Silver Age Batman Game Plans?

Variety has word on what's going on at DC Entertainment, saying Rocksteady's follow up to Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City will be a look back at the Silver Age of the 1950s: "New, highly stylized title is being developed as a prequel that revolves around Batman's first meeting with the Joker. It's based on the Silver Age of DC's comicbooks from the 1950s when the Caped Crusader teamed with other heroes like Superman and founded the Justice League of America." Thanks VG247.

I love this. I'd like to see A) more quality superhero games B) silver age stuff. I was always big into silver age Flash and Sub-Mariner as a kid.

Rocksteady has done phenominal so far with Batman games. I'd love to see them tackle a Superman game, maybe they could actually do him some justice since no one else has seemed to *cough cough Superman 64*

What I loved about City too was the ability to play as Nightwing, Robin and Catwoman and they actually all felt somewhat different. They could very easily I think do a proper Justice League style game if they were given the right to do so.

I am curious though if Rocksteady will survive if they leave their element. Yes they make great Batman games, but they are super Batman fanboys... what happens if they're allowed to create their own IP? Will it be as good?
