I'm kind of a Batman fanboy myself but that doesn't make Batman the only DC character I like and it sure as hell doesn't make all his buddies my mains so to say we want all the not want just because me and some others like Batman, I feel like we're being called idiots by the very people making these things.
Pretty much anything Batman related is what’s most popular with casuals due to him having so much exposure in other media. So it’s pretty likely the majority of the people playing Injustice don’t care as much about the other heroes and their villains. Not that I’m for having more Batman characters, I’m just saying. Although I do think people sometimes stretch things when they suggest characters like Two-Face and Riddler.
One thing I give Marvel/Capcom credit for is giving some of the lesser known characters more exposure in UMVC3. Despite narrow minded people complaining about characters they don't know getting in instead of ones they knew mainly from the 90s X-men and Spider-man cartoons, these characters inclusions helped gain them more fans.
On another note, the new skin packs are available on XBL
Blackest Night - Superman, Doomsday, and Flash
Red Son 2 - Batman, Green Lantern, and Deathstroke
Doomsday Containment Skin
If you're a season pass holder and you get the Doomsday Containment Skin, Scorpion comes along with him.

Adding one Kombatent does not automatically make Injustice a Mortal Kombat game. That would be like saying Soul Calibur V is Assassin's Creed because it has Ezio Auditore and MK9 is God of War because it has Kratos. Scorpion's just a guest character so quit your whining.
never said that it was....
All I said was that they wanted to separate it from MK yet they put scorpion in the game. Did Soul Calibur say "we want to separate this game from Assassins Creed?" Or maybe NR happened to say they "were going to separate MK9 from God of War" I highly doubt they did....
Scorpion being in this game was certainly a wast of space. After every character is released and playable Scorpion will still be a waste because instead of him they could have added someone else from DC. So I'll whine as much as I wish.
As for whats being said about the Batman characters. Go back some pages and you will see Im not a fan of that either. I believe my exact words were " They may as well call this game "Injustice Bats Among Us"

People on fb are pretty much begging for TKR Batman and Bane costumes...Only thing we can do is hope that we get some kind of poll to vote like in MM vs Zoom.
im pretty sure Ed Boon never wanted to add Zoom for real though because on Twitter awhile back he was talking about making Zoom an alternate skin for The Flash. Also a golden age Jay Garrick skin. Im excited about the hint of MM though! As for TDKR skins im sure it will happen. Like you said so many people are pretty much begging for them and all.
EDIT: also Catwomen, Harley, & WW skins

EDIT: Just so everyone knows the game is buggy right now. I went ahead and got the extra skin pack. I tried to use Blackest Night Flash and he wont work. I went into single fight to see that skin and fight Scorpion to see what hes like and all my attacks caused me to freeze in the down down Y position....

Anyways Yeah the Blackest Night skins are very buggy right now.
As far as Scorpion is concerned....
...his moves are really fluid and his combos are not that hard.....plus he's really fast. Like a tuned up version of MK9. Honestly he (like most of the characters in Injustice lol) can be spammed but he's not really very "OP". I fought a guy online and his Scorpion beat my Flash but only by a very small margin. Scorpions story ending isn't that bad. I still wish he wouldn't be taking up a slot though. They didn't even give me the option because all season pass owners are forced to download him. He is combined with the compatibility pack as mentioned above. Not really complaining about that though I mean I paid for him by way of buying the season pass so its whatever lol.
The Red Son 2 pack is up but can't be downloaded so I don't think it was suppose to be released yet.

Originally posted by EstacadoI don't think so. People with the season pass have a different in game download menu then those who don't. For instance the flashpoint skins don't appear for download if you have the season pass because they merged the two. However, if you don't have the season pass the flaspoint skins do show by themselves. SO I would assume if you see Scorpion as DLC separate from the compatibility pack then I would doubt it.
So I dont have season pass but Im dling DD skin...am I still getting scorpion for free?

I'm downloading Scorpion, but I still feel adding him when there are over 100 DC characters for them to choose from is an uninspired choice and that the backlash against him is completely justified.I mean how many fighting games have Scorpion playable in them? Around 9. The last game being released just two years ago and is still going on strong. NRS next game is most likely MK10 which is guaranteed to have Scorpion.
Now how many fighting games are there that have Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Zatanna, Swamp Thing etc playable? None. That's one thing I give Freddy credit for. He had never been in a fighting game and MK9 was the first time you could ever play as him in a video game. Not to mention he's much more popular/iconic than Scorpion.
If they had to put in a guest character, it could have been a Watchmen character instead.

I haven't had any problems like that thus far.
Oh yeah, first impression on Scorpion's gameplay. I like how they made the fiery flip kick one of his specials again instead of just part of a combo, a la Deadly Alliance. And his spear you can't really use as a followup for a combo or anything unless you use the meter burn variation, so that kinda sets him apart from his usual MK self. And I love his character trait where he has an aura of the Netherrealm's hellfire around him and automatically burns anyone up close. Wonder if that applies to when he's doing his closeup combos as well. mmm
Originally posted by Estacadowell its possiable that he is included then. But I wouldn't think so because then he would be a free character. Though that would make him a lot cooler if he was indeed free and there was a fourth character released so the season pass holders still get their money worth lol
I was thinking because Im DLing Containment costume from Live menu and the costume is 168.4mb which is character size DLC.......in this case how do people without season pass get Scorpion?

Well I went in and tried earlier and a title update popped up and now things are running smooth lol Maybe I was suppose to get the title update this morning and it just didn't pop up.
@ Black: Yeah, it does that sometimes.

So when is Scorpion going to be available for those who didn't get the season pass?
