So… just for the sake of conversation, assume the end credits/Season Pass INI/Portuguese Facebook leaks are authentic and that Batgirl, Zod, and Scorpion will round out the first set of DLC characters. Which four characters would you expect to see (not want to see) in a potential second wave?
The first set of DLC consists of 2 Gadget heroes and 2 Power villains, so I think for the sake of balance the second wave would include 2 Power heroes and 2 Gadget villains.
Martian Manhunter - This goes without saying. There have been countless MMH hints thrown our way over the past few months.
Booster Gold - Booster Gold has never been directly hinted at, but as far as potential Power type heroes go, he's definitely the most popular character after Martian Manhunter. He's not unlike Lobo in that he's a wise-cracking '90s fan favorite with a cult following.
Professor Zoom - Ed Boon said in interviews last year that Professor Zoom is his favorite Flash villain and that he really wanted to include him in Injustice, but because he's so similar to Flash other characters were prioritized. Boon also asked via Twitter last month if people would rather see MMH or Zoom as DLC -- who's to say he wasn't seriously considering both? If NetherRealm can make Black Adam unique from Shazam, Batgirl unique from Batman, and Zod unique from Superman, then I'm sure they can differentiate Zoom from Flash. He could utilize dirty boxing techniques (headbutts, toe stomps, and cheap shots), teleports, as well as some of Flash's MKvDCU attacks that didn't make the jump.
Poison Ivy - The on-disc roster is 1/4 Batman characters and 1/4 female; Batgirl as one of the DLC characters retains this balance. With 4 female heroes and 3 female villains, Poison Ivy would not only even this representation out as the fourth female villain, but she would also preserve the 1/4 Batman, 1/4 female ratio. She also has a ton of moveset potential, she's popular, and the game is lacking in a plant elemental character.
