Bow before the mystery of Zod

they havent really pushed her like they have characters like Cyborg, Vibe, Katana etc they just got rid of the other Batgirls
Oh I disagree, I don't think they are pushing Cyborg at all. He's a member of the Justice League sure, but does he have his own comic? In fact he is rarely the focus of the Justice League comic as well. Vibe I sort of get, they gave him his own comic sure, but you really do have to push his character, I mean who actually cared about Vibe until now?

Katana they are pushing and I don't know why. Boring as hell IMO. She's in that new Batman cartoon as well.

they are pushing Cyborg just not doing a good job of it, they even told netherrealm they were when the game was being developed and i think the next JL arc is gonna be a little more about Cyborg
Aquaman is another character they are pushing who i forgot to mention nrs already wanted Aquaman in the game so it worked out
i think Geoff Johns likes Vibe so he's writing his new comic and put him in the JL and they revamped his powers to make him stronger etc and yah Katana is all over for whatever reason

Yeah it wasn't just DC who wanted to rep Aquaman well, Boon was ecstatic about the idea of trying to make Aquaman as badass as possible, or so he says in a few interviews.

DC has been criticized on their lack of POC characters before. It's not really NRS's fault if DC doesn't have many decent POC characters who would go well in the game. Mr Terrific could work, but there is a reason his book was cancelled, plus his T-Sphere related moves are basically already in the game in a hundred different ways.

Static Shock or Black Lightning could have been a good addition, but two other lightning-based characters got in over them. At least Black Adam is... I guess we go with Egyptian? Khandaq is like the fictional version of whatever country America wants to look like an evil dictatorship at the time.

How about they give Cyborg his own comic series? He's the only member of the JLA who doesn't have one.

oh no i dont blame nrs at all for it. and please everybody dont take this as a slam or negative remark but i do find it odd however they look over there black charachters but push there same sex charachters ( batwoman alan scott). i think its more of a political thing for dc

Well, yes and no. If you are talking not just black, but ethnic characters in general, then DC actually does an equal amount of ethnic & gay characters... or at least they did before the New 52. Although in the New 52 they did make some effort with black superheroes, I mean they did give Mr Terrific and Static Shock their own books in the New 52, it's just that they were pretty terrible in terms of story and didn't sell.

Zod is the one DLC I am NOT looking forward to. Oh make no mistake Batgirl should have been replaced with someone more out there like Starfire but at least she doesn't seem like she's gonna be a clone if her claws are anything to go by so I'll give her a chance before I decide where I stand on her and while I love guest fighters and Scorpion more DC characters should have been added in before him like MMH or at the very least it should have been a guest from another comic like Spawn.

But Zod? I can't really picture him not being a clone. NRS really really really has to do something unique with him to get me to change my mind on him. They might be able to pull off another Cyber Sub-Zero/Batgirl/Black Adam and make him play differently.

Who knows, only time can tell. I'm still neutral on Batgirl, still wished we got someone else but still gonna give her a chance before I say yay or nay.

But Zod? Damn NRS. You're really gonna have to do something creative with your version of him.

that is why dc needs to find better writers. i highly doubt that there is nobody that can write a successful black hero

hell im a white guy and honestly id like to see dna from marvel tackle someone like static or maybe even someone like matt fraction.

Exactly. Personally... this will get complicated...
Catwoman should be Cheetah, thus taking Ares out. (Give Wonder Woman her most iconic nemesis).
Add Black Manta for an Aquaman Villain.
Replace Killer Frost with Captain Cold (Keep the ice theme. Give Flash a villain).
Add 4 Roster spots (28 total characters)
Hero side- Black Canary (Green Arrow character highly requested).
-MMH (need I say more)
Villain Side- Atrocitus (Green Lantern is so popular. He really deserves a third)
-Lobo (need I say more)

Then add the 4 DLC characters. That would make the game perfect for me.

but....where did all the vaginas go!!!!!
