On a side note it looks like they are giving Aquaman he classic power of hydrokinesis back!

One of the major plot points in the Flashpoint Alternate Universe was that amongst other changes Wonder Woman and Aquaman were at war and had nearly destroyed all of Europe.

Aquaman's story is shaping up to be interesting, but the gameplay isn't anymore appealing than the rest of the cast. Nether Realm could learn a thing or two from Capcom and Namco when it comes to making aquatic characters work.

Depending on era, Aquaman never leaves the ocean or Atlantis unless he is called for business for the Justice League, which is rarely and he eventually leaves forever because he doesn't give a crap about humans. He answers to no one.

I hope Dr.Fate is a background thing only cause then it will be even harder....

Are you guys seriously complaining about personalities? I see what you're saying when you mention MK but trying to relate that to Injustice is not smart. First of all, these characters already have established personalities thanks to comics and we haven't seen enough at all to even make the claim that they have "no personalities." Have you guys forgotten about Green Arrow, Harley, Joker, Solomon, Catwoman, and Lex who already exert a good amount of personality?

The ignorance of the human race...

AkumaMishima said on February 13, 2013 at 11:11 a.m.

During the late eighties, X-Men had a mutant named Cypher. Cypher had the innate ability to understand and use any form of communication. For a primarily combat based organization, this ability was severely limited and the character wasn't particularly popular among fans.

A few years ago, Marvel brought back Cypher. His powers hadn't changed but according to the newer comics his understanding of them had grown immensely. They allowed him to "read" body language and became an excellent fighter, this same "body reading" basically gave him telepathy as well.

Being an awesome fighter and reading minds has nothing to do with language really, but Marvel saw he was unpopular and decided to juice him up with cool things. I see DC as doing this with Aquaman for the last ten years or so. Being able to control fish was a very limited ability, so now he's super strong, super good at fighting, and he controls massive horrors from the sea that would make cthulhu wet the bed.

Nice vid, where's Black Adam?

You're comparing generic "I livez for teh fights" Ryu... to Scorpion? And then saying RYU has more personality? Is this really happening? Dude, there's no comparison. Scorpion's loss of his family, his quest for vengeance, and his ultimate forgiveness of Sub-Zero CRUSHES Ryu's whole "I want to be the best because Capcom won't give me other character motives" bullsh**.

I personaly like the DC New 52 - Aquaman comics, it is one of the best in terms of artwork. It was obvious that DC would want Aquaman in the game.

I still don't understand the people that don't like him, they make too much noise about hating Aquaman. Get over it, choose another character.

Atleast NR's trying something new how many dang street fighters are there? Better yet your proabably the same guy who jumped on the UMvC3 because thats completely exceptable. But It's just the cool thing to do to bash on NR's gameplay right? I like MvC for what it is but seriously Wait till you've played before you claim it sucks

"I still don't understand the people that don't like him, they make too much noise about hating Aquaman. Get over it, choose another character."

Really, no-one that hates him considers him important enough to require *getting over*. It's not that serious. It's not serious at all. He's just a bit of a running joke is all. That and he's an easy target. Kinda like the Millhouse Van Houten of the comic world. DC had to buff him for a reason, but the stigma attached to him is too gleeful and whimsical to let the buff matter.

@51: Ryu? Like... seriously? "The real big deal guy"? Since Street Fighter 1 only thing the guy does is "I must fight strong opponents to become stronger" and... that's it. Hell, even Zangief, Rufus, Sakura and Dan have better personalities than generic fighter Ryu.

Anyone who says Mortal Kombat characters don't have personalities cleary only played MK games 'till Armageddon, in MK9 all characters have amazing developed & unique personalities, perfeclty reflected on the amazing story mode.

It didn't even start with MK9. Bo Rai Cho by himself has more personality and internal conflict than the entire SF4 cast combined. I'm not being facetious: I can demonstrate that point.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Street Fighter's characters are not meant to rival Odysseus, Beowulf, or Hamlet. They're meant to be archetypes, story skins that players mentally put on to further immerse themselves into the experience. MK, however, was the product of cult films and epic fantasy/sci-fi, and that's the caliber it aspires towards.
