Following the game's release in 2013, it was featured on the "Clueless Gamer" segment on comedian Conan O'Brien's Conan talk show. During this segment, O'Brien was able to play as Superman with the "Flaming C" costume. "Flaming C" was a character co-created by O'Brien and DC Comics artist Bruce Timm, modeled loosely on O'Brien himself. When asked about the Flaming C skin in 2021, game director Ed Boon confirmed that a build of the game with the costume "exists somewhere", but the costume was never made publicly available.
