Fred Marvel
It's actually Freddy Marvel
i see where you're coming from i disagree that he wouldnt bring anything new to the table, granted there is a lot to the DCU and all kinds of different characters with interesting powers but i dont think all of it would translate well into a fighting game, i mean ANYONE IN THE DCU could be put in this game and made into a playable character but how many of them would make sense and not feel forced? id like to see some characters with different powers as well but i dont think the characters recognized as great fighters and have backstories that could tie into this story should be left out for it but thats just my own opinion (i hate that characters are selected because of gender but thats another conversation). i agree theres alot of Batman representation i think if not Red Hood NOBODY else from Batman should be playable but i will say the complaints about so many Bat characters are somewhat ignorant (no offense). as for Harley id wager she's important in the story, that + being female solidified her as playble but i dont think we needed her either. but all in all Shazam/Adam is the perfect argument against the clone talk there are no clones and there doesnt have to be. and if there was a massive character roster i wouldnt want Red hood because then he would be clone because there would be less time focused developing the individual characters. i can think of a couple better qualified but i also think theres room for Jason especially if theres 8 DLC.It's not that I don't like him. To the contrary, I do enjoy his original stories and such. His view on vigilantism is interesting, and I think he's a unique part of the Bat-Universe. I just don't see why he would deserve a spot here. And to be clear, I don't think Harley deserves to be in at all actually, so the guns thing is irrelevant. But that's personal opinion. All I'm saying is that there would be nothing new he brings. GL/Sinestro are completely different, so people trying to use that example when asking for characters that are similar to those already in-game are ridiculous. Shazam and Black Adam is a better argument. But regardless, I guess I just think there are so many others that provide much more positive benefits to the balance of the roster overall, and that showcase a greater diversity amongst sections of the DCU. It's not the "We don't need more Batman characters" and "He'd be a clone" are great choices by themselves as a reason to not include him. But together, in combination with a desire to see greater depth of the powers and characters/perspectives of the DCU, it makes a compelling argument. If we could have a massive number of characters? Sure, throw him in! Unfortunately that's not the case and it just seems like so many others are better qualified.
