Game Informer also recently did a rapid-fire interview between two key members of the development team, director Takayuki Nakayama and Shuhei Matsumoto, asking them a variety of questions in quick succession. This includes the showcase of a new simplified control scheme in the game, along with the announcement of Capcom and Udon Entertainment making a set of Street Fighter 6 comics that tie into the plot of the game. With Capcom marketing the game as a fresh experience, Game Informer has been revealing a number of new aspects for fans to be on the lookout for. With the sixth mainline entry coming out next year, fans have been eager to see what is in store for the series, and the game is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated releases for 2023. When it comes to best fighting games, Capcom's crown jewel Street Fighter is at the top of that list for many people. "I won't go into detail, but I think if you read that list carefully, you'll see a hint toward something that must be in our near future.The developers of the upcoming fighting game, Street Fighter 6, state they would love to do a crossover between the fighting game franchise and the superheroes of Marvel and DC Comics. "There's one big hint about something that actually doesn't involve me or Dan, that came from editorial as a suggestion," he tells DC readers via Newsarama. And study it real close, because something in it will pay off in the coming weeks or months…" at least according to Waid. Readers can check out the entire Barry Allen Multiverse field guide in Dark Crisis: Big Bang, or below. Called Earth-789, it's a hybrid of Superman '78 and Batman '89.ĭC did crossover Batman '66 with Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman '77, but we can't find a melding of the Christopher Reeve Superman and Michael Keaton Batman on record so unless we're mistaken, this is news. The Milestone Dakotaverse is Earth-93 and the DC-Marvel crossover Amalgam universe gets designated Earth-1996 for the nutty year it was published but without actually mentioning Marvel, of course.įinally, in what almost slipped our attention, DC seems to have established an Earth that merges the Superman movies of the '70s and '80s (along with 1984's Supergirl) with the Batman films of the late '80s and '90s. The world of Batman '66 (Earth-66, of course, the Adam West Batman) officially joins the DC Multiverse with what should be the Emmy Award-winning copy "Batman and Robin face exceptionally benign supervillains," and what appears to be to the best of our interpretation the pre-Crisis Earth-One is back as Earth-1956. A "grim young Batman with a unique, unrecognizable rogues' gallery' from "Batman: The Gargoyle of Gotham" doesn't ring a bell, but we couldn't help but think of the possible mid-2023 event 'Knight Terrors' since a Google search turns up nothing but a reference to an obscure in-continuity Batman story from 1992.Īnd we also can't tell you why the smart primate world (ala the ape Justice League) of Earth-53 has been redesignated to Earth-52 and no replacement Earth-53 was named. We frankly don't know what the world of Earth-46 is. Modern YA graphic novels from the worlds of Green Lantern: Legacy (Earth-98) and Teen Titans: Raven (Earth-100) join the fun, as does the world of the animated TV series and graphic novels DC Super Hero Girls (Earth-96). In his interview, Waid told Newsarama he can't wait to someday tell the story of Batman Gray and Batman Blue, seen in the pages of Dark Crisis: Big Bang, implying the story will be told in the pages of his own Batman/Superman: World's Finest ongoing series, a title he tells us he intends to stay on "till I die." That story inspired the 1998 storyline and now seems to be inspiring another new modern take.
