I hope Joker is dlc. Might be the first non-guest character to top the DLC charts for NRS.

That and the mountains of salt.

If Joker is in the game he should just be in versus and not appear in the story. The "proper" universe isn't here to bail out the injustiverse so unless something retarded like Batman felt bad for joker and put the 2 halfs of him that supes ripped apart in the lazarus pit he just shouldn't be around.

I mean NRS sorta already pulled this in MKX. The default looks for Liu Kang/Kung lao/Kitana do not exist in the storymode and were fakeouts as they were dead/revenants the whole time.

I liked how they did this, they had their cake and ate it too: had the evil versions for Story but also did a good job with the "what if they lived and got old?" default variants

Jax, Sub Zero and Scorpion got de-eviled in the story mode, Kung Lao got redeemed in his arcade ending, Liu Kang and Kitana however stayed evil and became the ruler of the Neverrealm.

If Sub-Zero is one of the DLC characters, I at least want his Dark Knight of Earthrealm costume from his MKvDCU ending. Basically his regular costume, but with the MK dragon logo on his chest and a bigass cape.

the rights would probably be a nightmare to manage given the companies involved but a power ranger would be a rad guest character

if they made it tommy there'd be like half a dozen different outfits to make into gear visuals

An even better example would be Goro - he's not a part of the story mode and if the prequel comic's canon he shouldn't even be playable but he's part of the roster anyway.

That was definitely the best one of those weird merged endings.

If Joker comes back, make him the host of Etrigan.

I remember holding out hope that Liu Kang was going to become the new, more despotic guardian of Earth Realm, like in his arcade ending in MK9. It would have been cool and more fitting to the story, in my opinion.

Joker as DLC would make mad dosh, so that would definitely be the smart thing for them to do.

Oh yeah and Captain Cold looks loving awesome, did not expect his moveset to look so rad. Scarecrow I still don't understand how he has these powers but his sick chainsickle is really cool and he looks good.

It took several years and millions of dollars, but we did it: we finally made Aquaman less jowly.

Scarecrow does look surprisingly slick. The turning giant super move is still lazy, in my opinion.

Edit: also dang man, we're barely halfway through the roster going by the website. I'm kind of stoked to see who's next. Hopefully not 80% Batman characters.

I literally remember nothing about Killer Frost but am assuming she just had a generic freeze ball and ice slide. Captain Cold appears to be able to freeze midcombo and create smashable ice walls so he's already looking much more interesting than a guest-appearance Sub-Zero ever will. In fact I hope none of the ninjas show up and we get Mad Max instead.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
They seemed to amp up the luchador element of Bane and reduced his size a bit, which is kinda cool. But I enjoyed him when he was just a seven foot tall guy who beat yo rear end. hmmmm

Brain buddy is already there, as was said above. Darkseid is probably right. Having the special skins as slots would be lovely, but I wouldn't put it past them.

there's like 11 slots left. taking away darkseid/joker there's 9 left which matches up with the number of 9 DLC people we're getting. I expected this but did hope they wouldn't have left those other slots there for long-reaching DLC.

If they don't use April 1st for as a Red Hood/Joker fakeout then their media guys deserve to be fired lol

I'm tempted to get the deluxe package just because I want to play Professor Zoom and lay sick burns on everyone during the clashes and fight intros. He's one of my favorite villains. Ultimately I'm probably going to main either Black Adam or my boy Atrocitus, AKA the Megatron of the DC universe.

i'd accept joker if his gear includes the "ripped-off face stapled back on" along with his mechanic attire. Or at the very least his weird-rear end haircut and empty eyes he had in the Endgame comics.

Is Joker still dead in the comics and did they ever do anything with the "there are actually 3 Jokers and one might be immortal" poo poo

Joker is, overtly, decisively dead. However, they had a very heavy handed wink wink nudge nudge moment involving an amnesiac Bruce and a man who was at the very least supposed to be extremely evocative of an amnesiac Joker. We'll see. For now he hasn't explicitly shown up in the comics since Endgame.

The immortality/multiple Jokers thing was left intentionally vague, though Batman came to his own conclusion that it was horseshit.

Totally digging Captain Cold. He's exceeding my expectations which were pretty low after seeing him briefly in an earlier trailer for the story. Even his voice is perfect for a smarmy dude with a freeze gun and his fighting style looks fun.

Somehow Bane still looks boring.
