Catwoman is unique. It lines up with the speculated/leaked 29 characters including Darkseid. Information as of build from two weeks ago.

Thank you so much for confirming! And for the Mr. Freeze tidbit, too lol. I'm happy he's more than likely a skin but honestly I wish we had a different character in Catwoman's place . I'm very interested in seeing how Cheetah plays. Oh well, bring on the DLC haha.

EDIT: I'm glad I'm actually awake for once for a reveal yaaay.

 

[Compbros]

So if that holds true we have, not counting skins, 8 Batman to Supes and Flash combined 6. Gross.

 

[Steiner]

Are we expecting an 11 AM central reveal? Are we looking to IGN?

 

[Khezu]

I know, it's disappointing.
I don't know what they were thinking having in both Grodd AND Cold.
Could have gotten a cool character like Red Hood in the base roster instead.

That's the hope

Out of left fucking field hahaha. There was like no hint that pointed to Swamp Thing. Looks cool though.

 

[Gleethor]

Looks dope as shit

 

[tim1138]

Swampy looks amazing

Swamp Thing was in the leak.

To be fair, while I believe the leak, Swamp Thing was predictable. He was heavily requested for the first game and was in Boon's "who do you want to see next?" poll alongside Blue Beetle and Captain Cold.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Swamp Thing is the coolest looking character in this game so far, interesting gameplay, neat animations and a design that looks exactly like the comics.

 

[Compbros]

His moveset looks like what you'd expect from Ivy so how's she gonna play?

 

[LordOfLore]

Ivy stage at 0:38?

 

[lucebuce12]

Ivy stage at 0:38?

That's Arkham. Was already shown off in Black Canary's footage.

 

[Compbros]

Ivy stage at 0:38?

It's just the outside of Arkham Asylum, which looks rundown and would have plants overrunning it. Clearly a Swamp Thing stage at :47 though.

 

[sinkfla87]

The best thing about this video is watching Swamp Thing beat up that little brat, Damian lol. He looks amazing and can't wait to try him out.

 

[LordOfLore]

That's Arkham. Was already shown off in Black Canary's footage.

Ah, yeah. Looked a bit more overgrown than I expected. Focused more on Deadshot in the Dinah trailer.

 

[vg260]

Swamp Thing looks totally rad, and that stage looks fantastic! Love it!

 

[Neoxon]

True, plus DC has been giving Swamp Thing quite the push, lately.

 

[bizzarewars]

HOLY SHIT SWAMP THING! ALL OF MY YES.

 

[vg260]

I've been very impressed by the stages so far. They seem to have put a ton of work into little details. I noticed in the beta all of the little background touches in the bar stage with people milling about. I just hope we get a decent a amount.

 

[CommandThrower]

Swamp Thing looks cool, but the trailer didn't wow me like I thought it would. I'll need to see a movelist before I really consider playing Swamp Thing like I will Grodd.

 

[J-Tier]

He is so sick. I love it. Probably my favorite DC character...realized in a fighting game... *wipes tear*

 

[Gleethor]

So there's the Slaughter Swamp stage that was leaked in the stream a few weeks ago when the menu voice over said the wrong stage. Guessing the other half of the stage could be the "evil" part of the swamp (Grundy transition, Legion of Doom in the background etc)

 

[IntelliHeath]

Expected but the moveset looks so much fun to playing with. They really make their newcomers looks more interesting and fun.

 

[HelloNewman]

Looks great that super is brutal.

 

[Spinky]

So uh, will be very interesting to see what they do with Ivy now.

 

[Slaythe]

I really feel like they should have retooled batman and superman a little because they look so shit in comparison to vritually every other character.

Especially superman. Batman is decent now to be honest and he doesn't have his hideous pose anymore so he feels fresh . Superman is basically the same but nerfed, 0 fun.

 

[J-Tier]

So uh, will be very interesting to see what they do with Ivy now.

Indeed. Canonically, she'd have a snowflakes chance in hell matching up to Swamp Thing (though the majority of the roster would). I imagine they'd play more with her ability to produce toxins/pheromones. Maybe she'd summon a carnivorous plant as well.

They were actually on a team for awhile IIRC.

Even before Swamp Thing was revealed, this is what I was expecting from Ivy:

- Blows a kiss that makes the opponent do a trance walk forward
- Summons a Venus flytrap that bites if the opponent gets too close
- Summons a mushroom that releases spores if the opponent gets too close
- Secretes toxins from her body, doing dot damage
- A bunch of clever stuff involving poison

Swamp Thing is a big, lumbering, high damage grappler, and Poison Ivy would be a nimble zoner with lots of traps.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Swamp Thing was in the leak.

I mean that he was today's reveal. Everyone guessed Firestorm.

 

[Slaythe]

What are the chances for Superboy to be in the game ? =(

 

[Finaika]

What are the chances for Superboy to be in the game ? =(

Maybe a skin for Superman like Power Girl.

Yeah, I'd really like to see the Venus Fly Trap. She'd probably have no mushrooms though, they aren't plants lol, however, spores/pollen will most likely be a thing in her moveset (or not, as Scarecrow will have fear gas which would have similar utility). I do see her doing a lot of damage over time moves--I actually expect it since it's an unused mechanic so far.

 

[GringoSuave89]

What are the chances for Superboy to be in the game ? =(

Based on the leak lining up thus far, 0.3%

He could be a dlc character but ehhhh, unlikely.

 

[Slaythe]

Maybe a skin for Superman like Power Girl.

But that's the reason I want Superboy, to move away from that awful superman moveset D: ...

Superman is my favorite character.

Also they fixed Robin's mask.

I hope you can remove his hood and that he still has some hair and not shaved ;p .

 

[delSai]

Oh hey, they changed Robins Mask. Could be Gear, who knows.

What are the chances for Superboy to be in the game ? =(

Maybe a skin for Superman like Power Girl.

Ed did a poll about him and asked who wants to see him, but yeah, i think the only chance he has is as a premier skin.

That moveset is too strong. In the corner it'd be a nightmare.

Shaved was more Tim from Arkham series' thing.

 

[Slaythe]

Shaved was more Tim from Arkham series' thing.

Well Damian was already "nightwing" so... I feel like they shaved him maybe to avoid clipping through the hood or something.

I really hope it's part of the cape and that the gear has some version without it, and that he has a nice haircut...

 

[Ryce]

She'd probably have no mushrooms though, they aren't plants lol

I know, but Wikipedia makes it sound like she can control fungi as well:

For example, while in Arkham, she was able to manipulate and animate plants, using roots to form supports for a tunnel she and another inmate named Magpie were digging to escape, and also spawning glowing fungi to entertain Magpie.

With that said, if not a mushroom then a poisonous flower like the Arkham Asylum interactable in the first game would suffice. I just want her to summon something besides a Venus flytrap, covering the stage with various plants.

 

[Spinky]

That huge mask looked terrible on Robin, looks so much better here.

I'll never understand why NRS put Gear on their characters in their debut trailers and make them look worse.

Those shoulder pad things on Swampy might be Gear, too.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I can't believe he got shown, haha. He's so damn awesome! I really love what he can do. I'm sure his gear will be pretty damn sweet as well. That stage is lovely. <3

I mean that he was today's reveal. Everyone guessed Firestorm.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... I actually called for Swamp Thing.

 

[Red Arremer]

So uh, will be very interesting to see what they do with Ivy now.

Should be pretty easy, honestly. Poison Ivy will most likely be using poisons, what with flowers blowing out toxic pollen and such, as well as use vines a lot more prominently. I can see her having fullscreen entangling roots, as well as her using vines as a teleport similarly to how Batgirl was in IJ2 with her grappling hooks. I also can see her using man-eating plants chomping down on people. Finally, I wouldn't be surprised if she was given some sort of healing and/or a "mind control" mechanic as well.
Her close range combat also is likely going to be a lot more delicate than Swamp Things brutish brawling.

I imagine her being a cross between Killer Frost and Batgirl, with a more floral theme of course, and her own unique stuff.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Dammit. It makes me sad that Grundy isn't in... DLC don't fail me

Also, I really hope he has the head piece as one of his gears:
