He's white, but I thought he was black in Superman and Justice League :/
He'll always be black to me. Just light skinned.

Lobo.
Parasite would be kind of boring moveset-wise.
But man, Bizarro would be amazing. A "clumsy" Superman with fire breathing, vacuum breath, and freeze vision. I mean, they're just reversals of Superman but the effects won't be just aesthetics.
Parasite could have mirror-moves, super strength/speed, health regen and sapping, etc. It doesn't take much imagination to see him being interesting.
Zangief and Seth in Mortal Kombat. Got it.
You know, I read that issue recently and I have been trying to figure that out myself.
Probably happened in Action Comics...

I don't know, man. Not like I can ask them. All I know is Marvel is a successful game despite not everyone being an A or B tier character. You have the main League members, you have Lex, Joker, and Catwoman. Can we branch out just a little bit from the Batman safe haven? Not like I'm asking for Tailgunner Jo and Electric Warrior.
Nah, game already had a Zangief.
Please tell me that Green Lantern and Batman will also be receiving Red Son skins
Ok, so Bane is a cross between Hakan and Gief. Or maybe he is just more like Hakan.Well, Bane's gimmick is to empower himself with venom in the game. Meaning he goes into a rage mode at the "push of a button". So he's more than just a standard grappler.
The Seth comparison though...I don't see it. Is it the glorious bald head? Haha.

Also, a guy who has projectiles and can suck foes toward him? Give the dude another Seth like special move and we good boyesess. Take your pick. Wall jump, dragon punch, or teleport. It's gonna be one of those!
Also, Shao's above post is great.
another character I would really love to have in this is Animal Man.
If it helps he's had a Swamp Thing comic on his desk on his twitter before too.Swamp Thing would be awesome.
at least 4 heroes left?
I think they'll be PG, Aquaman and Man-Thing. Dunno who the 4th'd be, John Constantine maybe?Frankenstein please =/
Man-Thing is marvel, Swamp thing is DC.
UMVC 3 sold around half a million units in its first 2 months where as MVC3 sold around 2 million in that time. I don't know the overall sales figures, but as far as "success" goes its subjective when you look at the drop the game took there. Its popular and damned fine to be sure, but considering Mortal Kombat sold supposedly around 2 million units during its release month alone and its sales covered the entire cost of the NRS acquisition by WB I don't really think MVC3 was as successful as it seems when compared to how well the fighter that was aimed at broader audiences than just tourney dudes did. MVC is Super popular on streams and in tournies and won that by a landslide, but there will ALWAYS be more casual players than serious ones and no matter how you slice it tourney dudes are the vocal and educated minority in games and their numbers are smaller than those who would be drawn in by this roster. Theres more marvel players than MK, but theres likely more MK profits than MVC3 ones.
You want profits and success then do what NRS is doing here. Hit all the high spots in roster recognition possible. I know DC is more than just Batman and Superman to some of us. Hell my favorite guy is THE RAY from 1993 and how many of you will honestly know who the hell that guy is without looking him up first?
Its a business people. These aren't even bad characters here. We all like them we just all have our underdogs we want to see in. There are folks clamoring for Martian Manhunter, Black Adam, Aquaman, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Lobo and a crapload of others out there too, but a roster made up entirely of the casually known characters that dont get a lot of press wont draw in the numbers MK did. Just accept that business comes first. Its not like the cast sucks at all. Theres lots of big names with lots to explore already.
They've already hit the high spots. Nobody is buying this game because of Bane and Harley Quinn. Not saying they'll buy it for The Ray either but variety amongst a fighting game roster is never a bad thing.You want profits and success then do what NRS is doing here.

They should add Watchmen characters for shits and giggles.
And MVC3 was the return of a fighter that for a decade people had begged to get a sequel for so your point doesn't really mean much considering we had seen a decade of TERRIBLE MK titles that should have ruined the rep of a new MK coming out. The fact still remains when a casual picks it up and says "Marvel? Cool!" And then doesn't recognise more than 6 characters from Marvel you got a problem reaching all of your potential market. Saying it sold an additional 600k after that isn't really good considering that means it LOST 3/4ths of the sales it had done less than a year ago. 600k isn't good.Why compare UMVC3 sales to MK9? Ultimate Marvel 3 came out in the same year as the vanilla version which angered a lot of people and still did an additional 600k on top of the 2 million that vanilla did. MK9 was a return to classic 2D style Mortal Kombat which drew a lot of old fans back who stopped paying attention to that franchise years ago.

holy shit Red Son Superman just made the game 10x better
I'm not dancing around anything. I think the roster is terribly boring and uninteresting and I've been clear about that since my first post. The idea the game won't sell unless the roster is 50% Batman rings completely false to me but there's no way to prove it either way outside of anecdotal evidence.
Doesn't say much for the DC license if you're correct though.
He'll always be black to me. Just light skinned.

And just what has more name recognition from DC than Batman characters? Count how many films, animated shows, direct to dvd movies, and references are made to him compared to the rest of DC. He's even a meme.
Batman and inherently his supporting cast have more name power sales pull than most of DC. Its not really even debatable that this is true. He is obviously the big sales series for DC and using that is the most obvious way to grab people. If its not for you then thats understandable, but saying what their doing wont work doesn't really make any sense.
Specifically what roster would you pick that would draw in more people?
DKR bane as in Dark Knight Rises Bane?
Yes. He was awesome. Maybe they can make him DLC/unlockable. Comic bane just looks like a stupid brute.
I am fine with Supes and Batman having a larger share but we have reached how many Bats characters? We have two Supes but have five Bat characters with probably Joker on the way. That is a large six characters most likely.
Just for Bats alone. Six. IMHO that is too large. The way you introduce characters is in games and tv shows.
I honestly think Bane, Nightwing, Bat, and either Harley/Catwoman would of been enough.
Also I kinda prefer silver age chubby Luthor... provided that he's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson
I would have bought the game for thatPlease tell me that Green Lantern and Batman will also be receiving Red Son skins

Huh? Fat Luthor was from post-CoIE, he wasn't fat in the silver age.
