I feel like there are far too many unknowns and not enough truly complete high-level representatives of characters to do this yet. Lets be honest:

How many complete and top-level Nightwings have we seen in tourney-level play?
Truly complete Batgirls?
1 really good Killer Frost?
How many truly complete Scorpions? Everyone is still week 1/2
I've seen a total of 1 Raven played at the highest level, and 0 Catwoman's

Even Batman I don't feel has fully been fleshed out at this point. There's a lot more to be explored before we can really put together a tier list.

Flash top 12 ? Are you seriously serious ? Flash is at Shazam tier.
6 frame low that leads to 65% one meter? or is it 72%?

A now above avg way to get in w mb torpedo that grants free d1 check or that can open up f2 overhead or throw

bf2 punisher on whiff specials and strings

Nutty corner game

As Scorpion I don't have any problems against Killer Frost.

I'm starting to think KF is overrated too. Her 50/50 is just BS.

I think Batman is overrated. People are right me and Reo wouldn't be playing Scorpion if he was better than Batman. Batman has too many holes for me to overshadow his pros:

- No range on normals
- No anti air
- No safe wake up attack
- Problems against zoners and problems against heavy rushdown.

Batman needs stages like Atlantis to shine and run away all the time by controlling the middle field.

Lets compare Batman to say...Black Adam

Black Adam's biggest hole is lack of reliable lows but honestly he doesn't even need them. His tick grabs with trait and his trait being unblockable in general is huge.

Black Adam has THE BEST wake up attack in the game with MB Lightning Cage that hits anywhere near him and its +4 on block that leads to 40% damage.

Black Adam has really good zoning and counter zoning and for those who start looking to try and combat his zoning here is when MB dive kick comes into play. Then you have those who feel froggy and try to Mb b3 the dive kick then you neutral jump then they whiff and you punish them in recovery or do mb lightning storm. Then you have his normals up close that have good range and are ALWAYS IN THE WORLD of safe or advantage on block. These combos all are hit confirmable and lead to 30+ damage. Black Adam also can get out of the corner easily by dive kicking out of the corner by making you respect his wake up if he happens to get knocked down. Unless it is by Wonder Woman's Lasso Grab or a reset situation that leaves him standing or crosses up his commands like Flash's sonic pound which is mad dirty. People also say Black Adam has bad anti air but d2 pretty reliable to me as an anti air lol and b2 will sometimes anti air as well. His only cons are no lows but I think d3 and lightning storm are good enough. I really don't see this character having any real problems.

As you see Black Adam is a way more complete character than Batman is.

Batman on wake up can be pressured by Jumps all day cause you can't parry jump ins and slide will whiff but he recovers so slow you have enough time to dash up and punish him. People will talk about Batman's j2 all day but against characters who are highly mobile and don't even allow him to get in like for example Black Adam then j2 won't ever come into play. If he does j2 and whiffs that is a free b23 into a full combo and no one wants to get hit by that.
Its hard to argue any of this

Great write up and for most part I agree

Yeah, that's the good part. What about the bad stuffs ? I mean, saying like that I can make Shazam look like a top 8 as well.
 
AK Pig Of The Hut, the list doesn't look too bad, but honestly making a legit like top 10 is hard like in mk9, NW, GL, DD, WW, raven, and etc. all have the skills to be top 10. I think a list should be made where chars get letters like S and A and B. Also I saw ur comment that there is only 3 legit scorpion players, make that 4 because i'm maining him :)

Yeah AK Pig Of The Hut I know what you mean -- I didn't mean it as a dig against you either; I think I'm just really eager to see some more people push these chars to their full potential and see what they can do.

I think a lot of things will change once people start fleshing out other characters' metagames/matchups and finding more dirt.

Hopefully the bane community will also throw $5 per up playing to one bane player to go represent them all and he shall body us into eternity in a pool full of black adams, scorpions, batman, superman, KFs...etc

I realise how the Deathstroke players feel now, there's nothing wrong with Killer Frost.
She gets zoned out, her air to airs are terrible, her normals are ass, her only wakeup is slide which is easily punished by jump backs. People say Lobo is good but he hasn't done anything similar to Killer Frost, normalize him

Can I get some honest thoughts from you guys?
Don't think names will be contested.. Perhaps only placement in the list.
I disagree doomsday should be with superman because all the superman and doomsday I see destroy superman a lot. Another catwoman should be higher i destroy so many high level Player that use those characters on the top tiers. But I have problem wit aquaman doomsday and superman spam
