Injustice: DC fighting games

What's the latest version of Aquaman? I like his BATB version.

Hell, I like most of his versions. Also, Aqualad is pretty cool too.

I wouldn't either BB or BG either.

I don't really know much about Aquaman, but seeing as he's one of the JLA's founding members, his chances seem decent.

And he's only been a joke in one version. He's quite an Ensemble Dark Horse right now.

I hope he gets in, honestly.

Unfortunately, it's the version everyone knows. :P

Green Arrow will probably be in. So will Black Canary. A Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner or John Stewart would be my first choice) is a given.

For villains...I'm not sure. Captain Cold, Brainiac, maybe Sinestro.

I will be shocked as hell if they use any Green Lantern but Hal Jordan. Which is a pity, he's the blandest, poorest concept GL they have. . . but he's the Holy Silver Age Standard, and therefore he is supreme.

( at least until Geoff Johns finally either retires or somehow gets himself fired. . . )

Luckily, Ed Boon does not work for DC.

Unfortunately, DC's likely to decide which characters NRS will have the rights to use.

Eh, we'll see. After the movie flopped, maybe DC won't be so eager to force Hal into everything.

And since they're both technically part of the same company, the comics people might not have as much say as you'd think. I'm not totally sure how that works.

Yeah. Too bad for him!

If Guy Gardner got in, I'd be really interested. He's the least used of the four main G Ls.

Do we have any idea how many characters this game will have? I'm guessing the number of heroes and villains will be similar.

I think it's going to be 30-40 characters.

-roots for Cassandra Cain-

Slim chance, but I'd be pretty interested if the Question was in.

Okay then so there's probably about 15-25 per side. I'll start coming up with a hypothetical list.

Maybe I haven't read enough comics but isn't the question just a detective? Doesn't really strike me as the kind of character they'd put in a fighting game.

As opposed to a lawyer in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3?

But seriously, I think it would be indeed possible.

I really hope they put Captain Marvel in it. I've never actually read any of his comics, but I have this inexplicable fondness for the character. It made me smile to see he was in MK vs DC, even though I never played it.

You do realize he'd probably be called Shazam right?

Kostya: They've said that it will have at least as many characters as MK9 had on-disc, which was 28.

I'll be shocked if *any* characters of more recent vintage than 1990 get in the game, actually, with the exception of Harley Quinn and *maybe* Robin ( if you count using someone other than Dick Grayson as a "new" character ).

Decent amount. Did they say how many villains there would be in relation to heroes?

So no Blue Beetle?

I don't know many popular characters debuted after 1990 anyway, but Batman has a couple. Bane and Hush are actually two characters who would fit the tone of the game pretty well.

And Time Drake debuted as Robin in 1989. That puts all the Robins that most people are even aware of before your arbitrary cutoff date.

Ted Kord was a character DC got from Charleston Comics. He's much older than the '90s. In fact, Nite Owl, from Watchmen is an expy of him, since DC didn't want Alan Moore making all their shiny new old characters unusable.

I meant Jaime Reyes when I said Blue Beetle. If they were to use a version it would probably be him since he's actually appeared on TV within the last five years.

So has Ted Kord. He was in two episodes of BTBATB, if I'm not mistaken.

He did? I didn't know that. I just heard Jaime Reyes was in that show.
