Kurtofan posted:I hear Power Girl is going to be one of the premium skin for supergirl? What's the difference between the two characters Power Girl is one of those DC characters who's been systematically hosed with by generations of comic-book writers, to the point where a concise summary of her history is virtually impossible unless you deliberately ignore a lot of things. Part of it is because she's a legacy character from the period of time where there were a few different concurrently-running alternate universes, which they went to great pains to undo and consolidate, and then proceeded to bring back in a big way in the 2000s because of creator nostalgia. Power-wise, at the moment, she's basically Supergirl, but Power Girl's older, arguably smarter (she ran a scientific research firm in her civilian identity, or she did before the "New 52" thing), much less patient, and has a hair-trigger temper. She also has one of the most notoriously fanservice-y costumes in modern superhero comics.

McSpanky posted:How far does this go, like are we getting CW Firestorm and Captain Cold? I didn't know I needed Victor Garber and Wentworth Miller in a fighting game until now BUT I DO As far as it went it was for Flash/Supergirl/Green Arrow. The rest of the list for completions sake however naturally take with huge grain of salt. Premium skin / Original Character reverse flash / flash power girl / supergirl john stewart / lantern black siren / canary batwoman / batman nightwing(damian wayne) / robin red arrow / green arrow bizzaro / superman wildcat / cheetah mr freeze / captain cold shazam / black adam deathstorm / firestorm blackfire / starfire arkham knight / red hood Biggest maybe is Red hood and Starfire don't show up on the original leak list, however Hood has been showing up in other sources(magazines) stating he is in the game so I guess time will tell

I'm actually really interested to see what Netherrealm is going to do to Power Girl's costume. Given some of their previous sartorial disasters, I'm expecting it to either be a vast improvement or somehow even more revealing.

Power Girl has pretty much just been a grown-up version of Supergirl, like if she was Superman's age instead of way younger PigOfTheHut, Ketchup/Mustard, ForeverKing, SonicFox, Madzin, Slayer are some good ones I remember seeing, pretty popular Netherrealm guys

you can see the boob window in the lil thumbnail but other than that it does look like the N52 design, so it's probably an original design inspired by a few of her looks really the most interesting thing about the special other-character skins is that we've seen Reverse Flash show up in one of the story trailers already, so it's possible that Power Girl, other GLs, and any other currently unknown alt skins like this could be story-relevant characters despite not getting their own roster slot. which would be a cool way to add more people to the game's cast without it spiraling out of control in terms of roster bloat or the amount of work involved in making them all Sea Lily fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Mar 20, 2017 |

She debuted in Crisis on Infinite Earths, so she's not that obscure.

Is that comic supposed to be an adaption of the game's storyline or is it like the I1 comics and it's stuff that happened before the game? Either way, if he's not in the base game I expect Red Hood to be one of the bigger DLC picks. With an Arkham Knight costume, because they like to reuse Arkham series assets when they can.

The original comic was the 5 years before Injustice. This one is the time between the games.Evil Canadian posted:As far as it went it was for Flash/Supergirl/Green Arrow. Black Siren would also be from the TV show.

Somebody--it might have been a goon in BSS--edited that sequence of panels to include the phrase "Fill my hole, Superman," and every time I see those panels, I forget that was an edit for a second.

The "fill my hole" edit has gotten around online so much without context that I'm not surprised some people don't know it's an edit. That thing comes up basically anywhere people talk about the boob window.

She couldn't think of a symbol to wear on her chest, so she just used a big hole? I'm surprised NRS didn't opt for Power Girl first and make Super Girl her DLC in that case. She seems right up their ally.

Making Damian be Nightwing and Tim be Red Hood is super weird if that's their angle. I'd rather see Jason Todd just be a thing that Bruce never told Damian about

I mean they've taken pretty good leaps from game to game about how they make their lady characters, Sonya, Cassie, Jacqui etc. actually look cool in MKX and have outfits that don't make them look like strippers. Kitana, Mileena and the ninjas still have some titty to them but drat if it isn't a whole, whole lot better than they were just a game ago in MK9. Like from  to

Jimmy Hats posted:The show that got cancelled and then bailed out by a 3rd string network lol. None of which matters much in this case of having a cross promotional character. You don't have to like the show, but the show exists. So Supergirl gets the spotlight over Powergirl. I would rather see the red lantern Supergirl from the comics personally but I doubt we'd get more than a nod if we even get that. Also count me in for the group that didn't know the fill my hole line was an edit.
