Footage From Cancelled DC Universe Fighting Game From Killer Instinct Developer Appears Online
Double Helix, the developer that recently brought Killer Instinct back to life (and then handed it over to Iron Galaxy after being purchased by Amazon) had a Justice League game in the works that was cancelled. Some footage from that game recently appeared online.
You can see the gameplay below, which was uploaded by YouTube channel ptoponline. The game was apparently code named Green Lantern: A Justice League Game and according to ptoponline, some concept art from the game leaked in 2012, but nobody knew what it was for. The footage shows Batman taking on Superman in a fighting game closer to Power Stone than Mortal Kombat.

Our Take
I'm curious if Warner Bros. was looking to create a DC fighting game, and Injustice: Gods Among Us was the title that won out over this one.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
