Point being though people at least somewhat know Livewire from her being in stuff like Lego DC Supervillains and it's crazy to me how WB has kinda lost the plot that video games and animated shows are a perfect way to either introduce or reintroduce lesser-known characters from the comics to the masses instead of coming up with bland uninteresting new characters that never existed before this game and will likely never see the light of day again.

The starting four characters too are really well done and likeable. When they got to the DLC it started to go downhill immediately with Jonkler. They had the capacity to make good designs, they just chose to go with weird ones.

Very rarely does "We're going to go against what our audience wants" work out for any studio, not just with video games. It hasn't worked for Disney with Star Wars and Marvel. It didn't work for DC with Suicide Squad KTJL and the DCEU. It didn't work for Sony with Concord, nor Microsoft with Halo. One of the few times I can recall it working has been God of War 2018. From what I remember, most people were expecting a direct sequel to GOW3 until it was confirmed to be a soft reboot, but what they gave us was solid enough that most people were pleasantly surprised. There's a reason why what worked in the past was popular, and why the newer projects are able to use their names as a political platform, or to tell the story they want, regardless of if it makes sense

[@SpartanArmy117]

Nailed it. Another thing that might not be a bad thing is the approach Microsoft might be taking with things like the new Perfect Dark. Slightly lower budget titles that can be released on a much better timeline and with a greater chance of returning revenue since the budget isn't a trillion dollars.

The shit these CEOs get away with saying is just wild to me. To suggest that you actually have to finish a game before selling it should not be presented as something new on an earnings call. FOH. People are finally sick of all these live services, game launches that need months of patchwork, and just generally ignoring player expectations (Looking at you Avengers!). They’ve made gaming an expensive hobby. It’s about time gamers demand they deliver.

A very quick look at the highlights of the Bronze Age comics roster: Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Enchantress, *Penguin* , Killer Frost, Slipknot, Speedy, *Thinker* , *Weasel* , Captain Cold, Doctor Light, *Poison Ivy* , *Black Adam* . Literally *any* of those characters, or Katana, or Solomon Grundy, Bane, Cheetah, Black Manta... But, no. No interest in using actual classic characters.
