Which Inj 1 Veterans Do You Wanna See Return As DLC?

I'm pretty sure NRS would get crucified completely if they ever asked people to pay for a character that was already in Injustice 1.

It'd be nonstop comments and articles about how the character was already done and could have been included for free, but "greedy NR$" held them back and put them behind a pay wall.

So because of that, I strongly feel that all or most of the DLC will be characters that weren't in Injustice 1. I could be wrong, though. But it wouldn't be a great PR move.
The only way I could see them doing it is if they only charge 50 cents or a dollar for each one separately, or if they sold us the entire rest of the IGAU roster for 5 to 7 bucks in one package along with some old stages added in too.

None. I want to pay for a character I've never seen in the game or previous game at least before. But that's just me.

You mean like Street Fighter V?

Or Smash 4?

It's really not the most far out idea. Devs do this sort of thing all the time. The MKX comparison isn't a very apt one when you consider every single returning character was redesigned from the ground up (on top of it just being an entirely different game), but it's still something devs do all the time.

There's also no stopping some people from complaining about DLC no matter what, because they seem to have this misconception that when Ed Boon wants to expand his budget for a particular project, he goes and takes out a mortgage to finance it. Common sense could tell you that DLC is pretty much always budgeted independently of the project itself (in simple terms, if the content wasn't DLC, it wouldn't exist at all), but accepting that would involve making rational concessions about how businesses operate in the real world. Long story short, the people who are going to bitch about DLC are going to bitch about DLC, no matter what. There's no sense in catering to those people.

If Deathstroke gets added as DLC, the most devoted Deathstroke players can shell out $5 to download him (let's not pretend this is a significant investment, you spend more than that on a meal). Anyone who isn't particularly interested in playing him doesn't have to. I think that's pretty reasonable.

I think anyone classic char from Injustice 1 will be DLC, despite I would like to see Manhunter, Zatanna maybe Raven.

9 DLC wish list
Constantine, Black Manta, Starfire, Red Hood, Rorschach, Vandal Savage, Ras Al Ghul, Spawn, MK (Subzero/Raiden/Johnny/Kotal Kahn).

Lol, all wanna such boring characters, as MMH, but really intresting character with intresting mechanics, like Grundi, nobody wants.
What is ur problem, people?
Yeah man, what's wrong with you people? How dare you want to play as a really popular DC character that this guy doesn't want to play.

Jw though, who is Grundi? Is that the name he goes by when he's dressing in drag?

Street Fighter V characters aren't literally the same as they were in Ultra. Just like SF4 characters weren't the same as SFIII, etc. New engine, new meta. Injustice 2 is a direct extension onto IGAU, so it's a very different situation.

Injustice already has several returning characters that are 90% the same as they were in the previous game.

Also, SF5 released without a complete roster, and 'DLC' is their way of filling it out. Everyone knew the characters weren't complete, because the game itself wasn't even completed. So again, a completely different situation.

Not to mention -- probably not a good idea to hold Capcom up as the shining example of public image :p
