A DLC tease at the end of the character reveal trailer on Friday would be pretty sweet.
Big Barda is another character I'd be down to see. She treads a few of the same beats as Wonder Woman, however, with the Mega-Rod and a few assists from Mister Miracle and other New Gods, she could have a fantastic moveset.
DLC wishlists eh?
1. Cassandra Cain
2. Batwoman
3. Vixen
4. Black Manta
5. Booster Gold
6. King Shark
7. Plastic Man
8. Klarion the Witch Boy
9. Hellboy
Honorable mentions: Kahina the Seer, Catman, Katana, John Constantine, Animal Man, Shade the Changing Man, Etrigan, Mera, The Shade, Circe, Egg-Fu.
Edit: More honorable mentions: Larfleeze, Red Tornado, Red Volcano, Black Beetle, Blaqualad, Black Lightning, Tanya Spears, The Question, Ya'Wara, The Brain, Mister Nobody.

I love Jeffrey Combs so much.
Also loved his version of Scarecrow from the animated series. Sounded scary as hell.
A member of The Others, Shade the Changing Man and Egg-Fu...we have aligning tastes. Shade the Changing man would be a visual spectacle. Egg-Fu would make a great MODOK counterpart.
Barda would be pretty easy to develop a fun moveset for. I'd save Scott for her super because lord knows Barda doesn't need any assists from other characters.
I'm not sure what kind of moveset Shade would have, but I'd love to see it.

Have they shown Supergirl on stream yet? I really wanna see Powergirl already.
I don't think they're going to go into much detail and stream characters that were in the beta, but hey maybe they'll show PG on the steam this Thursday? It could be a "preorder ultimate edition!" showcase.
Yeah, I'm down with Larfleeze, Saintwalker, Star Sapphire, Fatality, or an updated Sinestro. I'd like Bleez too, but she'd be redundant with Atrocitus.
I knew I wasn't going crazy lol. Oh well let's hope for a leak again haha.
Why? You can have Doomsday hit Doomsday into Doomsday in the Fortress of Solitude in Injustice 1.
Does Brainiac's "Doc Ock" look here have a precedence in the comics?

You got good taste, I'd especially love to have the bolder become DLC.
Yep. Though he's not traditionally known for it. And he's usually not limited to just four.

Do you guys think Injustice 2 will have story mode unlocks? I can't remember if MKX had any I think you had to unlock Shinnok by beating story mode right?
Shinnok in MKX. Quan Chi and Cyber Sub Zero in MK9.
Finishing IJ1 gave a Superman skin, so I expect everything to be unlocked this time around. I can see them dangle Joker or Brainiac as an unlock if they really want to force players to play through it

Probably the Mr Freeze Premier Skin.
Cyber Sub was a secret. Quan Chi and Shinnok were revealed pre-release but still needed to be unlocked.
I'm with you, though. I don't think they'll have locked characters

Really not a fan of Braniac's face. Would have much preferred a more alien look than for it to look as human as it does.

I wouldn't be surprised if one character is locked.
It'll most likely be either Brainiac or Joker.

I'd be okay with Brainiac being locked behind completion of the campaign.

I'd be sad if he wasn't.
But Batgirl already has an established moveset, and Batwoman is very different. I wouldn't be a fan of it personally.

Given Ed Boon doesn't repeat DLC, if Batgirl's not a Premier Skin, you're not going to see her again until possibly the next game. I'm okay with her being a Premier Skin in spite of having an established move set for that reason.

I heard Ed Boon got super pissed when everyone was mad that Rain Sindel and the ultra loser Baraka just had cameos so I wouldn't expect any cameos from the cut cast.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Yet, we just saw Grudy in background. At least, I think it was him.
Yeah I heard the same. However, it's DC and they should include everyone they can regardless of whether or not they're playable. In MKX, you could actually fight those characters and I think that's what pissed people off (I thought it was cool). In IJ2, they could just not make you fight the cut characters but have them in the story, I think that would be a nice way of going about it.
Eh, it's Ed. Don't take much of what he says seriously.
They did the exact same thing in many prior games. MK: Deception was crammed full of characters that weren't playable in the final game yet you fought in the adventure mode. So you were having battles with pretty much every character from Deadly Alliance, even if they weren't selectable in the new game.
Cameos are something they love to do, even if fans were "sure" that because they had a model you could fight in the game that they were "locked on disc" future DLC... which was not always the case.
I really hope his moveset makes a lot of uses out of those tentacles. I'm going to be sad if it's just for basic grabs, and cool stuff is locked behind gear lol.
Many returning characters play differently

I know the feeling I'm not really interested in any of the upcoming reveals unless one of the DLC wows me.
Marvel
could never
Yeah that would suck.

I did actually...posted this quite a few pages back....
Hoping for (but not expecting) the following:
Heroes:
Elongated Man (would be a fun moveset if they went all out with stretching)
Booster Gold (for the intros mainly)
The Atom (could be a fun moveset/shrink & grow)
Red Tornado (no wind character yet)
Rorschach (w/ premium skin for The Question is my main reason to want this)
Hellboy (w/ Pearlman please)
The Vigilante (Erron Black was cool)
Villains:
Clayface (possibility for insane moveset)
Black Manta (cool design)
Gentleman Ghost (would love to see this oddball design)
Vandal Savage
Talia Al Ghul
