I liked Hawkgirl mostly for the fantastic sound effects for smashin' some dudes face with a spiked mace. I also thought she had some good options for getting in and generally decent mobility. Her trait was up there with Cyborg's in terms of uselessness though.

As an aside, this is probably an old question, but do I really have to shell out 100 bucks to play as my fav space cop John Stewart?

Only if you can't wait a couple weeks.

Historically, pre-order DLC has been made available for individual purchase at some point after the game launches. Probably cost $5 or less

vv- MKX single characters are $4.99 on XBONE

Have they announced any other premium skins besides the ones in the pack and the one you get for linking the game version to console? I mean I assume some more will be DLC?

We are getting Power Girl, Reverse Flash, and John Stewart day one right?

There will certainly be more on the way. Can solve that new character lust people get without having to actually make a new moveset so I imagine they will make mad profit.

I would imagine those 3 would be day one but then again I could also see them being dlc a few weeks/a month later for those who didn't get the ultimate pack.

The only thing I could possibly see being exclusive are the two color schemes. Beyond that I see the Ultimate Edition as a glorified game + season pass.

Is Firestorm in the comics the same two dudes as in the TV show or are they just going with the TV version since it's the most well known?

It looks like it's Jason Rusch driving with Martin Stein in the co-pilot's chair, which is what it was in the comics the last time I looked. He's a college student with a complicated relationship with his dad.

Jax from "Legends of Tomorrow" is based on a relatively obscure supporting character from Firestorm's old book in the '80s. I assume they used him because they needed a character who had more of a relationship with Ronnie Raymond.

The dude who played Jax had more personality than the other guy anyway. Legends of Tomorrow was better off with him.

I don't think they ever used the Rusch guy. The first few apearances in Flash, it was Robbie, but then the actor bailed.

Mr. Freeze is in the game but no idea if he's an unlockable skin or a DLC thing.

Watchtower stream tomorrow at 3 CST. Looking likely some DLC poo poo will be talked about.

The obvious groaner would be Red Hood. Both Constantine and Plastic Man seem likely given the level of fanfare they garnered from the comic. I can't think of anyone that would be a dream pick for me that isn't already in there - Atrocitus would have been one. Edit: You really can't say no to Booster Gold, I suppose.

So long as we're using dead characters as premium skins, I'd buy a Guy Gardner skin in a heartbeat, and Artemis for Wonder Woman. Kong Kenan for Supes would be a really out there choice.

actually, the 9 confirmed characters are:

- Rudy, from Funhouse
- Casanova Frankenstein
- Constantine, the Keanu Reeves version
- Drahmin from MK:DA
- Dr. Psycho
- Doomsday from BvS
- Dren, the alien from Splice
- Amygdala
- Rainbow Raider

the more I think about it the more I'm disappointed that Rudy is not going to be in any NRS games unless The Ventriloquist is a character and one of his gear slots lets you put in Rudy over Scarface

Casanova Frankenstein would be better suited to an SNK game since his moveset would likely look like Iori Yagami's

maybe i'm just weird but with every fighting game I buy, the first thing I do after popping it in for the first time is always "straight to the lab" to try out some moves but with NRS games I usually go straight into the Story Mode. Maybe it's just for extra entertainment but it's also neat to get shifted from one character to the next and getting better with them after each fight, so it's almost like a tutorial at the cinema.

It's super weird. Most people just want to jump in to the arcade/story mode because that's the entire game to them and multiplayer is just like an extra thing to do if they have friends over/are bored.
