a thorough answer to this in the comments, please. Also, please be respectful and civilized about this. Thank You.
Zero Hour is brought up during Joshua Williamson's Green Arrow 2023
Lian Harper comes back from the dead also in Joshua Williamson's Green Arrow 2023
Wally references the fact that he and Wolfe knew eachother from Geoff Johns' run in 2000 iinto Jeremy Adams' run in 2022.
Characters such as the Robins and others have their pre-flashpoint designs in fix.
Huntress remembers the events of No Man's Land in 1999 during Detective Comics #1050 in 2021.
The History of the DC Universe releases in coming months, and I believe bringing Earth-One, New Earth & Prime Earth continuities merge as one Prime Earth continuity, the way the head editors/writers intend for their readers to remember that "everything matters".
Who are some characters that you feel are pretty much the same deal? Their creations don't have to overlap (ex. how two different characters have been created simply because the writers weren't allowed to use John Constantine), but if they are interlinked in their creations or there have been comics that have addressed their similarities, feel free to share
I for one have always been curious as to how come Vandal Savage and General Immortus have never interracted (at least to my knowledge). Two evil immortals with similar enough deals of commanding armies and having positions of power over history, it's curious to me that I've never seen them meet each other and address their similarities
