Because they suck
>>
Because they don't need her?
>>
Taskmaster is a Marvel character anon
>>
Why should every character no matter how bland get introduced into main continuity? Just watch the movie again if you care that much.
>>
>>78473615
Because the comics continuity is a horrible mess.
>>
Because she's only good in Mask of the Phantasm, and that story's already been told.

Beyond that, as someone pointed out in the storytime thread earlier today, she's pretty much just Elektra.

Would you really want them in the comics? Much like the Batman line nobody in the GL line is allowed to be happy
>>
I think it would be cool to have her as just a former love interest, but there are so many women who have been in her position with Bruce in the comics (i.e. woman that Bruce nearly gives up his crusade to be with) that she isn't all too necessary.
>>
>>78473615
because they don't know how.
>>

This.
>>
Is the Reaper still around? 'Cause they already have that guy.
>>
>>78473615
Because she is based on a pre-existing DC character. It'd be redundant like introducing B&B Aquaman or Devil Ray.

Why would you want Noob Saibot to be a DC Character?
>>
>>78474599
When will the MK universe merge with the DC universe?. I know it already happened in MK vs DCU. But I'd like to see Scorpion being present in the DCU , or Mileena having a friendship with Joker's Daughter
>>
>>78474733
Because that is a stupid crossover that makes no sense. Mortal kombat makes more sense crossing over with marvel.
>>
>>78474783
But DC is edgy enough to accommodate MK. Marvel is fun and lighthearted.
>>
>>78474840
DC is full of nothing but god like characters. That isn't a bad thing at all, but having them crossover with extremely human characters is and will always be fucking stupid. Them crossing over with marvel makes more sense because they have actual counterparts there and it's far more even without having to resort to stupid bullshit like having magic make everyone be on equal footing. Seeing someone like baraka take on superman and winning just looks retarded, however, if he was facing wolverine, or raiden was against thor, shit just flows more easily. I don't even really like marvel, but a crossover with them just makes far more sense to me than it does with DC.

Snyder already did that. There was no difference between Red Hood One's personality and Joker's.
>>
/r/ the you know what image
>>
>>78474783
DC / MK should happen. Just like Marvel / Disney should had happened long time ago.
Captain America vs Mickey Mouse when?
Hulk vs Donald?
>>
>>78475356
So? Still not a confirmation.
>>
>>78474840

You got me. Good bait. I vocalized my displeasure for then to realize this subtle bait
>>
>>78473615
Because the only purpose for that character is to present the identity of said character as a mystery. Since the identity was revealed, theres no point.
>>
>>78475356
Did Snyder really think that was clever writing?
>>
>>78474344

Why would anyone give a fuck about people like Rubber Band man when Plastic Man exists?

Also Static Shock suffered greatly in the New 52
>>
>>78478728
Ebon wasn't Rubber Band Man.
>>
>>78478728
Rubber Band Man is evil Plastic Man, he could be a cool counterpart to him. Also, that's Ebon, who has a metric fuckton of potential as a major DC villain.
>>
>>78479381
Isn't he just evil Shadow Lass?
>>
>>78473615
They should bring her in but the twist is she is a clone of bat girl
>>
Technically she was. Mask of the phantasm is loosely based off of Batman Year 2, year of the reaper.

You know, the one really stupid arc where Batman and Joe chill team up, and Batman even runs around with the gun that shot his parents?
>>
>>78479408
More like an evil Obsidian/Plastic Man/Nightcrawler.

Because Phantasm is a shitty rip-off of Reaper from Batman Year Two, a god-awful story.

Also, Phantasm as a name already is in use in the DCU; Wolfman gave it to the unholy union of Raven's mom and Danny Chase, when they died and their ghosts irreversibly fused together.

>>78473615
Is this the only story where the Jokester's identity is revealed?

You mean improved. Year Two was awful see >>78479765 and also this image. How does he take the costume off?
>>
>>78478582
The sad thing is that the Red Hood Gang was a moderately decent idea.

The execution and Capullo being a cunt (seriously, he threw a huge crying and screaming temper tantrum over the idea of drawing a Red Hood Joker who's face was completely hooded and Snyder/DC had to cave and come up with the condom head mask that left the entire bottom half of Joker's face uncovered, to keep Capullo from quitting the book) ruined it.

I kind of hope/wish SOMEONE follows up on it, since the idea of Joker having an army of innocent civilian henchmen who are blackmailed with death and worse in order to force them to be his masked and anonymous henchmen is an interesting idea, especially since Snyder completely and utterly dropped the ball on WHAT HAPPENED TO the members of the gang who were blackmailed into joining, when they were caught and the gang ultimately shut down.
>>
>>78480510
Batman '89 also revealed his ID.
>>
>>78473615
um just saying but isn't all of the DCAU part of the new 52 universe as 2 different worlds? That by default makes her part of it. She's in both too, the future one and the past one.
>>
>>78480555
>How does he take the costume off?

Shoulder piece is separate, the rest is a sleeved overall type thing.

>>78480711
Earth-12 and -50 (or whatever world has the Justice Lords, I'm too lazy to check)

Because her story was already told and completely wrapped up. Bringing her back would just feel unnecessary.
>>
>>78480811
You'd think they'd have started using that design in the comics.
>>
Bruce is too much of a manslut in the main DC universe for her to work.
>>
>>78480612

The Red Hood Gang was SORT OF addressed in the Red Hood and the Outlaws Year Zero tie-in issue.

The RHG members who where full-on criminals/gangsters etc tried to get together after their leader/Joker fell in the acid, to regroup and select a new leader. Joker slaughtered the entire lot of them in a pique because he didn't like the idea of the gang continuing on if he wasn't the leader
>>
>>78481078
DCAU Bruce was bigger whore than the main DC Bruce.

Fucked his son's ex girlfriend/best friend's daughter. That's how much of a slut he was.

Sauce?

That just makes him a cuck fetishist not a whore, he was too afraid to even fuck WW

...You DO know who the Phantasm is based on, right? The Reaper from Batman Year Two.

Batman Beyond digital comic had a story arc i suppose.

he already has, the only difference is that in the movie version is his daughter the one who puts on the mask
