I gotta say There is a lot of many DC chars out of the Batman/Superman universe, I hope Black Manta makes it -__- if not at least Martian Manhunter please.

[Twinimage]

If they based him off of New 52, Black Manta would make for an awesome character in that game.

Not surprised they would think of including Zod as a DLC, seeing he's the main villain in the new movie coming out. Though he's practically the same as Superman, so that's kind of dumb.

Well yeah but who knows maybe if Zod is in the game he could possibly have some new mechanics, like Shazam and Black Adam, I dont like him either but now that batgirl is confirmed as DLC in the game I think that maybe those rumors were true and the other dlcs are Scorpion and Zod.

[Kriven]

Maybe if they include Scorpion, it will at least be a more comic book version of the character? Like, instead of the actual Scorpion it would be the DC Universe version of Scorpion? I dunno.

[ZVitor]

batgirl should be a nice char, zod too, im sure they will not be clones, nightwing is not a batman clone, same to joker and arlequin or hall and sinestro......., bad thing is because at dc have a lot of better options, anyway, at least should be interesting see a scorpion without fatality and without block button.... from out of dc universe my hope was kratos  (for ps3 users at least) should be cool, to face ares and ww.

There is a great difference, Nightwing and Harley have different abilities from Joker and Batman, Nightwing has blades, the escrima sticks (which can also turn into a staff), Harley doesn't use the same toys as Joker, she has her hammer, and is an acrobat, Sinestro and Hal have the same powers but they enable them to do different things. But Batgirl has almost the same gadgets as Batman and Zod has the same powers as Superman, its not easy to differ their gameplay with their powers like they did to Sinestro and Hal.

Exactly this.

It's easy to make Hal and Sinestro very different from one another because they can use the power rings in vastly different ways.   The constructs they make are only as complicated/simple as their imaginations.   Sinestro, for example, isn't human.   So right there he can probably come up with a thousand different things that a human has never seen.  It's not hard to make individuals with lantern rings unique from each other.

Superman and Zod, however?  Not so much.  As Kryptonians they have a very specific set of powers granted to them by the yellow sun.   There are no differences, they don't change.   They're a locked set of super powers.   So how different, really, can you make them?

Super Strength:  No real way to make that different between the two.   They can both throw heavy things around... Yes!!

Super Breath:  Can blow things way... or can be used to freeze.  yes... there are SO many options there.

Heat Vision:  Do I even need to explain?

Flight:  See Heat Vision.

Super Speed: See Heat Vision.

X-ray Vision:  Yep, that's right...  Both can see right through Wondy's Breast Plate.

There is the difference, however, of them using their powers for either good or evil... I suppose that makes them different.  Right?    Oh! Wait, no... no it doesn't.   Not in this game.   Because Injustice already has an Evil Kryptonian Dictator abusing his powers and terrifying people.   


So really... explain Zod's purpose in the game?   He'll play just like Superman and he'll have the same mentality of Regime Superman... So if we already got Evil Supes... Zod is irrelevant.  Not needed or wanted by many.

[.Batzarro.]

Unless by some highly unlikely chance we get this General Zod for the game..



Then he could probably play more like a Dr. Doom character.

[Tazzer]

Then that would be acceptable.   At least then he wouldn't be an exact Clone.  However, if they're not using that version... then Zod should be nothing more than a skin for Superman as he's not different enough from him to warrant his own character.

n my opinion, I'm a fighter's game fan since 1991 (Street Fighter 2). What I like about a fighting game is the mechanics, the fluid combos and the fun. I love aditional chars cuz that makes me play more and have more techniques to play and beat the game. even I'm not fan of Zangief-type chars, I like to play them as well. When MK9 came out, Iwas like my fav all time franchise (MvC) was completely overwhelmed and love fighting style. Everyone was hating the Krueger idea and I really love to play him. And like I said, I am not a DC fan, but I loved the game and I really don't care who is gonna be in the dlc, I'm just gonna have fun

[Kriven]

I don't understand how you can say Sinestro and Hal can utilize the same powers in different ways because they're different people and then not admit that Zod and Batgirl can and will do exactly that.

[Tazzer]

Different minds, different imaginations, different constructs.  See where the rings do the same thing at their core... the results are very different depending on the Minds that are willing the rings.   They're only limited by what they can imagine.   So Sinestro can create things Hal or any other humans for that matter, have never seen because he's an alien.   So making vastly different constructs that accomplish different things is how Hal and Sinestro can be very different from one another special moves wise.

With Superman and Zod it's just not the case.   Heat Vision is Heat Vision no matter who's using it in battle.

Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sean...

[.Batzarro.]

Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sean...

Hurricane kick, uppercut, fireball, and even uppercut hyper. Mostly clones. Not sure this applies to Sean as well but I think you just helped Tazzer's argument. Unless that's what you were trying to do, then..good job.

[Tazzer]

They're all from the same fighting style, trained in the same arts.   They're meant to be extremely similar.  All still have the same moves when you get right down to it.

Dragon Punch
Haduken
hurricane kick
etc, etc...
Only slight (and I mean very slight) differences as to how those moves are executed.  In fact, of the ones you mentioned only Sean is slightly different in the way he handles a couple of his moves from the others.

Green Lantern and Sinestro don't share half as much in common.   They each have a power ring.  That is where the similarity ends.   They don't use the ring's power the same way.  They make completely different things.   Their fighting styles are different.

[Macaulyn97]

What Tazzer means is that the Power Rings can make absolutely any form, what makes it much easier to add two or even more different characters with it. But Batgirl has the same gadgets as Batman and Zod has the same powers as Superman, and there is no chance of making variated versions of these powers, a batarang is a batarang and will be thrown as a batarang, and a heat vision will always be used as the laser it is, no matter who uses it.

About the Ryu clones, well, there are much more in so many other games, but Street Fighter really holds a lot of them, and that is not good, it makes the characters repetitive.

that's exactly what i'm talking about. but they maybe have the same powers but different fighting style, you know? or quicker than... lamer than...

EDIT

and now it's official. Well, I guess that if the made a 60's Adam West series skin, that will make her awesome!

[Tazzer]

Well... I guess there we have it.   Can't really be called a rumor anymore now, can it?   Suppose this means we can pretty much count Zod as real too.   Dammit.


Ah well, bright side?  Babs there seems to be sporting some new toys.   What do you guys think?  Only part of her super move, or are they a permanent fixture?

[Toxin97]

I wish I could get a refund for the season pass

[.Batzarro.]

She..she looks horrible.

[Tazzer]

Yeah..not so good.  Definitely not what I'd expect.  That hair looks ridiculous... but to be fair we've not seen a full body pic.  Not that I'm thinking anything can save this travesty.

Really though... why Batgirl?  Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the character.  She's cool... but if they HAD to add another Batman character... there are so many more interesting choices they could have gone with.   If they wanted another female, I'd much prefer Ivy or Talia... but that's just me.

Or Arkham City Robin, or Red Hood...

[Macaulyn97]

I remember someone saying that if these DLC's sell enough there will be new ones, but with these character choices...
