I'm not sure why people are putting heroes that are already confirmed into the slots of these clues. Like saying Superman is the Prototypical Superhero they spoke of in the article. Isn't that list of clues for the remaining DC roster?

I doubt it. Who'd fill the "speedster" slot then? Impulse? Jesse Quick? Kind of redundant with The Flash already there.

Lex has a suit of armor that allows him to fight Superman.

You are ALL wrong. This is who Boon means:

Prototypical Superhero - Booster Gold (he's as prototypical as they come)
Speedster - Speedy (c'mon, the name!)
Mystical Superhero - Red Tornado (The elemental of Wind)
Amazon Queen - Big Barda (hell yeah!)
Sexy Villainness - Giganta (ooga-ooga!)
Archvillain - Stan Lee (well, from DC's perspective)
Epic Villain - Mr. Mxyzptlk (I just want to hear the deep-voiced ring announcer TRY to say his name)
Crazy Villain – Lobo (perhaps too crazy to be crazy)
Masked Vigilante - Robin (admit it, you want to beat him up)
Military Superhero - Steel (as portrayed by Shaq)
Ninja Villain – Lady Shiva (oh yeah, that's so obvious)

I'm not even sure where the Speedster clue came from. Here's a clipping of the original article:



I don't see Speedster anywhere in there. Plus they they acknowledge the other two confirmed DC heroes in the second-to-last sentence of the first paragraph. So when they say that they only know "the rest" of the DC roster, it should be excluding Superman, Batman, and Flash.

As far as GL is concerned, I'm pretty sure that, despite Hal being the base, at least one more will be a costume (Hopefully Alan Scott).

Prototypical Super Hero = Supes

Speedster = Flash

Mystical Super Hero = Captain Marvel is the only one I can think of (hopefully with a Black Adam costume). Can't be Zatanna, she's a heroine. could be Zaterra, but I doubt it. Martian Manhunter isn't magical, his powers are natural. Can't be any Green Lantern other than Alan Scott since their powers are scientific, not magical.

Amazon Queen = Diana "Wonder Woman" Prince.

Sexy Villainness = Selina "Catwoman" Kyle, I hope not though, to much Batman representation already if that really is Joker down there.

Archvillain = Luthor, damn.

Epic Villain = Darkseid, has to be.

Crazy Villain = Joker, probably.

Masked Vigilante = Bats

Military Superhero = Hal Jordan

Ninja Villain = Most likely Slade "Deathstroke" Wilson

However, if Dr Turn of the Century is right, my guess for the others would be:
Prototypical Super Hero = Anthro the First Boy?

Masked Vigilante = Green Arrow?

Where did you guys get the other categories? They're not on the site. There's no mention of a ninja or epic villian at all!

To be fair, the only people who actually want Poison Ivy are the uninformed, and fan-fic writers with potpourri backgrounds on their livejournal accounts.

Zatanna might be the "mystic."
I guess what's potentially working against some of the villains, especially lower down the list (like Black Adam), is recognition and importance to the story. The two probably bleed together, because, obviously a Black Adam has an interest in THE SURVIVAL OF HIS UNIVERSE!!!

Yeah...

BOster Gold and Green Arrow would be awesome characters. Too bad they aren't gonna be in :(

The other categories are in the comments below the article, posted by Michael McWhertor, the senior editor at Kotaku. He also says that they may refer to ones already in, which is why Superman is said for Prototypical hero. I hope the clues are true, because that means I get Deathstroke in game.

Seriously. I can't imagine anyone saying "prototypical superhero" and not thinking Superman.

If we're talking characters yet to come, the most obvious choice is surely the Swiss army trump, Martian Manhunter.

Well the hint says "Sexy Villainess." Since they're aiming for iconic value, I'm not sure what others could qualify off the top of my head. If I had the choice, I'd pick Circe...but she isn't that well known.

As for the other guys you mentioned....Black Adam would be awesome. I wouldn't mind Brainiac and my only concern about Sinestro is that his gameplay might be redundant with a Green Lantern in the game. As for Grodd...I could do without big evil genius gorillas in the game.



Agree. If it's not Superman...then who the hell could it be?

So it is.

I doubt the hints. We'll see what comes.

Does anyone else feel weird that we got an explosion of info today?

Weird, huh.

July 3, and then E3, anddddd Then Comic Con...The entire game will be revealed by August.

Whats on July 3rd?

Release of the new PSM3 magazine!

Which allegedly will unveil move characters.

But I bet you all that it will be Sonya and Flash.

They will just be later than usual!

He isn't a martial artists.

Neither is Superman. Or the Flash.

Onaga, Goro, Motaro, Kintaro, and Moloch aren't Martial Artists either, man.

Actually (initiate obscure comic knowledge) Superman DID master some kind of Kryptonian Martial Art way back when.

Also, I just thought of something. What if by Sexy Villainess they mean Black Canary? After all, the original Black Canary's first appearance was as a Villainess. It'd be a pretty cool way to give a hint while keeping us off balance.

They can work something out. Superman can punch well enough so just add some kicks and they'll try to work with it.

Flash...idk what he does. He runs..so maybe he'll run away?

Flash has a variety of special movies.

All Lex has are krypton rays that he shoots that only effect Superman.


And besides...

How would this fit in the game?

Hey, he stole the Lin Kuei's plans for Cybernetics!

If they made it more awesome then I wouldn't have a problem with it. less purply color and less puke green and they got something to work with.

I'm sorry, Lex is just a business man!

There is no way he could have the capacity to fight martial arts experts like Scorpion, or Sonya Blade.

The suit was designed to only destroy Superman with krptonite.
