@Seraphem: My favorite comment is still the "Luna has encountered a problem with Windows" one.

Not to interested with PS 4 or Xbone.Besides KH 3 I haven't seen anything that has gotten me hyped.

Wii U on the other hand,I've been enjoying.With games like Wonderful 101 and Mario 3d world,the hype train isn't going to be stopping any time soon.Especially with the new Smash game for Wii U and 3DS.Come on Nintendo,just give us the damn release dates.

While we're on the subject of video games, I've managed to clear another chapter in Kid Icarus Uprising.

I really have no interest in getting any of the next gen consoles. Batman: Arkham Knight is the only game I'm interested in that I'll be missing out on, which I can live with even if you can play as Harley.

I'm just planning to get Arkham Knight on the PC. It's how I played the others in the series.

Not sure if I'll get Arkham Knight... I've enjoyed all the others in the series, including Origins, but honestly, I'm just getting tired of Batman.

Yeah, I get that. As much as I like him, Batman is horribly overexposed. I really wish Rocksteady would make a good Superman game. Or, better yet, a good Wonder Woman game.

Don't have any plans on Arkham Knight,don't know much bout it and I still haven't finished Asylum or got Origins.

[up]I'd love to see a new good Superman game,too bad none seem to exist.

Or Green Lantern. Or the Flash. Or Aquaman. Or Plastic Man. Or the Teen Titans. Or...

Point is, DC has a lot of good properties that just don't see any exposure because of the focus on the Big Three, Batman in particular.

I kinda hope we get a Flash movie or show in the future,one that isn't too dark and/or edgy.

[up]A Plastic Man or Teen titans game would be awesome.But I have to agree.I love Batman,but we seriously need some different DC Licenses to get some more attention towards.

We're getting a Flash live-action show soon, a spinoff of Arrow. IMO, the costume still needs work.

[up]I second this. And considering WW's Greek myth background, you'd think it'd be relatively easy to make a movie based on her.

Heck, the female third of their Big Three doesn't even get jack squat. I mean, she made her silver screen debut as a minor supporting character in the Lego Movie before DC got around to giving her a movie. Heck, Marvel has already greenlit a Black Widow movie, when Black Widow is a B list hero in the Marvel Universe, and Wonder Woman is only the single most recognizable female superhero of all time.

Meanwhile, how many Batman and Superman movies have there been now?

DC COMICS: BAD AT MATH.

I've been reading some fics recently that were written back when all we had from FIM was the entirety of Season 1. With all the things that have changed and the stuff we've learned over the years, it's a pretty odd experience going back to that Era in the fandom.

As for the topic of DC, I'm not really all that interested in most DC Superheroes outside of Batman {And to a small extent Superman as well. I should really watch the first two Christopher Reeves Superman films someday} even though I like a lot of the villains from DC, though I kind of have a soft spot for the Teen Titans due to the cartoon, and the Justice League cartoon was pretty kickass.

Oh, yeah, the Arkham series... I think I got the first two games on sale and I need to play them sometime. Of course, that sometime has to be after I've replaced my bricked computer and the new parts won't even be here for a week. Then I have to build it and spend an entire day reinstalling everything.

@Mar. Same. Though I've read stuff before WWU, and it's all kinda odd.

Equestria was a very different place than what we thought it was. The god empress fannon was constant, Luna was a perpetually crying woobie, darkfics were everywhere to subvert the supposed complete idealism of the show, and character exaggeration and ooc was abound.

It was also much smaller to play with considering we had about 20 characters to work with, some bg pones that were barely being fleshed out, and just Canterlot and Ponyville for locations.

Yeah at this point DC really just has the affection people hold for the cartoon and earlier movie version of their characters, cause they are actively trying to make people hate the actual comics.

A lot of DC superheroes would be difficult to make games of that really take into account their powers in a meaningful way - The Flash moves too fast for people to be able to fully utilize it unless you enter bullet time, which would make for confusing gameplay, and you simply could never program enough objects for Green Lantern to make it feel good enough.

When I was testing Arkham Origins, there was a debug feature called 'superman mode', where Batman's gliding had its own momentum, so you could fly indefinitely, and it was incredibly fun just to dick around the city. Take any hero with an emphasis on flying, and you instantly have a fun game. Superman, Wonder Woman...

Wonder Woman is basically perfect for a game. She has power, weapons, skills, flight... there's enough flash to make her fun to watch and to play, enough different powers and weapons for variety of gameplay, and her history and setting is rife with potential no matter what you want to focus on. Her greek origings? Hundreds of years of myth and tradition to draw from. Her connection to the military and opening into the world of man? Lots of interesting villains to have conflict with and strong themes to work from. Frankly, it's daft that nobody's pitched it yet. I suppose the inherent danger is how to get creators to treat her with the respect she deserves...

I do know a little bit about DC's future video games plans, but since nothing's been announced yet(And I don't even know the state of the projects), I can't talk.
