I wasn't expecting her to have a huge part in the story but I was hoping she'd have as much character interaction as Harley Quinn, at least. Here's hoping the comics balance that out. Thanks Razor!

He (along with Raven) are most likely going to be Reptiles, Barakas, and Jades. Unfortunately.

Very little, I'm afraid. Cyborg's the only Titan that gets decent screentime, frankly.

Were the characters well written/represented? You don't have to name any instances, but were there any moments where you thought "*superhero* would never actually do that"?

Damn, reduced only to a background cameo. MM got some harsh treatment. They have a picture of Powergirl in the IOS version. If they ever decide to use that model of her, I'm going to shoot myself.

I have a small problem with their characterization of Nightwing that I can't talk about without spoilers, and I still think that filter on Raven's voice, while fine for her evil red-skinned alt, is completely out of place in her primary costume.

But other than that, I felt they were very faithful to their comic counterparts. Hell, they got Green Arrow more accurate than most comic writers do, lol. Whoever wrote the game has clearly read Kevin Smith's Quiver, judging by the fact that they remembered Ollie has a pet nickname for Batman, "Spooky".

'Bout the same as Catwoman, I'm afraid. Pretty sure he's only in the game because DKRises made him popular.

Look, if you want the more obscure character's relevance, then you are probably better off with the comics.


Which are both incredibly dumb and genuinely smart sometimes.

Try Scans Daily for the best parts of the comic book series. They handpicked some of them.

We knew that though. Sucks that Catwoman got Reptile'd. Glad to hear that Cyborg gets decent screen time though.

Not a damn thing, she's down there with Catwoman and Bane (and Nightwing and Raven and Ares and Harley and Grundy and Black Adam...y'know, I think this game might be a bit worse about giving the characters who don't have chapters decent things to do than MK9 was...) at the bottom of the screentime barrel.

Harley doesn't get a chapter and she has little screen time? Weak. So much for picking characters based off of their roles in the story.

Thanks.

Would've been nice to see these "obscure" characters do something.

From the first 8 chapters I've seen, I absolutely agree. So far, Shazam, Doomsday and Hawkgirl can all be added to that list as well. I'd say it's more than "a bit worse" (so far at least).

... ... ...

Maaan, I had such high expectations for Catwoman considering what a nice job they did with her "gameplay persona", you know, the "meow" while dodging projectiles, "I love your shoes" line, crawling dash etc. BUMMER!

I'm surprised some bad guys got chapters at all. Joker, Deathstroke, and Lex got chapters. At least some villains got chapters unlike in MK9. But it sucks seeing so many characters get the shaft like that.

That's good to hear. It sucks that a lot of characters didn't play a strong role, but if the characterization is intact, that's mostly what matters to me.

I don't think fighting games are at the point where story DLC is feasible. No one is doing in-depth fighting game storylines right now other than NRS. When it becomes the standard, maybe story DLC in fighting games will be a reality, but I don't see developers going that route for a while.

And honestly, I wouldn't buy it. I would just go to youtube and be done with it. And think about it: would you buy cut scenes from a movie you already owned?
