I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I don't think WB would take kindly to netherrealm asking to put a superhero from another company in their big DC game. This ain't the 90s anymore.

Not joking, I explicitly saw Black Manta in some trailer, I don't remember when. He may be a premier skin for Aquaman?

I finally took the drop and preordered the ultimate edition; I'm surprised at how hyped I am for this. Not sure whether I'll main Darkseid or Black Adam (have to see how the former plays), but I hope regardless of what I pick y'all will be patient with how much of a chump I am at this stuff.

Edit: Also who the gently caress wouldn't want Booster Gold, come on. His intro can be him getting punched into the arena by Doomsday.

Spawn keeps coming up as a rumour off the back of all the "Spawn's coming to MKX?!" rumours which in actuality turned out to be "Todd Macfarlane told NRS they could use Spawn if they want and never heard back".

Black Manta is part of the Atlantis level's stage transition. That's where you probably saw him.

That DLC lines up too easily with popular player speculation, it's a list engineered to spread based on hype without looking like an actual NRS DLC list. It's just all the stuff people want to get thrown together with some guys from Ed Boon's Twitter polls.

our every move is the new tradition
Constantine in a fighting game should have exactly two attacks: a weak punch that does no damage and flicking a half-smoked cigarette at somebody. When the fight starts, a timer with a random duration starts ticking down, and the challenge is to KO Constantine before whatever plan he set into motion takes you out.

Enchantress and Black Manta are uninteresting to an insane degree. I refuse to believe the list purely because I'm still holding out hope for more interesting characters. Give me Paracyte, Etrigan, Constantine, Plastic Man, poo poo like that. Two Face, what the gently caress would they do with Two Face. At this juncture I just want Starfire and Red Hood to never be in the game purely on spite.

I've seen so many people and "sources" and poo poo talking about Spawn in this game it has reached almost a Mandela effect in that even I think there's like a 50% chance of it happening.

This must be it. That's funny, imagine being told "yeah you can use him" and just never bothering.

That rear end in a top hat's just desperate for publicity, as usual.

If it was anyone but netherrealm I'd say it's a 0% chance, but considering how much they love confirming bullshit rumors, I guess it's more like 5%. Like I said it'd probably be a hard sell to WB to let some other rear end in a top hat who people don't care about anymore piggyback off their property's showcase game.

Didn't MacFarlane lose his poo poo over Angela getting appropriated into the general Marvel universe while Spawn got left in the dirt because of Neil Gaimen's ownership rights over the former or something? Could be garbage, I honestly am not invested enough in anything Spawn to really know better.

I think that might be the dumbest one of all since Midnighter's powers are nothing like Batman's moveset at all.

Yeah, McFarlane turned into a giant rear end in a top hat about everything creators had contributed to the Spawn Universe, despite Image being ostensibly founded to be free of the exploitation of artists and writers that was omnipresent at the big 2. So Gaiman sued his rear end for cuts of Medieval Spawn's profits and ownership of Angela, as well as reprinting rights for Miracleman. Then he sold her to Marvel as a giant gently caress you. I hear the character's been used pretty well, considering how shoved-in her and her entire mythos are.

Midnighter got marketed really heavily as "GRITTY ANTIHERO BATMAN WHOOOOOOO" during his New 52 return, mainly because he premiered in Grayson.

No idea he was in Grayson, interesting. Still, he uses like, tonfa and baseball bats, not boomerangs and drone spheres and glide kicks. Maybe if the guyr who wrote the list omitted this premium skin from the list it'd be a little more believable but this would be like putting Wolverine in the game with Batman's moves.

His gimmick is that he's kind of like Cassandra Cain in that he got every possible combat scenario EVER computered into his brain so he can near-flawlessly predict people's reactions and fight moves ahead of time so he's like a super martial artist, which is where all the Batman comparisons come from. I never really read it much but my impression is that he's basically Stormwatch's dumb muscle and they only took him because they really wanted Apollo and they were kind of a package deal.

Gavok did some really excellent write-ups of each character and their history in the Injustice thread and his blog. You should check it out and see what you think. The short answer is that he's kind of complicated and has had a lot of personality revisions over his history.

Edit: I vaguely recall his New 52 series being an absolute disaster, but I never read it.

The first 16 or so of the New 53 Green Arrow issues are awful but it gets amazing after that when Jeff Lemire takes over. When you get caught up on whatever you're reading I strongly suggest you check it out

Thank you for the info. Right now I'm reading a lot of classics I should have read forever ago, like Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns and Kingdom Come.

After that I figured I'd try to start following various Batfamily ongoings and hadn't considered picking up any other series. Is Green Arrow's current comic any good?

Completely agree, Arrow is like the most maudlin daytime soap without an iota of self awareness. It's a hard watch even for ironic enjoyment and you shouldn't use it as a metric for the comic.
