Games set in the DC Comics universe
When it comes to comic books featuring superheroes (but not only), there are two publishers that surpass all others in terms of magnitude: one of them is DC Comics. DC is known as the house that created characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, just to name a few. Even though none of DC’s blockbuster films had been released yet back in the 80s and the 90s, these superheroes were already very popular, and several software companies didn’t miss the chance to create a number of video games based on them.
