I don't know why DC is pushing Cyborg so hard.

Oh wait yes I do. They have very few interesting people of color in their books

And then they sidelined literally everyone else they already had because Geoff Johns gets rubbery for the blandest one of all.

So why isn't Static in this game anyway? He's got to be one of the most-demanded characters dating back to Injustice 1, and he made it into the first mobile game. People recognize him and like him, his powers are pretty unique among the cast (Black Adam has lightning too but it's used very differently)

Is there some kind of rights issue? Is DC holding him back for something? like what's the deal i just want Virgil to kick some rear end in a fighting game

Sort of. Static is owned by Milestone, not DC. They worked a deal years back that allowed DC to use Milestone characters but who knows how is that deal working now.

That is also why Static only showed briefly on YJ.

I've seen enough call for Booster that it's not outside the realm of possibility. Bizarro would make a fine premier skin for Supes of course.

it'd be silly not to at least do either Hank Henshaw or Bizarro. Maybe for Batman they can do Batman 666 or Owlman.

John Stewart owns and DC should have made him one of the founding members of the Justice League in new-52 imo.

If I agreed any harder I would explode. Can't stand having Cyborg pushed down our throats as a founding member.

I'd rather they have invented a new hero Black Bullshitter, a young African-American with a heart of gold working on his abusive father's farm until a magic bull shat all over him, giving him New and Existing Powers.



On an unrelated note, game looks dope, and I'm super excited to main flash because he has great premium skins, great gear, and great shaders.

my biggest issue with Cyborg as a founder is that I like him 100% better as a younger/teen hero and making him part of the 'old guard' wrecks his few actual memorable moments.

Also since it's been leaked and all, is there any sign that those annoying QTEs are back in 2?

QTEs are gone. In place are moments where you get a limited time to decide between two characters before a particular fight.

Cyborg would be cool as a JL member if they ever had him do anything interesting. Unfortunately he's just a boom tube that walks around and knows how to talk to computers.

There's a reason why the only versions of Cyborg people know are from cartoons. He gets to do stuff and have a personality in cartoons. In comics he's just boring.

In Injustice 1 and 2 he's just an rear end in a top hat, and feels nothing like any Cyborg I remember. He says booyah a few times though, I guess that's all we're allowed to have.

That would explain why he's listed twice, and it would point to Epcar voicing a DLC character as well (or maybe a premier skin)

I'm jealous, I ordered Amazon. Hoping it doesn't arrive too late in the day tomorrow.

I know Epcar voiced two of the main cast, but I can't remember who the second was. I watched a Youtube video that ID'd each of them by character.

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?
Part of the reason I was bummed when I saw Cyborg was back with the Regime was having him on the "bad dudes" means he's even less likely to be the outgoing guy I recognize him as. I want to see Cyborg be a smartass with a heart of gold, not a cold, calculating rear end in a top hat.

Cyborg also travels to places through things called "Boom Tubes". How awesome is that?

yea if he was part of the resistance he'd at least have venues to be all glib and joking about things and play the 'hey I may be a robot monster mash but at least I'm on the right side of this fight' card. With the baddies he's just...lovely Terminator...who talks about 'trolling'...

That makes Cyborg sound even lamer to be honest.
