Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
Silhouettes like that for the last two games have never been deliberately misleading, like Black Manta would definitely be Black Manta, at worst they've just not been very distinguishable.

We got Alien instead of the sword arm guy in MKX even though the silhouette showed the latter.

Keep in mind that those obvious shadows in the image are deliberately planted there, probably to mislead people, much like NRS has done in the past with their fake character select shadows and stuff

idk I mean the entire roster has been leaked forever, the security around keeping secrets in that company has been pretty lame lately.

That Azreal one looks waaay too big and bulky to be him. I don't think theyd keep his cape in a silhouette. Plus what does he add that Robin doesn't already cover?

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Would legit love something this dumb and out of nothing, though even better if it was Boreale or Diomedes or one of the others with real thick speech issues.

STEADY YOURSELF BRUTHAS, YOU HAVE CAPTAIN DIOMEDES.


He's a Chaplain now. Time has also been much less kind to him than Gabriel. Diomedes has a straight up skull-head now.

Which would work perfectly.

Reminder that Raiden was in an Unreal.

Part of me hopes against hope that the seemingly hooded lady is Spoiler and they just took off the cape for the silhouette. That will be what I cling to.

Red Hood and Black Manta are both kind of offensive "why the everloving gently caress are these not just Premium Skins for existing characters." Hell, why would Raiden not just be a skin for Adam?! COME ON.

Yeah I was going to question this; looks like his skin is black and the eyes look like MK9 Noob Saibot, so this could be Bi Han.

I guess the silver lining is that people are much more likely to bandwagon onto these three goobers so I can hopefully feel like less of a tool for trying to main Darkseid.

I'm really into that pack tbh. Starfire rules, I love Sub Zero because I'm actually 2 versions of my 10 year old self in a trenchcoat, and Red Hood could be fun.

Now when's Animal Man

Red Hood's the only one I don't like, because we already have a Gun Man and an angsty Robin. Starfire could be a fun zoner and Sub-Zero owns.

There's also the "Jeezy Petes ANOTHER B-Money character?" factor to it.

After he got over himself, Todd is actually one of the least mopy of the Robins, definitely the most down to earth, least prone to navel gazing.

yea they are gonna need to do something big to set him apart. We have Gun Dude already, and now with this story we already have 'Robin who doesn't much care for Batman and is more hardline than Batman would like'.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Subzero owns, I wish it was bi han / noob saibot, but its too close the the blue steel subzero look for that to happen.

I imagine at least some of the silhouettes are fakeouts as is usual NRS style, Raiden and Manta are too obvious.

To be fair there's like an infinite number of ways Red Hood could play. Sinestro and Green Lantern played way differently from each other in IJ1 even though they have basically the exact same superpower. I can't imagine Red Hood will be too similar to anyone in play style.

I know there's a meme on SA about Red Hood being lame but I'd rather have a billion more Batman characters than MK guys.

I hope you're right. Hood could mix martial arts and guns while Deadshot could be more explicitly about blowing the crap out of people. I'm still not happy about it, but I definitely agree with you on the second point.
