In fact, the developers for the Playstation version were actually going to [[PolishedPort fix the N64 version's problems]], but the license expired before they finished it, and they never got around to releasing it. (Eric Caen claims the game was 75% complete before the higher-ups pulled the plug).plug).

* [[{{ptitle8zx0nomxzqc5}} Let's Play]]: ExecutiveMeddling: In [[http://www.protonjon.com/blog/?p=48 this interview]], developer and producer Eric Caen blames Warner and DC for many of the game's more head scratching moments, like the virtual world setting (as they refused to let Superman hurt "real" people) and the reliance on power-ups to use Superman's abilities. Also, "politics" were apparently responsible for the game's delays, and the delays were responsible for the forced release of this unfinished product. A {{Playstation}} version was also in the pipeline, but the developers' license expired before it could be released.
