When was the last time Aquaman had a movie in theaters?

Eh, when was the last time any DC character had a movie in theaters other than Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern?

Really poor metric to gauge popularity.

There is no way Aquaman is a lesser known character. Even if it's just to make fun of him, many know who he is.

-Aquaman will star in the game
-Making lesser known characters like Ares and Aquaman look cool was a challenge.

Also Black Adam fuck yeah, Shazam? DAMN YOU DC!

Real hard to make this guy look cool.

Too bad he'd never be as awesome as Marvel's Ares:

...but to be fair I'm sure DC's had some great moments in comics right?

Ares? Really? I will be really disappointed if he is playable.

They need to stop beating around the bush and show Aquaman already.

I still can't get over putting Ares in this game, that is like the worst idea ever.

Nope. If she gets in (and I guess it's pretty likely) I really wonder how they're gonna design her.

If shes anything like Catwoman, no more boob hole.
Which is a shame, because that is like her only defining character trait.

He is annoying and bland, and with him in, that means Circe probably isn't showing up, and I really wanted her.

I agree, I pretty much wanted Circe too, and to see Ares as potentially a character is "meh". I'll be okay with it, but undoubtedly, Circe would be a more interesting choice.
 
When was the last time Aquaman wasn't featured in a DC television series?

I mean, if you don't know who Aquaman is, what are the chances you know who Harley Quinn is?
Harley does appear in Arkham games. And the most popular DC television series.

But it's pointless anyways. A lot of people know Aquaman if just for the joke.

The boob hole/window is stupid anyways =V

Well, those Batman movies are insanely popular. Watchmen, Constantine, and few other DC properties got WB movies since 2005, too.

That wasn't the point of my post. The point was using an appearance in a movie as some sort of metric for popularity, which totally discounts the Justice League show, comics, movies and other appearances any other heroes might have. Just because Aquaman hasn't had a movie doesn't make him an unknown hero.

Didn't know Constantine was even based on a comic, haha.

I hope they give this woman a breastlift before the game is released.

That would be awful, floppy granny tits Harley is hilarious, and a nice change of pace from all the perfect breasts of MK9.

The most interesting thing to note here is girls, plural. I kinda thought we'd be lucky to have one female left in the non-DLC roster.

Which means it's worth asking again which DC females are most likely. Black Canary and Power Girl? Raven and Starfire? Maybe the ice villain Flash fought in the first teaser is actually Killer Frost instead of who we're expecting?
...two versions of Batgirl? :p

It's nice to hear there's at least two females left either way, though. Roster definitely needs a little more variety.

After Power girl I think Black Canary is the most likely female character to show up. Maybe Huntress or Cheetah as well?
 
Yo... I want starfire, or Raven. Could be cool with Zatanna too.. I could be ok with Huntress... but shes kinda more like a batman character already
 
I'm not sure what character they could see and mistake form Raven, or what character you could misspell their name to get Raven.

But I also don't trust games journalism enough to not just make up random stuff and print it without checking facts.

Wasn't there a raven voice actress semi confirmation thing a while back?

A MK player mentioned that he worked at the studio that did the VO or something like that, and mentioned Cyborg, Deathstroke, and Raven. But he said those where the only TT in the game, but then Nightwing got announced and that kinda proved he was wrong.

Or maybe he wasn't proved wrong because he didn't consider Nightwing a TT (Robin is a TT, not Nightwing).

Captain Marvel and Raven are in?

It's one of those man-punching games, created by Mortal Kombat bods NetherRealm, and includes the pick of famous faces from DC Comics - Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, Lex Luthor, Bane, Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Superman, together with minor Justice Leaguers like Cyborg, Raven and Captain Marvel. Blood there is none, but punching there is much.
