Looks awesome. Yet two more solid reasons to invest in this already-promising game.

I knew Sinestro would lose but I wish he won. I like Hawkgirl's gameplay and Sinestro's for that matter. Now Green Arrow's winning was really ridiculous.

@The Average Bear: Yup, though I didn't include that info because we've seen the stage and his presence before.

Green Arrow had no business beating Hawkgirl. Wow, just wow. Fan voting is horrible, we've known that since the 90s DC Marvel crossover. Lex loses to the Joker, and now this travesty. And of course Bats will beat WONDER WOMAN, and the Joker will probably BEAT THE FLASH! I dont think I can contain my nerd rage if that happens. Really, based on the brackets they set up, the final match should have been Superman v Flash, and I cant say who should win that, whoever has the fight on there terms (ie. Flash has to go to Supes or Vice Versa).

But, on a lighter note, knocking an opponent through a Boom Tube to Apokolips?! And then said opponent getting thrashed and Omega Effect'd by him?! That is ridiculous, inane fun. I love the level of interactivity, the fan service, the Super Attacks, and the speed and visceral feeling in the combat.

Batman fights Superman and wins the tournament. There, I just saved you the trouble of watching 7 more videos.

I have to agree, this game is ridiculously over-the-top and I love it for that.

Sounds like Cam Clarke doing Sinestro's voice and Jennifer Hale as Hawkgirl. These super moves seem kind of unimpressive. I think some of them could have been a bit more creative than they look. My excitement for this game has already peaked and these videos are just icing on the cake.

Other people may have already noticed them, but if you look in the background of the Green Arrow and Hawkgirl video at 2:11, you can clearly see a few JSA members.... Starman, Dr. Mid-Nite (I think), Sandman and Dr. Fate (or at least their costumes). Taking this into consideration, and given that Atom Smasher is fighting in the background, I wonder if the JSA (or their descendants) will play a role in the story....  

We know that the Fourth World will play a role in one form or another, but on the pillars at 1:03, there are statues of Mr. Miracle and Big Barda and at 0:28, there is a giant bust of Orion. Of course, you can't really miss the Darkseid appearance.... 

I know that there are plenty more characters and statues, but most (if not, all) of them have been confirmed or referenced in one way or another, as far as I'm aware. 
 
EDIT: Stargirl at 0:34

My only disappointment is that it looks like Darkseid won't be a playable character since he's a stage hazard.

That final fight was BS. As soon as Hawkgirl smashed Ollie in the face with her mace, that would have ended the fight. Ollie over Hawkgirl? The people who voted that were plain nuts.

The Green Arrow/Hawkgirl fight had probably one of the coolest interactive environments I've ever seen in a game. Who was that robot standing there in the beginning?

The whole thing is gonna be BS. It's been a popularity competition from day one. Either way it's a fighting game with smoothed out power levels and any of these characters could potentially wreck any opposing character on the roster. One could brainstorm for 5 minutes and figure out a way for Harley Quinn to beat Superman because that's just comics.

@mk111: Well yea, but i meant unlockable characters

A lot of people are worried their favorites wont be in the game but they havent considered that they may be secret

Although judging from the last game the only secret character will probably be cyborg batman or zombie joker

The highlight of this fight for me in the map. It look so great and so imposing with all the statues. The guys who designed this level did an outstanding job. My favorite by far.

Pretttttty much all of this. Lex losing to Joker? Arrow beating Hawkgirl? Flash beating Shazam? Okay - and I'm Goldilocks.
