Come on, guys. In an ideal world, we'd have every DC character to choose from at the character select screen. But with limited choices for DLC in the real world, you want ANOTHER Batman character?

You want some variety and characters that can hold their own, even against Superman? Put in Etrigan the Demon or Orion (Darkseid's son). Better yet, have Swamp Thing be DLC, since a lot of people were asking for him. And if it absolutely must be a Batman character, then for God's sake at least let it be Poison Ivy. At least she has the potential for an unusal set of special moves, animations, and character design, instead of just another "Bang! Bang! Look at me, I've got guns!" type character.

I'd rather have Swamp thing than Poison Ivy, but this isn't the thread to discuss that, This is a thread about Red Hood and people discussing why they want him in the game or for people who don't want him in the game. Also doesn't really matter about who can hold their own against Superman, considering this is a fighting game we are talking about

I'd rather had Space Ghost or Spawn than most of the characters listed that are supposed to be "glaringly obvious" as "a better DLC choice than Red Hood". And yet, I'd still really like to see Red Hood.

I would've totally preferred Spawn or Jackie Estacado over Scorpion as a guest character, but I don't think they are owned by DC or WB

Spawn is Image Comics which is owned by DC. I love Scorpion being in, but honestly, if it wasn't for the hate towards him, I think he could have made an awesome second guest character.

EDIT: As is Jackie Estacado, who didn't click on who they were in my head for some reason...
I need some sleep...

If the majority of his moves weren't recycled from MK9 I would've maybe given him a chance, but I still feel there were other characters who deserved that guest slot.

I'm too much of a die-hard MK fan to honestly complain about his moveset. So I'm definitely biased on that front. Hell, what drew me to actually picking up MMH is his non-overhead teleport being a recycled Sektor teleport (who was my main in UMK3/MKT and MK9).

Still, I think NRS would do a good job of taking what "isn't different" about Red Hood in comparison to some of the other cast, and making it different. Superman and Zod have literally the exact same powers, and yet neither one of them plays the same and no one seems to complain about how Zod is "Superman 2.0".

The poll asked whether or not Red Hood should be DLC and it gave an option of "NO! too many Bat Characters." It should be obvious that one of the biggest reasons why posters, like me, would even vote for that second poll option is because we want a different character in, considering that DLC is coming but it's going to be limited (i.e. only so many before NRS stops doing it). If we're not allowed or encouraged to talk about WHY we do not want Red Hood in and/or why another character would be a "better" choice, then I'm not sure what the damned point is of having the poll in the first place.

Yeah if they really wanted to put in a guest character instead of someone that's already been in dozens of fighting games of his own, they could have gone with a Watchmen character or V from V from Vendetta. DC does publish their comics, but they're not part of the main DCU.

They could've put the question in, and given him a rorschach alt! :D or vice versa.
