Brash eats kryptonite, Factor 5's unannounced Superman title in limbo photo

Brash Entertainment, a publisher specializing in movie-to-game licenses, is experiencing quite the financial problem. According to a Variety report, Brash has tossed 20 staff members and could be cashing in on licenses to make up for its financial woes. Among the estimated dead is Factor 5’s unannounced Superman title.

In a statement Brash would only commit to having two titles in the works since the layoffs, Six Flags: Fun Park and Saw. That leaves a ton of games (reportedly around forty) flapping in the financial breeze. Interestingly, the source for the report revealed that Factor 5 was working on a Superman title. Last year, Factor 5 announced that they were collaborating on a project with Brash that would not be finished until 2010 and wouldn’t be uncovered until later this year.

Something tells us this isn’t quite the reveal that Factor 5 was looking for. There is hope on the horizon for Superman and the mess of other titles reportedly being sold. Ghostbusters just taught us that strong properties could hop around publishers and still get a happy ending. Let’s hope Superman makes a return.

Good, next-gen Rogue Squadron or nothing at all please! Seriously though, tough luck for the Brash folk but... Rogue Squadron!

Screw Superman the Flash and Green Lantern need their turn in the video game spotlight. Just imagine how badass a Flash game would be. I can see it now, it will be a sandbox game, the first one where you can run across water and you can do a super move that speeds you around the world just to punch a guy that was initially standing 2 feet in front of you.

Also I can't wait to see the Saw game, hopefully it doesn't get the axe like Heroes did.
