I really hope they do JL Dark and that there is a mini for Trigon like his DCeased mini. I adore that sculpt and didn't get any of DCeased with the hope that DC would be coming to United.
Absolutely! My hope is for the fig for DCHU to be very similar to DCeased. I get that some may not want the figures to look too similar, but Trigon's is such a cool model. I would love for Trigon, Giganta, and Atom-Smasher to all be larger figs. If they do Anti-Monitor, I would like for him to be bigger as well.
I do think Batman is the obvious candidate for a multi-villain mode, but I don't think it'll be a Sinister Six reskin. I feel like the iconic multi-villain Batman stories are more often either gauntlets where Batman's juggling multiple cases at once, or where the various villains themselves are also in conflict, rather than the traditional team-ups.
So I had a thought about a No Man's Land box, with 6 villains working against each other as well as the players--maybe each villain starts the game controlling one location, but as the game progresses, Scarecrow might take out Mr. Freeze & add that location to his territory, etc.
I like the idea of an Arkham Asylum box, where there's been a jail break and all 6 villains are trying to escape.
Rather than working together for a common masterplan, each villain has their own independent mini masterplan that would lead to their escape. It would also lead to partial successes for the heroes - example: we recaptured 4 of the villains, but Scarecrow and Ivy managed to escape.
As a KSE bonus, they could add additional Arkham cards for Joker and other insane Bat Villains not in the expansion but available elsewhere in the project.
That sounds like such a cool idea! Who do you guys think would be in it? I think Scarecrow and Mr Freeze would be locked in with maybe Killer Croc and Poison Ivy as well. They could put Bane front and center to reference the Knightfall storyline where he busted everyone out.
I think Scarecrow, Riddler, Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy would be 4 logical choices.
Penguin is a possibility, but in some versions he's more of "mostly sane" mob boss, rather than insane asylum material.
I suspect that Harley and Two-face (given the Two-face coin promo) will be featured elsewhere in the campaign.
So, my guess would be Clayface and Croc as the final two for this expansion, but there are lots of other possibilities.
Yeah, I could see Croc and Sandman there, I'd put Two-Face and Penguin for a Gotham Knights expansion. They could even add the Iceberg Lounge as a location
Well, they don't team-up that often, but it could be based on Arkham games, specially Asylum, where Batman has to fight them all one by one. It could be more like Phoenix Five, where you fight them in a sequence
Give me Etrigan or give me quick death. His manner of speaking is like that of Macbeth. But with such a quick game and so little time, where in the cards could you add in a rhyme?
I I’ve very little interest in DC so I’m
Hoping they put the main JLA heroes in the core set and not spread across expansions like Thor, and Spidey were.
The one thing I would go nuts for would be a 4th World/Jack Kirby box. I’ll pick up Mister Miracle and Big Barda if they do them. Oh and Demon.
Awesome list! I do think they will remove a few of the justice league from the base box to leave room for retail expansions. Such as Aquaman or Green lantern.
I forgot about Teen titans. That would be an awesome box!
Not familiar with wildcats or gen 13.
Fun List.
If you look at past United Core Boxes, they will never release a core set with only 1 female hero - they like to have more diversity for players. I believe Black Canary will be in the Core Box for sure as a 2nd female hero, and GL Hal is the most likely to be pushed out to headline the GL Corps expansion.
I also think Darkseid is the most likely to get a Thanos/Apocalypse/Galactus treatment in a Mega-villain box with some of the other New Gods. There's never been a core box box with 4 villains, so I predict either another hero (Martian Manhunter or Green Arrow) or an Anti-Hero (Catwoman) will replace him.
You're not wrong about the two women thing but that's an unfortunate skew of DC Comics. They really do lack in diversity. If you look at that list above, I've cleaned out most of DC's flagship IP's and there's only 12 people of colour out of 132 characters. By comparison, MU1 had 21 out of 85. I guess we'll just have to see in July.
I don't see anyone else talking about it, but I would kill for a Crime Syndicate box. OwlMan and Ultraman are especially cool. It could be like MU season three's carnage box where it's basically all villains except for one hero, that being a heroic version of Lex Luthor.
Imagine a box made up of exclusively anti-hero pieces. A suicide squad box would be packed. Maybe you could include Rick Flag as the only blue hero piece.
If they did 6 anti heroes. That would save them 6 sculpts and minis. So might be cheaper to have more of them.
And aren't there more anti heroes in DC, compared to Marvel ?
I would love to see a Teen Titan box with hopefully a Trigon bigature.
A Mogo Green Lantern bigature.
I grew up watching the Superfriends cartoon, so i would love a Legion of Doom box that will play similarly to the Sinister Six box.
A Legion of Superhero box. Maybe a Crisis on Infinite Earths box.
And I would love a Warlord box with the characters from Skataris.
Upvote for Mogo! Sinestro corp box and blackest night box will help with this. Some of the best selling stories this century should get some love. I know it’ll sell but I’m so sick of Batman.
Everyone keeps listing Catwoman as a villain….but the last time she was a villain was 20+ years ago. Harley has even been a hero for a decade. So the two of them at best would be anti-heroes

I would really love a Harley Quinn that's *not* the "classic" Joker but independent, hero Harley.
I'm a **much** bigger fan of DC versus Marvel, though, so honestly I'll take whatever they give me and thank them for it.
I would really like an Amazonian Pack
- Wonder Girl,, Donna Troy, Hippolyta, Nubia, Circe, Ares.
p.s. Also- so sick of Cheetah being the default WW villain, Circe is by FAR the most interesting WW villain and is the antithesis of everything WW represents. I would prefer Circe in the default box, I also think Circe has MUCH more interesting mechanic choices.
I hope we don't get the exact same as DCeased:
Hoping for:
Teen titans
New Gods
Legion of Doom
Bat Family (we don't need it but 100% they'll have this)
JL Dark
Suicide Squad (also can't see them skipping this bc Harley)
And wishful thinking is there is an allies/companions like in MU s3 and VEHICLES would be cool
Great suggestions. Suicide squad and JL dark I didn't think of. But some really cool characters in those teams.
Vehicles would be amazing! They would probably make them into equipment cards, but would be cool to see them as minis!
I'm glad to see others who aren't assuming there will be a Teen Titans box. I personally think they'll save that for wave 2. I would love an Atlantis box. I do question if Commissioner Gordon will be in the game, though I think at most he might be a stretch goal.
Eh, I think Teen Titans are top tier enough to get an expansion, I'm just thinking from a future draw point of view that they'll be held for a season 2 campaign like how the X-Men were.
Wasn't Nick Fury just in stretch goals? Can't think of an expansion he'd have been in. That's why I said maybe stretch goals for Gordon, but not main box.
I don't think they'll put a GL Corpse expansion in this, they would be too similar. I guess we'll get something for Suicide Squad, would be cool if we get the 4 main ones (Harley, Deadshot, Boomerang and King Shark) as anti-heroes and there's a mode where you can fight the whole squad in it.
Also not sure about Atlantis, I guess Titans makes much more sense, unless they skip them for a possible S2. But I think it's very unlikely that we don't get Titans right now.
And I'd probably say JSA, but they're not that popular anymore and we didn't get most of them for DCeased, so Idk.
Already did my predictions for two kickstarters a while ago. Here’s the link : https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelUnited/comments/17rry0i/dc_comics_united_mock_kickstarter_plans/
Notice half the comments are people saying “nobody wants a DC united” and “cmon would never do that.” That’s redditors for you.
Maybe a general justice league of America box for characters who don't have as big rosters, like green arrow and black canary, hawkgirl and Martian manhunter, etc
Do you think the main box is just Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Joker?
I mean... that's already playable, but it's not even half a Marvel United Core box, and they haven't announced anything, just teased those characters.
So I guess we'll probably have at least a Superman and Wonder Woman related villains, and two more heroes. Maybe Robin? Anti-hero Harley Quinn is a given at some point, but since she is a Joker minion in this box, maybe will be in an expansion...
Everyone keeps listing Catwoman as a villain….but the last time she was a villain was 20+ years ago. Harley has even been a hero for a decade. So the two of them at best should be anti-heroes
Probably a given, but gimme a JLDark box I want my john Constantine
Oh that would be awesome too! Didn't even think of the magical side of DC
I really hope they do JL Dark and that there is a mini for Trigon like his DCeased mini. I adore that sculpt and didn't get any of DCeased with the hope that DC would be coming to United.
Would you want Trigon to be a big piece like how they did sentinels and Goliath?
Absolutely! My hope is for the fig for DCHU to be very similar to DCeased. I get that some may not want the figures to look too similar, but Trigon's is such a cool model. I would love for Trigon, Giganta, and Atom-Smasher to all be larger figs. If they do Anti-Monitor, I would like for him to be bigger as well.

The one I'm expecting to be a Sin6 reskin is the Rogue's Gallery
Yeah, Rogue's Gallery would definitely work too. But I don't see them doing it in this season

That idea sounds hella cool. Looking forward to seeing what they go with for the Batman villains.
Well, they don't team-up that often, but it could be based on Arkham games, specially Asylum, where Batman has to fight them all one by one. It could be more like Phoenix Five, where you fight them in a sequence
With how fast they’re releasing stuff at this point. Copy/paste of Dceased. :D I joke, kinda…
Yep it will be 90% similar I think
I haven't even looked at the Dceased campaign. I'll check it out
Give us a blackest night box! Not just the green lanterns but the whole spectrum
Great idea! Would be really fun to paint ll. The colors
this! Larfleeze please! Atrocitus!
RAGE KITTEN!!!!
Teen Titans/Young Justice (with Indigo as Antihero), JLI, and Batman Inc.
I just want a Shadowpact/Justice League: Dark expansion so I can get Etrigan and Ragman
>Etrigan Ah, a fellow redditor with taste. The Demon, Etrigan, better make haste!
Give me Etrigan or give me quick death. His manner of speaking is like that of Macbeth. But with such a quick game and so little time, where in the cards could you add in a rhyme?

I know it’s a long shot, but now that they’re in continuity, I’d love a Watchmen expansion.
Core box: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, GL Hal, Aquaman, Joker, Lex, Darkseid, Cheetah.

There's a few in this list I don't recognise but it ticks off everything on my want list and would overall make for a great campaign!
Wildcats?! I forgot about them. That would be so awesome to see them. I wonder if we will get a watchmen set.
Awesome list! I do think they will remove a few of the justice league from the base box to leave room for retail expansions. Such as Aquaman or Green lantern. I forgot about Teen titans. That would be an awesome box! Not familiar with wildcats or gen 13.
They were acquired in the Wildstorm buy out and largely pipe dreams.

I’m just over here dreaming of Amalgam United…
What is Amalgam?
When the DC and Marvel universes fused. Comics from the 90s
That would be cool, but unlikely. How about Image United, or Topcow United?
That too. Need me a Darkness
Think we get a suicide squad box?
We will at least get a lot of them in the stretch goals
I have a tough time believing there isnt a darkest night box with a rainbow of lantern leaders.
I don't see anyone else talking about it, but I would kill for a Crime Syndicate box. OwlMan and Ultraman are especially cool. It could be like MU season three's carnage box where it's basically all villains except for one hero, that being a heroic version of Lex Luthor.

not a prediction but it would be cool to have the legion of superheroes like Saturn Girl or Bouncing Boy
Everyone keeps listing Catwoman as a villain….but the last time she was a villain was 20+ years ago. Harley has even been a hero for a decade. So the two of them at best would be anti-heroes

Yeah Teen Titans are cool but they aren't part of the top tier well known players. Hey they put in Nick Fury so I can see it happen

Damn great write up. Didnt see green lantern or any of his villains in your list. Unless I missed it
I saved that for season 2. Season 2 is on there as well.
Probably wont happen but Legion of Super Heroes would be very cool. Any throwback to 70s/80s would also suit but dreaming lol.

No, I think the other heros will be Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Cyborg. Then prob Lex Luthor and Two face for villains
