    Lol Batgirl is most likely going to be the same thing as Batman just a female/Different skin we have enough of Bat family already :/

    Cyborg. On a somewhat related note, I really, really would love Cyborg for Legends :D

    As for the OP, sorry but you are choosing to ignore a lot of facts. Six of the last eight Legends characters were female, and I didn't hear one complaint that we were getting almost entirely female characters. Now all of a sudden it's a crime that they are going in the other direction? Especially considering that the female characters are at the bottom of sales, times played, etc?

    Also, almost all of the characters we are getting are heavily, heavily requested, and not because they are male, because they are popular. Flash, Deathstroke, and Green Arrow are the three most requested Legends by a long way. Black Adam and Shazam are clearly right behind that. After that, you have Kyle and Guy, the two most prominent Lanterns not on the roster. Grodd is a Flash version and brings us Mental powers, so he made sense even though I'm not much of a fan of his. All of the much-requested female characters (and to be honest, some that weren't) are already in the game, outside of perhaps Zatanna (who uses a wand, which might be tricky), and.... Raven (who totally should be in Legends :D) But the eight they are doing makes a lot of sense from the perspective of who is prominent as well as who is requested.

    And just to head off any accusations, the only Legends that I do not own or play on at least a semi-consistent basis are Circe and Felix Faust. Wonder Woman and Supergirl are two of my favorite Legends to play. As much as people want to turn this into a huge gender war, the direction they are going for in this year is totally the right way to go. Would we want them to replace Kyle Rayner with Zatanna simply because she is a woman? It doesn't make sense to me at all. We just got a ton of female characters, and I'm sure more will be released. Just have some patience instead of calling sexism at the available opportunity.

    Batwoman wouldn't necessarily be just a Batman reskin, and to say so shows narrow-mindedness and a lack of creative/imaginative thinking. Is Robin just a Batman reskin? Is Nightwing just a Batman reskin? Or The Huntress? As far as I can see, the only Batman reskins are, well, Batmans.

    There are only four representatives of the Batfamily in legends, how many laterns are there again? Kryptonians? Representatives of Magic?

    Plus Batwoman/Batgirl is a key figure in Bat-lore, she was there before Dick called himself Nightwing, she was there before The Huntress was even imagined.

    But you're certainly entitled to your own opinion. Thanks, though, for feeling the need to call me out so you could crap on mine...

    "Bat" Family has lots of legends. Most which are free. [Gotham characters]

    For Kryptonians there are 6.
    Lanterns 8.
    Magic? 7.

    semantics....

    gotham villains are no more "BatFamily" than Zod is a member of the House of El

    By your reasoning , is Lex also now a kryptonian?

    Different creators have different opinions on who is considered to be in the BatFamily. Some include Batgirl , but not Batwoman, others don't include The Huntress. Some don't include Stephanie Brown, but I think you would be hard pressed to find any that include any villains, other than Catwoman.

    When it comes to numbers, playstyles, strategies and the such, I have nothing but respect for your opinions, I always listen to what you have to say about legends play, but it seems in this instance that you want to argue just for the sake of arguing...

    Now if had wanted to point out that Batgirl and Batwoman are two different characters , or that Catwoman should be included in the Batfamily lineup , I would have had no choice but to concede , but the is no way that Joker, Harley, Bane or TwoFace can be considered "BatFamily"

    Hence the quotations on "bat" family.
    Still we have a fair amount of characters from all sides.
    I would not mind batgirl added to the game what so ever, as long as anything is not absurdly power or weak they could add Krypto for all I care.
    Just depends on the popularity on the said characters and how much revenue is going to come out if it.

    What they need to stop doing is making the 500 lantern characters with the same moves.

    There is only 2 lanterns with the same moves. Which both of which have different animations and a few different attacks.

    Listen, I'm not talking about movies or tv shows; The facts are that when it comes to DCUO, the lesser known characters are not making them money so what do you suggest? Keep doing it even though history shows that very few people are going to buy them? You don't understand the business part because if you did, you wouldn't be saying this. This is a trend that they are simply reacting to. Through movies and perhaps TV shows will the lesser known characters become more well known; I honestly believe that but not through this game. Just to piggyback on the Enquirer, for whatever reason, some characters will never be popular such as Circe who is in quite a lot of content.

    I never really thought about the gender, But Circe being released for legends is the only reason why I have spent money in this game. Ever since I bought Her, I haven't spend a single dime on the game because I did not find anything besides Circe worthy of my dollar. I will buy Poison Ivy too, they just are cool characters that have awesome powers.

    Come to think of it, however I have not found any male Legends characters that I truly enjoy using, I absolutely despise the lanterns which might be the major reason why but pretty much the only legends I use are: Power Girl, Ursa and Circe.
