Well when it's really good and does justice to their favorite characters they should.

I'll admit I'm in the "I came here for the game, not the story" camp.

The main reason Tourney guys hate story is "EVERY SECOND SPENT ON THE STORY IS A SECOND THEY COULD HAVE USED TO BALANCE THE GAMEPLAY! HAVING A STORY MAKES THE GAMEPLAY UNBALANCED! HAVING STORY IS BAD FOR GAMEPLAY! METAL GEAR SOLID 4! HURRRRRR."

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

TBH,I think you're making a strawman argument against a strawman argument.

Solomon Grundy is a Green Lantern villain. Hold on, we knew that already. Here's the interesting part, it's not the Green Lantern you're probably thinking of. Grundy is most associated with Alan Scott.

While Grundy indeed began as a purely Alan Scott villain, he's become a rather General DCU villain over the decades, and now he isn't particularly tied to any single hero.

So Edd Boon has been posting Comic covers to his twitter hinting to new characters. Some of them include Nightwing, deathstroke, and Aquaman.

I'm really interested to see how this game plays, especially since it works like MK, but is a "hold back to block" game. The wager system sounds either brilliant or horrible, depending on how it works.

It does not, as a matter of fact, work like MK. It works more like Blaz Blue.

I'm digging the hell out of Grundy's Chain Grabs. Loved the pile driver.

I also love character intros. Batman's was pretty cool.

Batman's gameplay reminds me a lot of Hazama. Colour me intrigued.

Man, after seeing Superman's and Flash's supers, Batman's and Grundy's seem a lot more tame. The game looks pretty good, though. I like the interactive arenas, and the unique attacks look sweet so far.

Gotta say, I like what they showed on EVO. The combat packs quite a punch already, and that was basically a techdemo. Game is also surprisingly bloody; the red stuff comes in remarkable amounts and actually looks a lot more Mortal Kombat-esque than the cartoony red flurry in MK vs. DC did. Now if they throw in proper pain skins as Ed Boon anounced - bruises, cuts and burns and all - the ESRB might even give them a hard time, especially with attacks like Solomon Grundy running a shiv across his opponent's face.

wtf.

Well, to those who don't follow the DC universe closely and rather focus on Batman, he's probably mostly well known for his cameo in Batman: The Long Halloween and, of course, as a boss enemy in the video game Batman: Arkham City. He was, however, actually introduced as an enemy of the first Green Lantern in the early 40s.

Even long before Arkham City I thought he was a Batman guy.

But WOW early 40s? No wonder then.

He was also the featured villain in an episode of The Batman. Granted, he was actually Clayface in disguise.

New Teaser Trailer.

I just knew the story would be something like this.

I just had a guy take a look at the trailer. He's big into DC comics.

He recognized the voice as Tim Daly, aka (one of) Superman's voice actor.

[up] I noticed the voice too. If it is Superman, I guess the symbol could make sense, since it sort of looks like a red eye, as if he was charging up some heat vision.

Can't watch the vid right now, but based on the conversation I thought Superboy-Prime before I thought crazy Superman.

Some people think it could be Vandal Savage, which would certainly make sense, although it doesn't explain the voice actor.
