Which DC characters do you NOT want in the game?
Before you reply with a snarky "all of them" comment, just pick the ones you feel are characters that just have no place in the game, and preferrably give a reason why as well.
But, well, this thread is supposed to be a little silly... because we're talking about silly characters and such.
For me:
Plastic Man - Man, I LOVE Plastic Man. He's basically a stand-up comedian version of Mister Fantastic.... which is why he doesn't belong in a serious fighting game.
Captain Marvel - Billy Baston is a little kid who yells "SHAZAM!" and turns into a Superman reject. While his history with Superman as a comic book rival might make for a good few fights in the game, he just doesn't have the visuals or the origin to make him fighting game material.
Aquaman - Now, Aquaman is sort of a joke character anyway. He's the guy everyone made fun of because his power is to talk to fish. Sure, in the comics he's now suitably dark and grungy and has his hook arm.... but that doesn't change the fact that his power is to talk to fish. I have a problem seeing that ability come in handy in a fighting game.
Atom - I like the Atom, I do. He and his ex-wife were the focus of one of the darkest, most pscyhologically traumatizing DC stories ever... but his superpowers don't translate well into a fighting game. He has the ability to shrink. Not exactly fighting game material.
Superman - Yes, I know he's already confirmed... he has to be. He's DC's "mascot". But that doesn't change the fact that this guy, as far as I can tell, never took a martial arts lesson in his life and that his combat strategy in the comics is "hit 'em hard.... if they get up, hit 'em hard again." The fruit-of-the-loom costume isn't my cup of tea either. Perhaps they should go with his all-black costume from the Superman Rebirth series. Or the electric blue Superman.

1) Robin- Of any variety. I ALWAYS hated this character. He's against the whole concept of Batman as a lone vigilante. That, and he's corny as hell.
2) Aquaman- What a lame character.
3) Catwoman- She wouldn't fit well in this game.
I'm not really much of a fan of Wonder Woman or The Flash either but I know they'll be in it.
I'm hoping for a fair helping of DC Villains: Luthor, Joker, Bane, Darkseid, and Two Face.

AQUAMAN not in the game? Oh come on!!! That would be FUNNY AS HELL!!!
But seriously, I don't want Robin in the game. I never enjoyed him in Batman, nor the Teen Titans. He sucked, and Batman is the only comic book hero I would accept to fight with no powers to win.
He's the only one I don't feel should be in the game.
CHEERS!

I love wonder woman, I grew up watching her show and reading her comics:) I can't wait to play as her (assuming shes in it, I cant see why she wouldn't be though, shes DC's most popular heroine)
I think most of batman's characters would suit the universe of MK better then other DC characters, Joker/Catwoman/Bane etc as their all really dark,
not really a fan of the JLA people..ie flash/geen lantern, j'onn
so I hope it doesnt focus on them, apart from WW of course

ones with really silly names...like "Plastic Man" or "Animal Man" or "Elongated Man" or "Granny Goodness" lol DC has alot of silly sounding names but those really do it for me!
and characters like...i think ive heard about "Batgirl" and "catman" and "supergirl"? we dont need an oppisite sex counterpart for every character... Wonder Woman will cover "supergirl" and Cat Woman will cover "batgirl" and "catman"

Flash - All he can do is run fast and punch. He will not fit in a fighting game where most of the characters are experts in martial arts. Nor many other DC super heroes will, such as Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Green Lantern, and even Superman. All they have is special abilities. Batman so far does suit the rest of the characters, because he is a expert in the art of nunjitsu.

Maybe I would, but there are other DC characters that fit in well into the MK universe, like Lobo, Darkseid, etc. Plus, not many batman characters have special powers, so MK would pwn Batman.
Honestly, I just don't want fucking Superman. I'd be all for this crossover if not for Superman. He's a horrible, bland, unimaginative character and always has been. A guy who wears red and blue and can do everything. Nice one. I've always hated him as a comic character and always will.
Everyone else I think I'd be able to tolerate either because they're cool enough characters, or just on the grounds of sheer silliness. I'd rather have Elongated Man in the game than Superman, I mean at least Elongated Man has some sort of entertaining absurdity about him.

Doubt will be in
Captain Marvel
Any sidekick: Robin, the new Wonder Womans etc
Ones that aren't the main Batman villians: Poison Ivy, Riddler, Penguin, Mr Freeze
But I do think The Dark Knight coming out before the release will raise the chance of Joker or Two-Face appearing.
50/50
Catwoman
- She’s connected, but she’s on her own enough to be independent.
Nightwing
- The only type of “sidekick” character I can see having a okay shot. Even though he’s been independent for a while now.

Joker will be in the game. I can say that with 100% certainty.

Superman (I know he's confirmed, but I still can't stand him)

Steel
The Flash
Sinestro
Robin
The Riddler

Bizzaro (I... I just couldn't take it... I'd have to break the TV)
Plastic Man

Justice Society (with the exception of Wildcat and Mr. Terrific)
Killer Frost (if we have her, we'll have Frost, and that's just too many ice-using characters, especially if Mr. Freeze comes in)
Granny Goodness
General Zodd (only real difference between him and Superman is his tactical abilities, which can't show through in a fighter)
Elongated Man
Dr. Light
Cyborg Superman (same as all the previous superman-esq characters)
