Sometimes the Robins and Batgirls get *really* mixed up. There's been what... at least 4 Robins and 4 Batgirls? (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne; Betty Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown - plus all the alternate timeline/universe versions) The turnover rate for Batman's sidekicks is worse than part-time retail positions. They all seem to get killed (Jason Todd), maimed (Barbara Gordon), or turn into bad guys (looking at YOU, Cassandra). Personally, I was kinda hoping for Starfire, Static Shock, Blue Beetle, Red Hood (Jason Todd), or Ravager (Rose Wilson). But I guess we can't have every comic character. Though in my opinion the roster is pretty sparse considering what Marvel vs. Capcom's rosters are like. Not to mention Ravager would be too much like Deathstroke in playstyle and Red Hood would be a bit too much like Nightwing. At least give us Martian Manhunter, though. Dear God, why do people always forget about him? HE IS AWESOME! ;_; I can understand most of the playable characters being in the game, but I don't see why Ares and Solomon Grundy are there. Ares... bleh. Not exactly iconic unless you're a big fan of Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl (Wonder Girl is probably more relevant to more modern/younger audiences, and she's not even in the game). And Solomon Grundy is just kinda bland. So many better (and more iconic) Batman villains they could have used, like Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Ra's al Ghul, or Deadshot. I mean, just choose one. Hell, even the Scarecrow would have been more interesting than Solomon Grundy. I am, however, really pleased that Deathstroke, Shazam, and Raven are in it. To be honest I wasn't expecting Shazam or Raven to be in it, but I can be pleasantly surprised. I was pretty disappointed that Scorpion was one of the FOUR DLC characters (assuming it's true). I know he's an obvious choice for an MK crossover, but between the choice of a crossover character and another DC character, I'd take another DC character any day of the week. I already own MK9, so why would I bother using Scorpion? Considering the sheer number of cool DC characters they could have used, it's seriously a wasted opportunity. Any real DC fan could instantly rattle off ten characters that they would trade for Scorpion. It also irritates me because I suspect he's going to be a direct port of his MK9 version. I'm okay with Zod and Lobo. I was never a cult fan of Lobo, but I know he does have a large fanbase. Zod is just badass. If he wasn't in a game where Superman is a main character I would question Netherrealm's sanity. If they have Batgirl, it should be Barbara Gordon. Just my personal opinion, but I think it would fit better considering that Cassandra turns into a bad guy after the One Year Later arc. Not to mention she was the first Batgirl that actually mattered.

Non-canon story that became canonized due to popularity. Granted, shitty writing. Quote:
Which Zod? |

Cassandra Cain was handled badly, they later had it being that she was under the influence of a drug.
With how badly the Heel Turn was with her DC started to consider her "Toxic" and still do to this very day even though THEY screwed up her character with a very poorly planned event to try and help Tim Drake who didn't need help anyway. Hell, Tim fans were angry that Cassandra, who has a great relationship and history with Tim and is one of his most trusted allies, was changed so drastically and for no good reason. Cassandra also sold consistently well when she had her Batgirl title so this change made even LESS sense as she didn't even need it either nor was it wanted. Than there's the thing about Tim still being one of the characters that can hold a book with just his name alone and sell well. Like how they used Tim to sell New 52 Teen Titans and only now are they considering on giving Tim his own solo again. |

Discounts his point, how?

At least his writers never had him get raped and constantly failing because if he succeeded, he'd be too similar to Batman. Poor Nightwing. |

Yeah...
I still can't believe that they had Nightwing have that happen to him by that crazy lady. What's even more sad is that the person that did that issue didn't believe it was what it was even after saying that Nightwing was in no position to say No and wasn't into her. Though to be fair Tim has almost had women force themselves upon him a few times(Such as Red Robin where Ra's wanted his DNA for a true heir and it almost happened until Cassandra saved him from losing his virginity) and he has a lot of girls that want his virginity as lovers. Even his adopted sister Cassandra wants Tim and Tim still remembers that he saw her naked before in the same thought process as he's thinking of his other love interests that he has seen naked while slowing heading towards a girl that was showering. |
