A part of me thinks a Batman and Robin Bane skin would be awesome for trolling.

Also, the tower ending for Bane was cool, but yeah, his story inclusion was dire. Looks like they might rectify that this time though, with him appearing in this trailer alongside the other people we know will have a stromg influence on the story.

And having Brainiac as the big bad could mean that they will focus on the intellect of the villains, which could mean good things for Bane fans this time.
Yeah I don't think NRS really handled any character poorly, some were just less significant in the story. A big Bane moment would seem out of place in a story about Superman dicking out and killing everyone so he's fine. He was good in the Injustice comics though so that's cool. I'm excited for Injustice 2 comics.

The thing about the story in the previous NRS games, is that you mostly play as the heroes and only a few of the villains/neutral characters. Any other character that wasn't playable just shows up about twice in the story and it's only to get beat up by another character.

This is why I would like for them to do what SF5 did in it's story mode. Have each character playable. Even just once would be fine with me.

I keep hearing this crying about 9 DLC. It's most likely not cut out of the game but it's a pre-purchase on a bundle of 9 DLC characters as they release them throughout the year. Reading twitter and some people can't figure that out....
Apparently that's the case. Someone who works at Gamestop said it's the game + Season Pass. Might not be true, though. But probably.

That's what happens all the time whenever a game has DLC or some type of expansion. There's always gonna be people that flock to the internet to blindly shout "They're cutting content!" It doesn't even matter if it was content that wasn't being developed until after launch. The idea that it is content that normally would simply just not be in the game at all if DLC didn't exist isn't feasible to them. It's all gotta be a scam.

Then they try to compare things to pre-DLC days claiming that games were "complete" at launch when things were really no different back in the SNES/Genesis days.

Yeah people are dumb. Jason was still being developed and wasn't ready to launch with MKX. Goro was on disk behind a paywall, that was fucked up but KP1 and KP2 were fine even if they were overpriced. I'd imagine the same thing will happen in this game with Darkseid being the Goro and Spawn, Sub-Zero, or whoever the DLC is will be alright.

Bane is known, Brainiac is the boss. Which leaves Robin and Poison Ivy.
Robin looks unfinished on the screenshot. So I doubt that they'll show him. Maybe some Deadshot gameplay and... Flash? NRS didn't say anything about him, but he's already on the site, unlike Bane or Poison Ivy.

I swear to Jesus Imma just go Super Saiyan and blow this fucking planet if Spawn is not apart of this game. 9 DLC characters. NINE DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT CHARACTERS!!! I swear if Spawn gets shafted (AGAIN!!!) I'm start Shafting Motherpluckers myself. think it's a game.

Is Swamp Thing the one that literally just can't die? Or is that a marvel character I'm thinking of?

Edit: nvm it was Man-Thing that I was thinking of
Swamp Things don't really die as long as the Green exists at all, it's only an inconvenience and they just respawn from any plant life on Earth, even something as small as a blade of grass in a rabbit's teeth (actually happened). A couple screencaps, the deaths in the second image are both Alec Holland's Swamp Thing and he just respawns on the next page:

They show a new character and a returning one with each gameplay reveal.

Also Aquaman = Ocean Master alt. skin. Aquaman basically has ripped off his moves. ;) They better include it.

That first Swamp Thing image wasn't the actual Swamp Thing;



This is the MF'kin Swamp Thing going into battle.

Never once have I stated that guests don't sell well. And I don't even use Twitter.

And fighting games based on licensed franchises have the tendency of promoting current, new or upcoming material. Why do you think that Deadshot made the cut here? Or why Zod was DLC in the first game? It sure as hell wasn't because they were highly requested characters or anything of the sort.
I appreciate you have a magic equation for whats current, new or upcoming, but the fact that you can't fit Bane's IJ2 appearance into it means its hardly provable science. You think they're leaning on Injustice Deadshot to move some 9 month old DVDs come May?

Bane's been in every Batman video game since Lego Batman 1 (in 2008 for years before DKR). He played a major role in Arkham Asylum (2009). Saying "he was only in cause of DKR" is ridiculously false.

Okay maybe saying TDKR was the "only reason" was a exaggeration on my part. But I don't doubt that it played a huge factor to his inclusion. And his role in Asylum wasn't that big. He only showed up not even halfway into the game, Batman beats him and his only appearance afterwards depends on which ending you get after beating the game. The biggest role he had in the Arkham games was in Origins.

My points about Zod and Deadshot still remain though.

was watching the trailer and saw May 19th as the release date at the end, then freaked out for a bit. But noticed it was WBgamesUK, I guess they get a later released date? Thought everyone was on the 16th, 2:17 of the video.

NRS trailers sometimes give away gameplay aspects. I wonder if team battles are back. Air recovery would make a lot more sense as a quick tag mechanic for 2 bars.
