Yeah, I'm about to dump a nerdy DC fanboy rant...
Overhyped garbage. A stain on characters such as Batman and Superman. An absolute disgrace of an interpretation of beloved DC characters hyped up because of decent gameplay mechanics. The plot reads like some misinformed fanfic, creating the cringiest stereotypes of DC characters, introducing the most overused tropes and single handedly contributing to almost unrepairable damage of Batman and Superman alike.
Yeah, I know what I sound like... I love Batman and the DC universe and seeing such a misrepresentation of these characters just fucking pisses me off. I hate it, I can't stand it. It doesn't help that the creator is a coked up Batfleck stan who doesn't understand any of the characters at all outside of the fact that he think's they're badass and completely misunderstands their concept.
As if it wasn't obvious enough, this game is a real stinker. People only like it because the gameplay is fun I assume, and that's good, if I cared about the gameplay I would have taken it to the end... but what made me stop caring in the first place was the narrative. It's absolute dog water and I just... words cannot describe how I hate these caveman interpretations of Batman. Don't even get me started on Superman just straight up killing Joker.
Pick up a comic book, understand the character before you make something like this. I don't give a fuck if it's an alternate universe, I'm so sick of these "what ifs?". It's not at the characters' core, it shouldn't even be a question to begin with. Honestly, I blame this game entirely for creating this overused evil Superman trope, a trope rooted in bullshit because Superman is honestly not even capable of the slightest cold hearted decision.
I really should get into the gameplay though instead of taking out my anger... and it's okay I guess. I mean, it's not that different really from any other NetherRealm title, it might be one of the less innovative really. Not sure what was going on with the cutscenes, some weird frame drops and bumfuck ugly costume designs. Multiplayer is most likely where it's at, but I'd probably get my ass kicked lmfao.
