Why don't Batman and the Outsiders exist as a team in the DCUO? They had some cool costumes, especially Katana; and some cool villains. The Masters of Disaster, The Force of July, The Nuclear Family and Kobra (with a "K"). It would be kinda cool to see a world where they were still a team.
Because they suuuuuuck.... I'm just kidding with you. Actually, I would love to see the Legion of Super Heroes in game. They could also make the 31st Century as a new open world environment. (Just don't make it based on either Gotham or Metropolis)
DCUO exists as its own canon and may take some comic stories and shift it into DCUO Lore. Not every story we get will come straight from the comics. Its not to say this story in some form may come down the road but only time will tell.
Pick the styles you like and post them in the Dev sections where they are asking for idea's on what styles you want to see next.
Batman does exist in DCUO. He's the Tech Mentor, and he has so many skins in Legends. As for the Outsiders, the DCUO Wiki has an article on them, so they probably exist. They don't have a major role.
What the game really needs is Section 8. #DogwelderForever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_8_(comics)
Kobra is one of the bigger missed opportunities in the game so far. Like Darkseid, Kobra has a built-in army that would provide the adds. Probably the best way to tie into Kobra right now would be an adaptation of the Leviathan story running through the Superman series (and then into its own series “Event Leviathan”). Leviathan was taking out all of the other big organizations that could oppose it, and Kobra could be included in that. An Event Leviathan episode could also use a lot of styles and elements already in the game - Checkmate, Argus, Task Force X and League of Assassins. The devs even have Checkmate styles they created but never used: “Event Leviathan” could be a good episode the more I think on it. Also an opportunity to visit some other good characters. Only click the link if you don’t mind spoilers.
I'd be happy if we were asked which characters and/or story arcs we would like to see next, instead of which styles and base items we'd like to see next.
