Factor 5 (Turrican, Star Wars Rogue Squadron) was developing a Superman title in 2007-2008, but the economic crisis forced the project to be kill along with the published and the studio.

Details:

JLU main inspiration.
Super brawls inspired by the show.
Mechanics: aerial brawling, large urban environments, crashing through buildings, fast target engagement, knocking your foe into the next block, shockwaves from hits, impact grooves in the streets or building sides.
Before the cancellation, the main aspects of the gameplay were fully made.
All enemies were of similar power level.

Artwork:

While the gameplay may have been based on JLU, the environments were based heavily on both the Superman animated series and early 20th century artist Hugh Ferriss – featuring elevated highways, railways, and airships. pic.twitter.com/69vazGZnRC
