- Bane: 2
- Harley Quinn: 2
- Catwoman: 4

Missing Characters:
- Wonder Woman
- Supergirl
- The Flash
- Brainiac
- Black Canary
- Swamp Thing
- Cyborg
- Doctor Fate
- Captain Cold (sniff sniff)
- The Joker
My personal thoughts (because why not?):
Firstly, I'm surprised that Supergirl, Black Canary, and Doctor Fate aren't being played. I figured that we would see at least one of those in Top 16 considering how popular they seem, but I guess not.
Secondly, I'm kinda disappointed about who's playing who. Obviously I really wanted to see Sonic play Captain Cold, and it kinda sucks seeing him go straight into picking up Deadshot and Black Adam (who both currently -- obviously it's still very early -- seem kinda OP or at least very strong). But I also wanted to see Pig's Doctor Fate and/or Darkseid. I mean I heard he was going to start playing Atrocitus but he seemed very excited about those other characters and I just wanted to see what he would do with them.
BUT! It's to be expected. It's very early so obviously a lot of players are going to choose either legacy characters or characters that were in the beta. I'm sure we will see stuff for characters like Captain Cold, Doctor Fate, etc, in the future when people have had more time to play and learn those characters.
Really though, I'm just tired of seeing so much Aquaman/Superman/Black Adam. I'm fine with legacy/beta characters, but I really just can't get excited for more gameplay of Top Injustice 1 characters.
