The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum: Imagine Yourself As A DCU Hero/Villain

Usually I present one topic per forum post for The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, but with the Injustice: Gods Among Us craze going on, I feel like making an exception.

Topic 1
Imagine yourself a character in the DC Universe. If you can be any DCU super-hero (or super-heroine for female readers), who would it be? Lots to chosse from: whether it's Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Green Lantern, The Flash, Black Canary, Starfire, Aquaman, or whatsoever. You're welcome to talk about why.

Topic 2
Imagine yourself a character in the DC Universe. If you can be any DCU super-villain (or super-villainess for the female readers), who would it be? Lots to choose from: whether its' Lex Luhthor, Scarecrow, Bane, Black Manta, Poison Ivy, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd, Captain Cold, etc. You're welcome to talk about why.

Note that DC Universe does not cover all DC-owned super-hero content (Watchmen and V for Vendetta are examples of non-DCU DC Comics superhero works), in case some of you reading this post are new to the DCU experience.

As for those of you of Canadian residence, Happy Canada Day by the way!

The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum: Injustice: Gods Among Us

Today's topic on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum is all about Injustice: Gods Among Us, the new DC Universe-based video game from the makers of Mortal Combat. While I never played the video game myself, I find that the visual look of of the game itself, from what I have seen on Reviews of the Run and on the internet anyway, are very impressive, especially when the designs for the DC Universe characters look like the kind that could translate well into live-action filmed media without any drastic need for alteration. Anyway, here are some questions to think about as you take part in this forum post, that is if you played the game: What is the game play like? What do you find to be the strengths and weaknesses of this video game? Do you find this game worth playing, even in comparison/contrast to previous DC Universe video games? Would you say this video game could serve as good introduction to all things DC Universe for video game players who have never read a comic book before? Do you think this game has the potential of encouraging former comic book-reading gamers to return to reading comic book stories of the DC Universe's heroes and villains? Would you like to see this video game get a movie treatment in the future, regardless of format (live-action or animated)?
