So DC just announced that after over 25 years they're finally bringing The Phantasm into the DC comics universe proper. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/0...he-phantasm-makes-her-dc-comics-debut-in-2020 And now the question will be this: how long before folks start asking if/when she can get added to the game?
I don't know Phantasm character... but, it's about time we had Batgirl in the game. Perhaps with the upcoming movie we might, but then it'll be the Barbara Gordon character, who is a bit dull. Cassandra Cain remains the most interesting Batgirl, and she has been working at the Tech vendor since day one. I want her in the game! Ans still no Batgirl Legends character.
Legendary film.. way to mature for the audience it was made for... great characters & awesome armor, id love her mask/ cape
Phantasm... she plays a specific role in BTAS that I doubt a transition into comics will retain her nuance. Not that I care about the title anyway. Her gender neutral get up is perfect for progressional gear though. I think it's safe to say Barbara won't be Batgirl since the way they did it in the comics involves erasing her disability and turning Oracle into a shallow villainous AI. Oracle is just too integral as a guidance in DCUO for them to do anything near that. (I also hope Oracle returns to being BG's prime role in the broader DC mythos but...sigh) I think the real question is if we'll see Cass as Batgirl or Orphan. She's gonna show up in the BoP episode either way.
good point, Oracle is well established in game already! Still, I remember a comic story about Oracle recovering feeling in her toes... the beginning of getting over her disability... ages ago. I don't think it was ever pursued though. Oracle is a pretty cool character, I liked her. Barbara's Batgirl was too one-dimensional for me. I prefer her continuing as Oracle, and having the more edgy Batgirls wearing the cape. I liked Orphan too. BoP episode? dunno what that is.
