I really hate the MK guest characters. DC has tone of great characters that deserve to be in the game, no need to grab MK fighters when we still don't have popular DC characters.

It's even got a pretty decent cast size as-is.

Seriously, the base roster has 28 characters.
Here's where I'm at right now.
That seems about right.
For the final missing 'Black Panther'-esque silhouette I'm wondering who it could be.
Bronze Tiger?:
Wildcat? :
It's probably not Black Spider.
Hmm...
It could have 50 base characters and it'd still be a horrible practice. That's not the issue.
I think Killer Instinct has the best model. It's F2P with rotating playable characters and all modes accessible, so you can try them out over time, buy as few or as many $5 characters as you want, or a bundle with extra cosmetics.

Starfire! Yes!
Red Hood! Eh!
And yes, that's totally Black Manta and Raiden at the end.
From Zurick, tweaked the light settings to make the silhouettes more clear:
Soooooo...wait to purchase the complete game. Got it!

Kinda agreeing with this line of thought. Obviously Manta and Raiden seem to be a lock, but the other silhouettes could be placeholders like in MKX. Then again, perhaps not. But it's Boon, so I'll question anything.

I would be down for Azrael with his 90's Batman suit as an alternate costume.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
This right here. People are just nitpicking at this point.

So we got starfire and nightwing ain't even around to say whats up.
I am having trouble believing that Boon would kill the speculation train on Black Manta and Raiden this unceremoniously. The studio seems to enjoy the teases leading up to reveals.
But maybe they're trying to sell the Ultimate Edition.

Or NetherRealm's interpretation of Hellboy.
I don't think Static was ever a Titan, was he?

I know this doesn't go with the animals motif, but the silhouette to the right of Manta could also be Midnighter.
This might be a controversial opinion, but in a game with 80 zillion free costume pieces as a core game mechanic, I really don't feel the initial outfits actually matter very much as long as they have good choices in there somewhere.
I guess it does impact the campaign, which might be the primary focus for a lot of people, but I'm not sure if DLC characters show up in that.
That said, this is by no means a suggestion to stop complaining. Feel free to keep complaining. You should always feel happy to speak out when you don't like something.

With the inclusion of Raiden they've probably got my money on this one. Was my main in MKX
It's not nitpiking to be unhappy with some of the choices especially two MK characters. I have no issues with DLC characters especially since fighting game characters are expensive to make.
I think to the right of Black Manta is definitely Rorscach. Look at the waist. It is rippled like a trenchcoat and the points in the head could be the sides of his hat. As for the others. I think far left is Constantine. I think to the left of Raiden is either Spawn or Azrael and I think the woman to the right of Raiden is Enchantress. Development time was probably when Suicide Squad came out which was a big hit for WB so they are likely to add more SS characters.

I think you've missed a few posts.
Anyways, if waiting 2 or whatever years to get the complete edition counts as boycotting then I guess so. I did that for Injustice 1 and for some reason didn't for MKX and regret it. Never again.
Riot Games has supported League of Legends probably more than any other company ever has done for a game during 7 years.
It is a free to play game that started from absolute nothingness and didn't need to rely on terrible practices like Warner Bros does when they "support" their games for 2ish years and leave the game to die when they've sucked all of the money out of it and they want to promote the new one.
Plenty of studios support their games much better than Warner Bros and in a way that is never detrimental for the consumer. Take a look at Blizzard too. Look at KI or SFV even.
It's an exaggeration.
You don't think the realities of having to cap development of a product at some point in order to ship out a product should be taken into consideration when evaluating how a product is supported over time?
Call me crazy but if they managed to ship out game with 50 characters for $60 and added even more later over time, I'd be pretty impressed with that effort.
As I understand it she converts solar energy into green projectile blasts.
She's a bit like Superman.
Scorpion sold the most out of any of Injustice 1's DLC characters. It was always a given.

Kori and Black Manta are great additions to the roster. Shame they also had to do Red Hood and MK characters.
I don't see anyone in there who looks like Rorshach
Yeah, all of the male silhouettes are too tall and beefy.
In any case there a much better selections for fighters, and ones that don't keep Alan Moore up at night.

Who knows what kind of four dimensional chess Ed Boon is playing here?

So she's like a female Superman.
I was thinking this for a moment too. Would be cool for sure.

Amazed at how many people actually defend this practice. If it were any other developer or game it would be blasphemy.
And not hidden Black Manta's helmet?
Yeah. She had to flee from her homeworld too. It's a pretty novel idea.

Red hood died immediately in that fight and then Sub Zero shortly after.
I don't see what's wrong with DLC characters in a fighting game. I don't see what's wrong with showing them off before launch, since they are selling a season pass. I think we should know who everybody is since they want us to drop 40 bucks on it.
People that complain about this actively want the developers to hide information just to make it more palatable for their own arbitrary time table as to when it's okay to release new shit in a fighter.

Her powers are more projectile based, although she does have some super strength.
