So I'm just gonna throw this rumor I've heard out there and take it with a grain of salt, but...

Apparently, some of the DLC is actually that "do a character as a skin for somebody else" stuff they've talked about doing, y'know, like how Human Sektor and Cyrax have different voices and animations from Cyborg Sektor and Cyrax, or how GA's Arrow skin has Stephen Amell's voice.

Zod is apparently a Superman skin, Batgirl is Nightwing, and Scorpion is Batman. There'll also be a Captain Cold skin for Killer Frost.

The actual new characters are supposed to be Lobo, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, and Atrocitus with the possibility of more characters and skins (i.e. Power Girl) if the first batch sells well.

No idea how the fuck that's supposed to work since the only thing Scorp and Batman have in common is the grappling hook...what, is he gonna throw balls of fire instead of batarangs? What would he hit you with instead of the Batmobile? I dunno, like I said, it's a rumor I heard, I'm not sure I believe it...but the rumor did include talk of gameplay:

Apparently J'onn plays like Superman's punches and kicks with Ares' specials, his character trait is he temporarily becomes intangible and projectiles pass through him like Jade, and his Super is he grabs you by the head and attacks you in your mind similar to the Scarecrow stage transition. Atrocitus is a Grundy-esque grappler with no projectiles and his character trait is an aura that deals damage to opponents who stand too close.

Hmmm, I wonder if that means that they'll be using the Stef version of Batgirl... didn't she have a staff that broke into batons too? I don't recall Barbara having anything like that.

Captain Cold without guns and girly poses. Neat...

To be fair, he no longer uses a gun in the comics. The Flash Rogues all underwent some science experiment thing to make their powers biological.

I'm thinking RazorsEdge701 is right because I just read something from another site claiming Lobo, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary and Atrocitus are the DLC characters and they are paired with three skins each:

Lobo:
Zod Skin for Superman
Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) Skin for Nightwing
Scorpion Skin for Batman.

Martian Manhunter:
Captain Cold Skin for Killer Frost
Power Girl Skin for Wonder Woman
Deadshot Skin for Deathstroke.

Black Canary:
Swamp Thing Skin for Grundy
Zatanna Skin for Raven
Talia al Ghul Skin for Catwoman

Atrocitus:
Killer Croc Skin for Bane
Kyle Rayner Skin for Green Lantern
Black Manta Skin for Aquaman

MKshizz Wrote:
The voice actor who plays Zod also plays Martian Manhunter.

The voice actor who plays Scorpion also plays Captain Cold.

The voice actress who plays Batgirl also plays Black Canary.

To me, the list sounds like place holder characters. Same voice actors, different characters. That way they could possibly cover up the real list which is: Lobo, Martian Manhunter, Captain Cold, and Black Canary.

That list seem WAY more believable.

Except a Batgirl skin might be tricky for Batman, as he's clearly a lot bigger than her. Unless they go the Robo/Human Cyrax way, and change properties when using a certain skin.

Let's be honest, if they put in the work, that would make a whole lot of people happy. Minor work for major payoff to many fans. All they have to do is get some new voice actors, and that's that. Oh, and make sure they use the correct name when the announcer speaks. For example: have the announcer say 'Yellow Lantern' instead of 'Green Lantern', when he's in his Sinestro Corp attire ('cause that one is bugging me right now ). So in that way, we won't have any 'Killer Frost wins'-Captain Cold or 'Aquaman wins'-Black Manta skins running around.

They've already got different trait logo's depending on the skin, so it shouldn't be too hard.

And sure, you have to have some suspension of disbelief, as the powers don't really match, but still.

...damn, was hoping to see swamp thing be his own character. I'll remain optimistic until this is confirmed or denied. If its true, I won't complain much. I do like Grundy's gameplay best of all the large characters. Better this than nothing I suppose.

Oh and Atrocitus will be awesome(if true)

Powergirl as a skin for Wonder Woman makes no sense. Aside from the Superman-like specials, they share nothing in common. Why would she be using the lasso, bracelets or even sword & shield for that matter. The only character that would have made sense is Donna Troy.

Other than that, I hope that there is truth to this.
