I’m not mad that they’re using batman villains, because he has villains that would be amazing in fighting game form.
I’m mad that they picked fucking Catwoman, out of all the amazing villains that would have worked, they picked shitty(by comparison) Catwoman.
Why not Poison Ivy? Why not Bane? I’d honestly take the fucking Penguin or the Creeper over Catwoman.
And thats just the Batman villains that would’ve been better choices than her.
I’m usually open to most characters but this, this is truly a wasted slot.
I thought the whole point of this was to be over the top super powered mayhem but so far only Supes, Flash, and Cyborg do anything remotely over the top. Fucking Catwoman, literally nothing but a thief with a whip and metal clawed gloves.
Who are they gonna reveal next? Damian Wayne? The Wonder Twins? Dr. Psycho? Lois Lane? Seriously though, Catwoman was a shit choice.
Yeah, whatever story they want to come up with, you would think with a name like “Gods Among Us,” the baseline would be something like, “can fistfight Superman.”
It was quite obvious that we would see Catwoman in the game.
Like it or not, but she has her fan-base and the people who wanted to see her in the game.
I’m not one of them.
I would have rather seen Poison Ivy or Clayface in the game. Hell yeah, maybe even the Penguin as the ultimate troll-character for the game with ridiculous umbrella-zoning.
Catwoman really feels like a wasted slot for me, since there are more interesting characters. I was hoping to see Red Hood, but that kinda seems to be unlikely for now, but how knows … maybe half of the cast will be Batman-characters in the end… if they’re the right characters, why not, but if I see one Robin-version of the game, oooooh … I’ll go to the Gamescom and hunt Ed Boon down.
Catwoman isn’t a no name DC villain but she certainly isn’t in the tops, if this was a Batman fighting game hell yeah she would be obvious.
This isn’t a Batman game though, and she isn’t anywhere near the most requested or important or wanted characters in the possible roster.
Of all the batman villains there is only one that you could truly call a given, and thats The Joker.
Catwoman is about as “obvious” as Two-Face or the Penguin, all are popular and easily identifiable, but no one is really gonna be asking for them when bigger and better characters are available. Especially not in a game called “Gods Among us” Nightwing and Harley are already exceptions to that title, but at least they’re cooler than Catwoman.
I don’t see anything special about the game’s title. The “God’s Among Us” could just be how the government and/or general public view the heroes. The second season of JLU reeked of this. It’s possible something similar is going on with this game.
So now we are looking at at least 5 batman characters… sigh can’t say Im surprised but I do hope enough they give a significant amount of other characters some shine.
Just because Catwoman is in the game doesn’t mean that there aren’t any more Batman villains in the game.
I feel like SRK has this discussion every time there’s a new character announcement in any game. “Chris announced for Marvel 3? Bullshit, where’s Wesker? Wasted slot.” Relax, there are more characters in this game than the ones that happened to get announced this week, and each one obviously isn’t going to appeal to every single player.
I don’t even understand why Ed Boon has to do this every time he makes a new game with DC character.
It’s fighting game that might as well not even be canon in to DC universe, or the story. We don’t know how strong Superman is, that’s up to Ed Boon to do that, but the game play is not the storyline.
This discussion happens on every video game forum for every fighting game character reveal ever. Fan reaction to every reveal is like 25% satisfaction, 25% concession and 50% indomitable disappointment. I can’t personally say I’m psyched at the character choice, but its not like it doesn’t already look like they’ve done a bunch of cool shit with her. Except the anti air whip snap I didn’t see a single move from vDC and she got dat Berserker Claw, so. . . sold. Especially happy they didn’t blow the fucking super, though I’m sure they’ll get around to it. Its probably just not done like Batman’s.
Her being in the game means some other better, more fitting character will be left out.
There are only 25 slots and she’s one of them.
They already have 4(5 if you count the joker) batman characters and two of them are female, the chances of Ivy or Talia are minuscule now. Since 5 out of 25 characters in the game are batman characters the rest won’t be, probably.
You can’t deny that it is extremely unlikely anymore batman villains/characters will included, especially not females due to how male-centric fighting games are.
And this is going by my faith in NRS not being completely batman retarded.
I really could give less of a fuck if they decided to include more batman rogues, I want more heavy hitters and people with cool powers.
There are thousands of unique characters with crazy powers, but only 25 can be in this game and one is fucking lame.
Her being in means other characters won’t be in, obviously.
If they wanted a female character that loved animals, was fast, and had claws they could have used Vixen, at least she has variety.
I don’t want specifics, I just want not catwoman, and not lame.
Ivy and (especially) Talia were never particularly likely anyways though.
Catwoman, on the other hand, was almost a given. The surprising Batman family characters so far really have been nightwing and super triple for sure Harley.
I like Catwoman’s outfit
Ms. Fortune has better puns though
Tank shots has me worried. The stage stuff was really cool because it was activated/controlled and then that. I hope it wasn’t activated by jumping off the car, that kind of screws the agile characters get new defensive options, others characters get new offensive options.
Ask a non-serious Comics fan though, most of them would be “Joker, Lex Luthor, Catwoman” as baddies they knew about. Plus, she’s really easy to make into a fighting character, what with the whip and the claws and the acrobatics.
Even in-world, she’s much more central to the whole batman world (at least in the longterm, dunno much about the very current version).
Catwomen looks good, wana see a breakdown of her moves. However, im still being patient. Cause I wana see NRS digg deep into DC Comics and bring out some lesser known characters.
There’s ALOT they can choose from. Hoping they dont fill 99.0% of the character slots with the cream of the crop and or well known characters of the DC comics.
As a serious Batman (comic) fan, I am not at all surprised or disappointed with the selection of Catwoman. She has been an important character in the Batman world for decades.
