I'm going to throw it out there. I would have preferred Batman fighting game, with plenty of other DC guest stars. As much as I prefer Batman my wishlist would still only reach 10-15 character which would be about half of the roster. I would have picked Poison Ivy over Cyborg, but I wouldn't have picked Firefly over Superman.

I wonder if all DLC choices really come down to fan votes, and how will they be held. If the system somehow favors comic fans then Swamp Thing might beat Ivy, but if the polls are held in Facebook or mainstream game site then I'd say it goes the other way around with Ivy winning.

IMO it sounds kind of arrogant to say that mainstream people are cattle who don't know any better, and that they need to get obscure characters so they learn to like them. This could easily be a one part video game so doesn't all-star roster make more sense? Isn't it kind of what MvC3 did by adding MODOK but not Green Goblin, adding Hsien-Ko but not Frank West (until later with the terrible moneymilker)? Doesn't look like it changed much of anything regarding character popularity, if anything the game suffered from it. I like MODOK, but Green Goblin or Venom would still have done way more sense.

To make things clear, my expanded wishlist in no order:
-Ra's Al Ghul
-Poison Ivy
-Two-Face
-Scarecrow
-Black Canary
-Circe
-Mirror Master
-Black Manta
-Martian Manhunter
-Brainiac
-Zatanna
-Prometheus
 
While I agree to some extent with what your saying.. it still holds true about the masses.. no not everything turns out to be gold or a winner as in the case of Modok in MvC3 (still no one gives a s**t about him, lol). But it's the risk and reward thing you have to do. Just look at "the avenger's".. Honestly before Iron Man came out or any of those movies I personally was not a huge fan of any one of those specific character's... and I can tell you that most of my friends or colleagues didn't know the first thing about any of them or really have any interest, and now look at what they've become. It's like everybody is in love with the avengers and they've got merchandise out the ying yang.. The video game industry is becoming more and more mainstream.. and like Hollywood it only makes sense to 'chance' certain character's in order to peak interests and start new franchises.. all of the "Art's" Music/Movies/Media sort of intertwine.. so it wouldn't surprise me that if all of a sudden a certain hero starts to pick up popularity and next thing you know there's a movie coming out, a lunch box, t-shirt etc.,.. Granted, no Nether realm isn't going to single handedly do it but there influence would be felt.. It is a fact that MOST people do not read comics, however MOST of them do go to the movies.. Even when great comics or story's are written the majority of people don't hear about it... until it comes out in some form of mainstream media.. then you get the right company or the right actors or enough money.. and more likely then not it becomes a hit. The reality is that most of these character's already have great stories to them.. and they would make great character's either in games or movies.. it's just no one wants to drop the money on them unless they know they'll be successful...

What generally happens, or could, is that a video game introduces a lesser known character into a "popular" game.. the non comic or majority crowds are intrigued or interested in said new character and it drives sales of there current merchandise ie: books/comics/other media... some writer or director takes note of increasing sales/interest in "new" character.. then if we're lucky since the majority of the source material is probably already been written for the character over the years.. a script gets penned, a good actor/actors who haven't done $**t in a while and a director takes a chance.. and as long as they don't screw with the source material to much or "Hollywood-ize" the script...we get movies, t-shirt, video games, books, etc., etc, and a new franchise is born.. obviously this wasn't an exact example of how this happens just one scenario/explanation..

Not that I give a crap about all the merchandise that can be made from it.. I'm just tired of seeing the same recycled characters over and over.. I would love to see some that have never really been in this kind of media before. Swamp Thing, for example, while I do like him is by no means in my top tier of favorite character's but hearing all the characters that are already in the game I feel he would be such a perfect addition.. He would be completely unique in his looks, fighting style, super etc., He has a really sad and awesome backstory.. and it would stretch the DC license a little rather then bunching it up in the back of Batman's shorts..

Anyway here's my more realistic DLC wishlist not my dream roster.
V
Clayface
Poison Ivy
Scarecrow (idk because of the stage transition)
Lobo
Red Tornado
Dr. Fate
Starfire
 
Well my reasoning is that I haven't seen Poison Ivy or Ra's in a fighting game before. They might have starred many stories, but fighting games really aren't about stories. So I haven't grown bored of seeing Ivy, Scarecrow and whatnot fight each other either. I kind of accepted no Venom, Cyclops or Megaman in MvC3 because I've used them in a fighting game before, and I kind of accepted MODOK too because I've never used him though I sure would have preferred Green Goblin or Silver Surfer or someone bigger. Usually I like my fighting games to be All-Star worthy.

Bringing obscure characters often requires pairing them with more popular ones. Fewer would buy Injustice if Cyborg was the biggest star. So it's especially problematic to add obscure characters through DLC. I don't expect or even want all of the DLC characters to be from Batman, but it makes sense there would be a couple more. All the DLC can't be obscure if they have big names right next to them.

But if all the DLCs come down to fan votes I guess we'll see. Will they hold knockout polls so people get to choose from Killer Croc, Red Tornado and Circe and then in the next poll we vote for Starfire, Ivy or Black Canary? Or will it be MvC3style polls with total votes? That decides a lot on what the DLC will be.
 
I want to see

RedHood
StarFire
Beastboy
Martian ManHunter
Those are really the only ones I want to see

I agree with most here. I can see the reasoning for selling the Mainstream comic characters for DLC, but i also would see them dropping some obscure characters.
i have my fingers crossed for more than 4 dlc characters, maybe another 4 pack so 8 overall...

Personally, i am hoping hard for

Swamp Thing -Great obscure, but not too obscure character choice. Ive always been a big fan of him and he doesnt get much recognition in the game world. I know he is not the most popular, but he could have some great nature based attacks/specials and would look great. If if comes to Poison Ivy or Swamp Thing, im sure Ivy gets the nod for popularity and another female character which i would be fine with.

Lobo-Another great oddball choice, would look great in the game, very unique skill set. Also, Lobo would finally get justice being put into a fighting game since his discontinued fighter in the 90's was scrapped. You youngins' dont know!!!

Martian Manhunter Pretty much have to to finish the Justice League

My last slot is a crap shoot. Total toss up for me of

Clayface I know i know "TOO MUCH BATMAN RAAAAAHGGHKJNCDCNSSDOCAAA! But he would be a cool shape shifter character
Starfire Female character, fire based stuff, i see a lot of demand for her so thats why shes here
V Again, i see a lot of demand for V, i was u aware that V was DC rights...????? Is that true?
Black Manta H20 Man needs a villain dammit!!
Booster Gold Because why not?!
Plastic Man Ive seen Boon tweet his name before from time to time, he'd be hilarious to play as
 
Robin!

I would write short but this thing asks for atleast 18 characters so might just as well make it 180 when I get going because once it gets going its hard to stop with all sorts of thoughts coming up in order and its annoying to cut anything out as it all might come useful later explaining my opinions or personality but i try to keep it in mind and keep things short if theres nothing worthwhile to say in my posts especially from now on.
 
I'm really praying for V and I haven't "prayed" or asked for something intangible in a long time.
Having Ezio in SCV was so righteous and Freddy in MK9 but this would trump both them combined. I like Martian Manhunter but I really don't even want him just Clayface.
 
I'm not a fan of putting random character's into games like this.. When they put Freddy Krueger in MK9 I was kind of annoyed, because I felt like if he or she is not a mortal kombat character they shouldn't be adding them.. I was hoping for Tonya or someone else.. it felt really gimmicky seeing him in a MK game.. granted, he makes perfect sense on paper for an MK game and I get why they did it.. I'm just a stickler for keeping all the character's from the same universe or created for it anyway.. just how I feel.

..Knowing NR, they will probably make one of the characters some random character that has nothing to do with DC..

..... Why is it so many people don't like reading long post's?...does it bother them so much to read for 10 seconds instead of 2, it's a forum after all.. reading and writing your opinion is what you do.
