I have never heard of any of them, mind you I know pretty much nothing about the DC universe and only got this game for the fighting.

Flash's rogues gallery has some dreadfully terrible names.

Except for the fact that most fans of DC Comics know who Black Manta, Captain Cold and Circe are. Ocean Master was name dropped in Injustice. Volthoom was a recent villain in the New 52, Cheshire was part of the Secret Six and will appear on Arrow, Drakon Appeared on Arrow, Genocide was the main vilain of Gail SImone's Wonder Woman run, Arkillo now shares a title with Kyle Raynor in the New 52, Atrocitus was a major character on the Green Lantern animated series and has his own title and Mirror Master was in the Injustice comic.

These characters aren't as obscure as you think.


Not just diehard comic book fans play this game. You have a mainstream audience you need to appeal to, to make sure they sell. Sure, there's diehards that know who they are, and even more diehards thata ctually like those characters, but to an average fighting game player, or gamer, they aren't that well known at all. Mass audiences really only know the characters that are in many forms of media, and are recognizable as iconic.

Beyond the Justice League, Superman to a degree, and a good amount of the Batman franchise, a lot of other characters really aren't known by the mass audiences.

I have friends who enjoy comic book movies and games, but never really delved into comic books themselves, and they wouldn't have been able to tell you who most of those characters are, or what franchise they were from. That's reality. It has nothing to do with me or you caring about who they are, it's got everything to do with if the average person is going to care enough about them to pay $5 for one of those characters.

I'd love to have Dr. Fate, but I'm not naïve enough to think he is well known or making many average fan's must have list. He's probably better off suited being included in the main roster in the next game. Leave the DLC for the obvious more popular characters that people will want to get.

By "fans of DC Comics" I mean that anyone who watched Superfriends knows Black Manta and anyone who watched Justice League Unlimited or played Lego Batman 2 knows Captain Cold.

Well Manta, Atrocitus and Circe aren't B-tier villains. The rest.. yeah, they kind of are. :(

Circe is definitely B- tier and again that's being pretty generous. People still really only know Batman villains OR think a villain comes from Batman stories because they've been used to Justice League and Batman cartoon.

People of course know Lex Luthor and maybe a few other Superman villains but not many. I don't think regular joe could name a Wonder Woman villain.

So Atrocious and someone else? One can hope.

Is Swamp Thing ever a villain? Anywhere?

Otherwise I would like Ivy since she can use same possible moveset as Swampy.

Things have become really quiet after the release of Zatanna, but to my knowledge Boon hasn't said anything yet. You're opinion's, and you chance to prove me wrong (please prove me wrong).

I actually think you're right. There was a leak a month or so ago showing an Injustice Complete/GOTY edition. I highly doubt they'd be releasing more DLC if that were the case.

I highly doubt that Zatanna is the last DLC. Seriously, the 2nd most requested character is Red Hood. Red Hood will come, it's a fact, we all know it.

It's really starting to feel like she is the last, I hope not. I know it's a longshot but I'm still crossing my fingers for static or ivy.

I was just thinking that we've gone awhile (for this game) without a DLC announcement but we also haven't had any new skins announced so they may just be taking a breather from the flurry of content we've gotten so far.

Boon said Zatanna was first and Static was s econd, but, this picture would make Static shock in 3rd and Zatanna in 2nd or 1st.

I think Zatanna is the last DLC, 6 just seems like a nice round number and releasing the Complete Edition before Christmas would probably be a good move sales wise.

I want more DLC, but at the same time I'm happy with Injustice the way it stands now, I would just like the IOS skins since I don't own a SPIphone (remember when you could actually call someone with your Telephone, Pepperidge Farm's remembers).

I just want to see Netherrealm focus on MK2014. They are probably going to switch to another engine, likely Unreal Engine 4. That alone is going to suck up development time, presuming they didn't start adapting to the new engine while making Injustice.

I'm actually not happy because I'm irrationally angry about Zatanna being on the villain side. Like I'm real upset for no reason.

I think there will be 2 more dlc characters at least. Surely they cant leave the select screen looking incomplete like that.grin

Red Hood is highly likely....

I just wish they would tell us either way. I am saving my last MS points for Injustice DLC but otherwise I am keen to just spend them all now because I don't plan on getting any more points before I move to PS4.
