Also, alternate skins like Power Girl work like a shader. They wont have their own unique gear. Which I guess is ok. At least they'll have unique dialogue.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

I can understand that, it's better than nothing. Also holy shit swamp thing looks awesome
I watched the trailer, I guess I didn't see anything too offensive there?
A trailer featuring strong, capable women doing their fighting moves. I guess I don't see a problem? Unless you're saying that calling out women fighters is itself offensive?
I mean, they haven't dropped a trailer saying "Here comes the boys!" because that's just silly and redundant. We all know their genders, we don't need it highlighted. Plus the way they unceremoniously revealed 3 women characters this way when every other character has gotten a dedicated gameplay trailer. I'm not offended but it's just like....why?
Interestingly, Cheetah appears to be her own character and not a premium skin for Catwoman like the leak suggests.
I think the leak didn't specify which characters were skins/characters. That photoshop someone made did, but the actual leak just listed out everyone's names.
I don't remember seeing a dedicated trailer for Aquaman or Blue Beetle, and Robin was debuted in the story trailer before he got a character trailer, so there's a small chance they'll put one out for Poison, Catwoman and Cheetah.
With the game expected to be released before EVO and still about half of the roster to be officially revealed, it's possible they're just going to ramp things up quickly without the one-a-week character trailers.
Bah, I didn't realize this didn't have a PC release at the same time.
Shame. Man, I really wanted to get in the ground floor of this one.
Yeah, I don't want to be Debbie Downer or anything but NRS has a really bad track record with PC development. Things like: patches behind, very dodgy net code, DLC not only not keeping pace but also straight up not being offered, and ceasing development on PC while actively developing for consoles... MKX was a shitshow if you got in on the ground floor on PC and had aspirations of being competitive. (This was my experience with that game).
From what I understand, it mostly boiled down to NRS themselves, as a company, not actually having staff with the proper skills to develop for PC. They outsourced everything (and to different studios to boot) and it was all left up to the discretion of their publisher. It was a mess.
For me personally, for a Day One PC purchase, Ed Boon would basically have to do a live stream tour of the new PC developers' offices showing them actively working and a contract with the developer promising top tier PC support. That's not going to happen, so I guess I'll catch it on a sale sometime. I just have to advise other people to do the same, or buy it on console if that's an option.
Y'all are crazy those faces look stunning, and cheetahs looks great too? Maybe it's uncanny valley creating different emotional responses? Or maybe I'm the crazy one
The only face I don't like is Aquamans and that's not because of the quality, I think he just looks kind of lame. Like he looks too young and fresh faced, they should go with something more grizzled and King Tridenty. Hopefully some of the armour sets allow you to put a beard on him. He doesn't even have stubble it's weird.
I don't like Superman's. At all. It's just missing something important. Partly it's the hair, but just the overall face seems a bit too plain, a bit too unspecific.
From the little they've shown, I was getting the impression that Batman was the one going too far this time. Seems like it's still just "Superman is a dick" though.
I will never, ever get tired of Kevin Conroy as Batman, either!

Im honestly ok with that, but I hope that they have superman change his mind. I dont want the game to end with him still not realising how much of a dick hes being. Cyborg looks ok, to be expected.
I was thinking and one thing im excited about in the far future is Mortal Kombat with a gear system, id love that
Yep, that's totalitarian evil dick Superman alright.
How the hell is Batman never the villain in these?
I think when one of his foundational pillars is no killing it makes it tough, like the worst you can do is ask questions about his surveillance state tactics and maybe comment on his protection of the status quo. Which, when you've got guys like brainiac as the background baddie, makes him hard to swallow as a bad guy that anyone would be worried about

Two reasons I think.
One, that the dark brooding Batman is the one individual in the entire DCU that will not move one iota from his ideals, even as more optimistic and powerful people like Supes struggle (and sometimes fail) to keep to their beliefs and personal rules against adversity is an interesting theme, and fits with the idea that his real superpower isn't his intelligence or skills, but is his will.
Second, Batman going bad is Batman is killing bad guys, which considering how wound up he his, would make him into... The Punisher. Neat idea for a one off, but not really a villain to threaten the entire world (unlike say, the closest thing to a god deciding that the world should do as he says, or else)
Well, at least not a first. Him foiling other heroes trying to stop him while he works on some kind of ultimate solution might work as a story, but everyone will know Bats has gone completely off the deep end in time to stop him, because half of Gotham's criminals would be dead the night it finally happens.
More or less. They're both wizards who can do whatever the plot needs them to do.
He looks cool, but I'm underwhelmed by the super. I like the appearance of the Tower of Fate (I'm assuming that's where they go) but once there he should do something more spectacular then smash them against a wall.

I think it's safe to say that leak is 100% legit now.

Here come the girls? That's a little reductive and demeaning.

You get to see a... VERY redesigned Scarecrow
Whoo! This finally gives me a reason to get a new console. This and the Spider-Man game from Naughty Dog.

That said Superman still looks a bit weird to me but I'm not sure why.
The rest are fine I guess. NR are just bad at faces, but at least you can see with this new game they are trying. :P

So he's like the DC version of Dr. Strange?
He looks cool, but I'm underwhelmed by the super. I like the appearance of the Tower of Fate (I'm assuming that's where they go) but once there he should do something more spectacular then smash them against a wall.
Oh FUCK yes! I love what they did with his moveset, looks like a very Ermac/Sinestro kinda setup guy.
Can't wait to see his gear, I bet there will be throwbacks to his older costumes in there
Neeeeeaaaatto
