Battle Arena Round 1 Recap

[Euphoric]

NetherRealm Studios decided to give us a little recap of the events that unfolded throughout the Battle Arena these past 4 weeks. Not only do they give a little comedic memorial service for the characters that didn't advance to the Quarter Finals, but they also give us a taste on the upcoming guests that will give their insight on the future Quarter Final Super Fights.​

​

There's a really important and iconic figure coming in to give us their thoughts, watch the video to find out!​

My thoughts exactly as far as the Stan Lee thing goes! lol

I expected

song during losers

 

[Paradoxxs]

Exclusive game content sound like a reveal to me..

 

[trufenix]

tasteful. I respect it.

 

[CallMeTetris]

Pour one out for Sinestro.

 

[CCVengeance]

Stan The Man Lee?Amazing.

 

[Reedoms]

I have no idea why they got Stan instead of someone who actually does something at DC.

 

[shaowebb]

WHY IS STAN LEE THERE FOR A DC GAME?!

O_O

My God if Boon wasn't trolling all those times he responded that he was listening to fans wanting a DC vs Marvel title someday...I shouldn't hold out hope, but boy do I ever hope this is a sign of them attempting some relationship building between the two companies and signs that it may happen sometime.

to attract some marvel fans maybe

Stan Lee has his own Youtube channel, where he has a lot of superhero stuff, including DC comic book characters.
He likes all comic books, not only Marvel =P

And it's not like they were able to get Bob Kane to talk about the in game match ups anyway.

Because they're probably too busy actually making comics.

Well. That's why he's the man! God I'm still jealous that my friend got to meet him.

I mean shit, this is right up Geoff Johns' alley. He could've come on, shown his boner about Hal and Sinestro and threw some predictions on who would win. Not Stan the Man who hasn't done anything with comics in nearly 2 decades.

 

[Killzone]

Not Stan the Man who hasn't done anything with comics in nearly 2 decades.

He has written a short story for Marvel What If? #200!
I would know, because in the same comic Sentry went full rogue and killed everyone on the Earth without breaking a sweat. The ultimate badass.

Stan Lee just doesn't have much to do these days.

You are still taking this way to seriously. Wayne Brady is a judge for christ sakes.

Edit: No, scratch that. Scott Porter is a judge. Comic chops mean nothing.

 

[BlackCyborg]

Stan Lee has been on Batman documentaries, and has openly commented on DC stuff and been included on special features several times. Not sure why people are surprised or questioning it as if it is odd. Stan doesn't work at Marvel anymore, he's just their classic "mascot" so to speak, out of respect. The comic book world respects him and appreciates what he has done. Be it fans, Marvel, and even DC. So it makes perfect sense why he would be included. I was hoping they would have him.

Looking forward to what is to come...

Stan Lee : "Ah... Superman vs Green Arrow. This reminds me of the Punisher run during the Civil War, when Sentry took on Frank Castle....."
2 hours later....
"Hulk would win"

I'm so mad they killed him off. He was a great character, and OF COURSE THEY WON'T BRING HIM BACK, BUT HULK GETS TO FUCK UP THE WHOLE MARVEL UNIVERSE EVERY SIX MONTHS THEN JUST COME BACK LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!

don't worry, it will be compressed and you'll see stan's face from a lot of angles

I know man :-7
Sentry is my all time favorite comic book character. I actually stopped reading comic books on the day he got buried.

Now I'm waiting.
