Okay, i did not see Hellboy coming

 

[Ryce]

So what if the non-MK guest character silhouettes actually are red herrings?

”Constantine" silhouette -> smoking occult detective -> Hellboy (”Hellblazer")
”Azrael" silhouette -> edgy ‘90s religion-themed antihero -> Spawn

 

[NastyBook]

Is that Perlman? Did they get Perlman?

Glad to finally see Manta, though.

 

[TrojanAg]

Doesn't sound like Ron Pearlman. Still an awesome addition!

 

[Q8D3vil]

Probably similar to the male female ratio in everything else. I get what you're saying. But I'd say Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Batgirl, and Raven prob deserved to come back from the first game. I also would've loved some lesser known characters like Big Barda, Huntress, Jade, Mera, Stargirl, etc. Anyway I'm just bummed we didn't get a lady.



Fuck, I'm going to think of this every time. Blouse.

I'm all in for Mera in this game, best DC girl by far.

 

[Khezu]

Black Lightning was the first black character to headline his own DC comic. He means a lot more to DC history than you're giving him credit for.

That doesn't mean anything if he is boring and the average person would still rather have Static.

Maybe if his show does well people will care about him.

Considering the Spawn silhouette was modified to look more like Azrael, I'm thinking the final character is Rorschach. The silhouette looks a lot like him if you add a brim to the hat.

Are you sure that Rorscach one isn't really Hellboy just slimmed down and/or slightly altered? It could be. I haven't compared super closely, but I think it's a possibility. I think any of the nondescript ones could be anybody at this point.

It's definitely not an actual silhouette of Hellboy, but you're right in that it might be intended to represent him anyway.

To that end I'm hoping the Atom teases are a herring for Dr. Manhattan

Perfect tie-in for whatever nonsense DC is doing this Fall

 

[mas8705]

I guess if you are going to have "plain looking" characters like Raiden and Black Manta, you need to follow it up with a mic drop. Hellboy can certainly get that done.

Mind you though I haven't really seen Black Manta in action all too much, so it will be fun to see what kind of moveset he will have.

This would be so disappointing Atom has the potential to be really interesting. I dont think shrinking has been done before in a fighter

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Hellboy is only one who does anything for me in pack 2, I hope he plays good and isn't another zoner with his oversized pistol. (Everything I know about Hellboy is from the movies)

I'd have thought you'd be a bigger fan of

Spoiler

Hellaboy.

Cuz its impossible! Hitboxes cant do that!

 

[Schweinehund]

Cool, Raiden default gear is garbage tho.

Still hopin' for a Shazam premium skin. Most of his moves in IJ1 were similar (projectile lightning, teleport, a full screen charge).

 

[Marvel]

Make that goofy fuck raiden last pls, I don't wanna see him until this pack is done. Fuck! Lol

 

[Neoxon]

I have to guess that there's a good chance Black Lightning or Static Shock will be revealed as a Premier Skin for Raiden.
- People are not happy about Raiden to begin with and this relieves some of that sting.
- Either of them brings so much needed diversity to the lineup (though locking Cheetah, John Stewart and one of these two behind premium skins feels wrong).

That said, like I alluded to earlier, if Raiden gets some Big Trouble In Little China gear, all is forgiven for me.

It's not Static Shock, just Static.

Between the Milestone legal issues and Raiden's lack of a flying saucer, a Static premier skin doesn't seem likely. I'm praying for Black Lightning, though. It's so perfect that NRS would be stupid not to do it -- there's a Black Lightning TV show in the works, and Black Lightning and Raiden have practically identical power sets.

Milestone is in good graces with DC, hence Static in Young Justice Season 3.

 

[DMVfan123]

I guess I gotta spring for the season pass

Spoiler

don't even know why because I know I'm gonna suck at the game and have nobody to play with

 

[Galactic Specter]

Black Manta's design in this is perfect, I hope that's what he looks like in the movie

 

[Zetta]

Black Manta looks perfect and Hellboy is a welcomed character but damn I wish Raiden wasn't in this. Hopefully he is the last unlock on this pack and when he does release they give him a Static or Black Lightning skin.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Even though they're unsurprisingly going overboard with the guests I'm kinda hype for Hellboy, at least he's a freaking comic book character.

Raiden looks hilariously dumb, I laughed.

I'm wit you Sucy.

 

[.la1n]

I'm not against Raiden being in but that's an awful design.

 

[Falchion]

Hellboy is a really nice surprise, that's going to be a lot of fun.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Heaven to fuck, please don't put Watchmen characters in this game, NRS. I would have to play as them and it would feel wrong and icky.

 

[Crankshaft]

Heaven to fuck, please don't put Watchmen characters in this game, NRS. I would have to play as them and it would feel wrong and icky.

I'd play them and feel no shame. No shame at all. Bring on the Rorschach

 

[Slime]

Great, now I want a (good) Hellboy game.

The swagger didn't really ring true, though. That rocket should have blown him through the wall, then the floor, then he should have said "Oh crap," gotten back up, and punched Black Manta in the face.
