We've talked about it quite a bit- characters like Bizarro, Reverse-Flash, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Terry McGinnis, and Robin (possibly not a different character if it's Dick Grayson) being added as skins rather than characters. Really, I'd love it! Particularly Golden Age Flash and Lantern. But, really what do you guys think is actually the plausibility of this? For sure? Likely? Or just hoping?

I like John Stewart too much to see him as just an alternate costume.

Skins will do fine for me.

Let me re-title, I should have been clearer. I meant entirely news skins as Alts, not simply attire.

I think it'll be pretty likely. I mean if they don't do it it's kind of a waste of opportunity.

Not John Stewart though, with that white man voice. It'd be too weird.

I never bought Phil LaMarr as Aquaman. Don't get me wrong, he's a talented voice actor and I totally bought his Vamp, but Aquaman just doesn't sound right to me.

I'm not to keen on his Aquaman either. BECAUSE IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIS JOHN STEWART.

He needed to do something with his voice to make it more different.

They could use another VA for the alternate just like they did with Green Arrow...

Well Kratos is white as paper and voiced by a black guy, it doesn't really matter if the va is black or white lol.

He's supernaturally white though. If Ares looked like Aquaman there would be a bit of dissonance.

I don't think it would be fair, not only to the characters, but the fans of those characters, to have them as alternate skins rather than actual characters.

That's like if Sektor and Smoke were alternate skins for Cyrax in Deadly Alliance. I'm sure many people would've been like, WTF!?

I'm sure there are some characters who aren't popular or important enough to be in the game as actual characters, but for those like John Stewart, having them as skins would be an insult.

Yes, but is it not better to have the option? The odds of NRS giving you another form of a character which is already included or characters that are so similar to existing characters that their move-sets could be identical is minuscule.

Is it not better to have a Kyle Rayner or Jay Garrick skin than not at all?
