Batista's best role in WWE was near the end of his run when he was affectionately known as "Douchetista" around the internet wrestling community. He should be fine as Drax if he channels that character.
I wonder in a movie with all of these different people, which characters will be regulated to the 'and this is ______, he does stuff' introductions, versus a full story. I mean we're pretty much guaranteed most of Starlord's backstory (since he's the anchor of the team) but I hope they go into some detail about the other members.
Then again they could completely veer and do the whole thing from the perspective of Rocket and I'd be ok.

The Guardians don't really need much backstory (especially people like Drax who have quite a complicated backstory.)
I'd be fine with
"Drax? As in Drax the Destroyer?"
"Why do they call him the Destroyer?"
"Cause he destroys, Avi."
Basically most of the movie Guardians don't require much of an explanation for the audience; Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Drax; you see them, you get them.
As for Gamora? "Who's she?" "The most dangerous woman in the galaxy" *cue incredible asskicking of elite-mooks* And that's all you need for her.
Star-Lord needs some explanation I think (would be nice if we got Ship back, I still miss her.)
The more difficult characters (to introduce to a movie audience) like Mantis, Vance Astro, Jack Flagg and especially Phylla are not in the movie.
This is only about introductions for the viewer though. As for character arcs within the movie; I can see story arcs for Drax, Gamora and Peter.

If they're using Thanos a lot as the threat then Drax's history is pretty important, but they can still trim it for the movie.
I agree, Peter is going to be the 'main', with Drax and Gamora as support.
Side note, is Nova still in Marvel's boat for movies? Would be cool to see a reference to the Nova Corps in some degree.
Nova Corps seems totally doable. From what weve heard of the movie Guardians they sound a little more outlaw than usual. Have the Corps be the cops hunting them down.

This reminds me of the early annihilation stuff.
"So you are Drax, any relation to Drax the Destroyer?"
"No that's some other guy"

Oh, I agree with that. They could do away with the Arthur Douglas and Chronos-bit, just made him the product of Titan biotechnology or something like that.

For Guardians of the Galaxy origin stuff, I see things playing out this way:
-Star-Lord: Drop the "half-human" origin. All the cool stuff he did on the Guardians had zero to do with his half human nature. As such, he loses the revenge plot (but then again, that plot was kinda solved in his very first appearance). The change from Astronaught to Fighter Pilot is to likely get him to "Annihilation" level Star-Lord faster, where he's a great tactical master and a good leader.
-Drax: Drop the "was originally human" origin. It's overly complicated, kind implies a level of involvement on Earth that Thanos hasn't shown (if he could just go to Earth, why didn't he just grab the damn cube to begin with?), and takes away from Star-Lord being the fish out of water. IMO, they'll make him some sort of alien that was either created, or genetically altered into a assassin by factions opposed to Thanos. Possiby keep the "was killed by thanos" part of his origin if he's no longer from Earth.
-Gamora: Probably drop the time-travel aspect of her people and just have her be an orphaned child who was taken in by Thanos and turned into a super assassin. Maybe parallel it with Drax.
-Groot: His name is groot
-Rocket Raccoon: I'm scratching my head on this one. His origin is straight out of super-goofy sixties level scifi where a completely alien planet has humans and Earth animals on it. I dunno if they'll have him be a modified terran raccoon or an alien that just happens to look like a raccoon and that Star-Lord gives him the nickname for.
So people put together a huge Injustice spoiler they've kept hidden really well:
It's a Justice Lords/Crime Syndicate story. There's been a few pieces of alt-costume concept art labeled Earth V and after seeing this shot in Aquaman's reveal trailer of someone confronting Arthur on his throne(with the guards on the unseen man's side):
So not sure who else plays Avengers Alliance, but I'm doing the Spec Ops missions and it seems that PvP has been tweaked. I used to do okay with Blaster Annihilus Human Torch and Tactician Defender Strange, but I'm noticing now that balance is weird and I'm getting obliterated by even stupid items on agents. What's up with that?

It's pretty clear.
What the hell? I know nothing. How do boots blow the surprise?
Aquaman confronting another Aquaman hints at a multiversal kind of thing going on... Complete with Superman taking over the planet for the good of humanity? Justice Lords.

Injustice should have a feature where every now and then a random match would be in "Bizarro Mode" on a special stage and your characters moves are changed around
Or Ambush Bug pops up at the bottom of the screen MST3K-style and critiques the gameplay and how bizarre it is to see Harley Quinn holding her own against Black Adam while occasionally shouting out random suggestions to the player.

Well MK9 had the Slot Kombat or whatever that would randomize the fight, like no blocking or rainbow blood.
So
Not impossible!

Maybe he was just totally forgettable next to the hamminess that was Russell Jack Knife Crowe.

Have no idea about Drax, only what I seen from pictures, so yeah he at least fits him physically.
Drax, previously was either a really bland super-strong dude who hates Thanos, or a mentally impaired super-strong dude who hates Thanos.
More recently he's become a cunning, yet blunt super-strong dude who hates Thanos. And loves bigass fucking blades.
Then again they could completely veer and do the whole thing from the perspective of Rocket and I'd be ok.

Gamora has a lot of history with Thanos herself.
My favorite was something like "This is Drax who may or may not be the Destroyer"

Drax was Moondragon's father.

It's pretty clear.
Ant-Man footage that likely won't be around much longer
Not sure about the outfit, but I didn't get a good look at it.

But yeah, that was great.
On the one hand, that trailer was good but I'm not yet past the stage of denial where I can think they'll actually pull it off.
On the other hand, they got away with Thor, and Ant-Man seems much more feasible.
Kinda worried Ant-Man won't be summoning or communicating with ants any longer, and just be an Incredible Shrinking Industrial Espionage Ninja.
Did Eric O'Grady even have that ability? I think the importance of that ability was kind of phased out in the comics too.

And I hope the suit doesn't change too much. Love the Kamen Rider-esque feel to it.

I guess they can hire less voice actors this way.
If you turn on Morrison mode in the options, your choice of stage determines the winner no matter how well you play.
So
Not impossible!
I know!
