I would not pay much attention to the poll. Remember the female poll? Look at how that turned out. And Boon has stated a lot that it's unofficial, like he's protecting himself.
 
I think Black Canary and Dr. Fate could definitely be possible. I'm less sure of Atrocitus. The closer things get, the more I think Red Hood will be done. Especially if it's Fate and not Zatanna, that means Hood won the poll and he could be our last villain. Which I'm ok with, I just wish it went to someone who was particularly related to Aquaman, Flash, or even Wonder Woman.
Yeah, I agree. I really hope it's fate and not zatanna, boon may be trying to please the people who didn't place well in polls or something. Hopefully man. A lot of people want Fate aswell!! :D

I think many of you are working way to hard to contort this clue into it being about the character you want. The clue itself is "The Cars". There are way too many hit songs these guys have had that you can assess so many different characters he could be pointing to. We can sit here and come up with all sorts of crazy assumptions and weird crafty cryptic messages he is sending. Unfortunately I don't honestly thik he was trying to really throw such a strange cryptic clue at you all, most of you are just insanely overthinking the whole thing. So, we need to use actual logic and reasoning combined with evidence that helps to a large degree, decypher his message.

Lets 1st look at NRS' past DLC habits, thus far every set of 4 DLC characters has included one female character, MK9 had Skarlet and IGAU had Batgirl, For IGAU the 2nd character was a female.

During the beginning of the game's life after release there was apoll for which female should be put in, Batgirl was dead last and Power Girl was the winner of said poll, but after the 4 had been released and Batgirl was the one included there was new poll put in place for who we would want to see next in the game, which seeing how Zatanna was the one to get more votes than PG did, it is safe to assess that the previous poll is now null and to be discarded. Zatanna came in 2nd in the poll.

Now lets look at this clue!!! There is the clue simply only "The Cars" is referenced, which can lead really close to being a reference to the band The Cars and then an inclusion of the NBC video, but Boon has been known to us this clip before upon handing out hints and clues, therfore this video can be disregarded most likely. If the video is to be taken in consideration PG may likely be the on he speaks of, buut it is unlikely since considering his history of using the video. Yes we can assume it is a cryptic play on words with the band's name and the Star being ahuge prominent visual in the video, therfore linking the name Karen Starr is not too far off, but again the video has a rainbow and a peacock(bird) included as well which can also speculate Star Saphire and Starfire as well as Black Canary. Again its a little too cryptic.

With more reference on the Cars clue though yes Todd was caught stealling the batmobile's tires, so yes it is safe to assess that Red Hood is coming, but given the amount of Batman characters and how insanely cryptic this coclusion is , it is very unlikely the case.

Now the meat and potatos of this stupidly long post, The Cars are well known for their hit song Magic and likely this is the hint right there since it really the one song song of their's that sticks out and Zatanna was the 2nd place winner of the recent poll, as much as I would like PG to be in the game I unfortuantely must concede and say. The clue's answer is most likely Zatanna, if not her it may even be Dr. Fate, but the ladder is way to out of left field.

TeamFail If not Zatanna it will likely be Arm Fall Off Boy: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Floyd_Belkin_(Pre-Zero_Hour)

i totally see the zatanna clue, dont get me wrong, shes very much a fan favorite, and highly likely to make it in. but boon is too much of a troll for it to be that easy.

the tweet says clue #1, so its possible he hasent given us nearly enough info to guess right with out it being a lucky guess.

also if he plans more clue tweets, why make the clue so easy if it is indeed Zatanna? that really defeats the purpose.

on the manhunter stream, they said that they had the original 4 dlcs planned from the begining but didnt get started until after the game went gold. so those 4 were in place when powergirl won the official female poll and when the MMH out cry started.

seems likely to me that once they decided to do more dlc they chose MMH and powergirl and ran the "unofficial poll" to select the 3rd and last character. and since the poll was close between 2 characters down the stretch, they may have decided to make both.

my guess, not factoring boons trolling comments and his clues:

next is powergirl
then they will announce the winner of the poll and release both zatanna and red hood the same day.

The song Magic by The Cars has the lyrics: "Summer, it turns me upside down" right at the start.

Annataz Arataz, Zatanna's evil Earth-3 counterpart, assists Superman-Prime to detain and torment Mr. Mxyzptlk in Countdown to Final Crisis #23. The imp refuses to provide Prime with information, and Annataz restores his powers. Reflecting upon her own prior cruel actions, she allows herself to be killed by the enraged villain. Her spells are recited "upside-down", rather than backwards.

Sure, but what does that have to do with The Cars? Also her name is Zatanna backwards, if you didn't already know. ;)
