Regarding Animal Man, Batwing and Swamp Thing

[shaowebb]

Everyone should read Animal Man and Swamp Thing. Best reads I've had since Irredeemable first came out.

I agree with everyone praising the Animal Man and Swamp Thing comics, they're incredible.

Obviously I want Swamp Thing and Animal Man in, but lately I've been thinking that all 3 will be in.

What I'm thinking is that Swamp Thing and Animal Man are both critically loved and popular new series, not to mention they'd offer variety in terms of gameplay, so one they stand a pretty good chance. In the story, Animal Man could be convinced to join Superman (he's all about justice) and Swamp Thing could be convinced to join against the regime if they're building prisons on forests or whatever. I don't know how they'd be integrated exactly, but I think (and hope) their chances are high.

Now Batwing is a totally new character and I find it almost impossible that DC wouldn't jump on this game to market a new character. Batwing is the only one to get his own spin off after Batman Incorporated, DC obviously has plans for him. Story wise, we can assume that the main villain will be Ares which would make this a global conflict. In the New 52 Ares is stationed where the war at, in Africa. Batwing could get his scent and holler at Batman warning him of this. His role in the story would be going to check it out, fighting villain after villain and then getting killed by Ares and setting the second-act in motion

They're inclusion would also explain Grundy's role, as he represents The Grey/The Rot, while Animal is The Red and Swamp Thing is The Green. I'm not entirely certain how that would fit in to this overall story but it does fit.

Read the Alan Moore run first, then move on to New 52.

I doubt they'd get into the Rot, Red, Green conflict in the main story, it's too complicated. It would have to be its own thing like Red Son. Hopefully they're not DLC though

You'd think that but it's not. Sales are extremely lacking so he's gonna be next on the chopping block. I guarantee it.

Solomon Grundy is part of the green. It was revealed in Rick Veitchs run of ST.

It's sorta a 50/50. Part of him is swamp and the other is death. He's more belonging to the fungi group (which I think is grey in older books) than either rot or green.
