"A new wrinkle, which will introduce a huge amount of strategy in the section and use of any fighter, is a designated power/ability button that is unique to each fighter. As mentioned above, Nightwing primarily uses his paired escrima sticks, but with a push of a button he combines them into a staff that gives his an entirely new moveset. However, that same button press won't have the same 'toggle' effect for every character. The Flash's extra power is instead a special meter that when full lets him speed himself up (in practice: slow down his opponent). Cyborg's meter allows him to 'self repair,' Wonder Woman's let's her temporarily use an Amazon sword and shield instead of her lasso, Harley Quinn can use it pull a random item (like a bundle of dynamite) out of a gift box and so on. These unique powers go along way to separating not only this game from other fighters, but to make it feel like you are controlling the actual characters and not just skinned wire-frames."

Thats ok but I would have preferred if his was different depending on each person he faced.
for insistence if he is facing superman then he could pull out a k-nite weapon and attack and against aquaman he could use something to dehydrate him....so on and so forth. I know it would have been a lot of things to do but it would have fit his character and would have been really sweet!

Things I'm looking forward to:Superman's gimmick.
Atlantis Stage (transitions + stage weapons), special and gimmick if he's in the game (which is likely given how much DC is pushing him).
Green Lantern's gimmick.**** it, I want to see it all!
Superman's gimmick is to power himself up ala Rage Mode I believe.

I'm halfway hype about this because Nightwing and Cyborg are in it. I'm skeptical because the last fighting game they made w/DC was awful. Tired of Hal Jordan. They should use John or Guy
Guy is the only one I would accept.
DCvMK wasn't THAT bad, imo.

That game was released four years ago and they released MK9 after that, which was more well-received.
This is an entirely different game. Even the movesets have changed dramatically. I see no reason to panic all because of MKvsDC (though I did like the game).

Agreed. MK's engine was given a major overhaul after MK vs DC for MK9, including a massive change in the fighting and combo system. This game is another departure again, so bar a few animations and having the same characters, this game is going to be very different from MKvsDC.
