Who will win?
>>150215464Starro
>Harley is going to beat both Rex and either Zee or Barda because she's Harley
>>150215464>Damian>Batman>Harley>Starro/BatwomanThe more Jason wins, the more pathetic he becomes when he loses.
>>150215464Captain Atom and Power Girl could be a good fight, but we already know that Captain Atom will win and lose in the next round to Superman.
>>150215464
>>150215464does Batman get prep time?
>>150216000>wonder woman winning
>>150215464Lex won't lose in the first round, which leaves only Cyborg as the Black representative. Will they make him beat a lesbian woman?Damian and Jason, we're rooting for both of them to die.
>>150216000No notes
>>150216000You just had Superman facing his harem. That's not going to happen. Captain Atom defeats Power Girl, Lex defeats Supergirl in the second round. Damian won't lose to Flo Hood. The co-writer is Williamson.
>>150216032Batman just got a BOLD NEW DIRECTION relaunchSuperman doesn't need oneIt's time for another whacky Wonder Woman run by Tom King that CHANGES THINGS FOREVER until a new writer comes in
>Superman will roll over Giganta for an easy round 1 victory>On one hand, DC loves jobbing out Atom. On the other, eliminating power girls gives him hype so Superman eliminating him looks more impressive.>Aquaman could literally just LTG King Shark>Batman is gonna refuse to eliminate Jason/Damian and be eliminated that way. Letting them keep his BatGod status while not having him win the whole thing
>>150215464>not a single TitanTTbros... I thought our franchise was the biggest after batman
>>150216751Cyborg is there.
>>150216179Yes but Snyder said DC ko is Superman's event like how death metal was Diana's and metal was bruces
>>150215464>cheetah vs jayAt last, some recognition that Cheetah is speedster-level?
I'm having a tough time with this one because its not just about what makes sense, but writer favoritism and what they can sell for covers I got this far, but I question Lex winning because we've done God Lex already. Any thoughts on my choices thus far?
>>150217015I think Captain Atom might beat Power Girl. He's hyped up to be Superman many times and that would give him some hype for his jobbing.Also, one of the Robin's will eliminate Batman so he can be in his own mini.
>>150215464I can't wait for the bullshit reason Harley beats Metamorpho. I also like Connor Hawke and Hawkman being paired because they have Hawk in their name.
>>150215464I literally don't give a fuck, this roster is fucking terrible.
Supergirl has a movie coming out next year, so I feel like they will allow her to make it far.
>>150217053I dont think we'll have back to back Atom vs Kryptonian issues though
>>150215464This is a Superman event, but Superman really doesn't need the win.It's either Luthor or Supergirl going all the way. I went with Supergirl because I'd like to see a drag-out fight between the two strongest women in the DCU (sorry PeeGee).The rest of the booking is me channeling my inner Vince McMahon.Now ask me why I have Batman losing in the second.
>>150216000/co/mblr
>>150217523Because batman is getting his own tie I. Mini where he fights multiverse batman who used to be robins?
>>150217659I'm glad some people are thinking straight. The first two brackets posted have Batman getting to the third and 4th rounds.
>>150215464Even though Lobo is a meme/joke character, based on how writers have fan ficed him up power-level wise, he should easily solo everybody including non-universal empowered WW, which is what I assume is what she is even post Snyder's Metal Wank. But the right side will indubitably be Batgod. And we stick three Kryptonians on the left and depending on what genius is writing this, it will either be Clark with his only real competition being Luthor or one of the female Kryptonians, but it will either end up as Lex (by cheating) versus Bruce, or Supes versus Batgod.Sad and very Low Effort to quote a certain Orange Deity.
The thing is, we know Batman will drop out of the tournament so he can go beat up the future versions of his sons in Knightmatch.So I wonder if Jason will job to Damian or if he will stick around until the end to shill the tranny book
>>150215464The answer is always Superman because it pisses you off.Also Death Battle threads should be banned and banished to /trash/.
>>150215464Wonder Woman was the big dick of Death Metal and clark will be the big dick of the next darkseid thing so Batman will win this.
>>150217011>thinking DC gives a shit about WW's rogues, especially Cheetah LOLit's going to start with Cheetah claiming that this is going to be easy and Jay's just an old faggot only for Jay to kick her ass with ease telling her to "respect her elders" or some shit so casuals can eat it up and make 300 TikToks about how "you should respect Jay Garrick". her "speedster-level" speed isn't going to be acknowledged, they'll just acknowledge she's fast just so Jay can kick her ass and show her she's not on the same level as he is
>>150217015Honestly, Lex feels like the one that makes the most sense just based on a storytelling perspective. It's really either him, Superman, or Batman - but Superman or Batman would be too obvious. Lex is on the same level of importance as them in DC, he can feasibly make it to the end, and he got a boost after the Superman movie.
Wonder Woman officially, but Superman will beat the big bad while everyone's distracted on something else
>>150218085What if Power Girl takes it, and she gets an Omega symbol where her cleavage is?
Superman wins, leading to yet another confrontation against Darkseid. He'll be positioned as the Big Good of the main universe to Darkseid's Big Bad of the Absolute universe. So metaI'd like to see my girl go far, but I unfortunately don't see Peej going past Atom or Supes. The roster and bracket are picked and arranged so that fodder gets eliminated early and used as stepping stones for "hype" matches between the bigger draws. Wouldn't be surprised if this somehow leads to her getting shelved
>>150215464Are they really setting up Superman v Batman lol
>>150215464going for the hard read on DC editorial
>>150217960This is the darkseid thing.
>>150218552Nah this will be the pre darkseid thing, dont fall for it
>>150217015>Connor beating Hawkman???
>>150218532>when Metamorpho turns into gas to knock Harley out but she starts farting
>>150218581The whole thing is getting darkseid energy to be his new avatar on earth-prime.
>>150218532These are 1v1 fights anon.
>>150218641everything here is 1-on-1, "intervention" means help from before or outside the fight somehow
>>150218629You're falling for it anon
>>150215464What counts as a win? Neither Lobo nor Plastic Man could kill each other but it would probably take Plastic Man longer to reform.
>>150215956Captain Atom is one of the few people on that roster that would stand a chance against Superman due to kryptonite radiation
No Billy?
>>150216000This is both the least interesting and the most likely outcome of this event.
I think this would make for some good stories
>>150215464>6 bat characters out of 32Grim
>>150215464>lobo vs plastic manA never ending battle.
>>150215464Anybody who thinks this won't end in Superman vs Batman is on crack.
>>150215464>Wonder Woman vs. StarroMe. What if Starro controls WW and makes it to the semi-finals?
I was expecting a Power Girl vs. Supergirl match-up (and Supergirl wins with the meta implication that she's the "true" Kara)
>>150221494You're insane thinking Bruce would be willing to kill his ONLY BIOLOGICAL son instead of letting his son kill him to move on
Guy? I'm surprised so see him there. No Hal or Kyle?
>>150215464DC shills have all but confirmed it was zatanna with how hard they were pushing that narrative on Twitter.
>>150216000You nailed DC.Let hope they don't be so lame.
This needs to stop
>>150223295Guy was just in a big Hollywood film. That's why Metamorpho is included too.
>>150218592Expect upsets. Connor is legitimately one of the top hand to hand fighters
Legitimately think Power Girl will take this whole thing given the bracketing. Supergirl is being pushed into next year thanks to the DCU movie, but with Power Girl it's a way to make big changes but without changing Kara's image. So it's a win by association. Plus Power Girl is one of the rare characters who meta speaking, is pretty much untouched by the last few Crisis events and remembers shit from before New 52. Also have to consider giving Power Girl the Omega may be a way of giving her a logo and possibly new name.
>>150217793The lobo fan fiction by his creator?
>>150224535>Legitimately think Power Girl will take this whole thingI wish I could be this delusional about my favorite D-listers.
Harley shouldn't even be here
>>150215682I would be astonished if Barda even makes it out of the first round, they fucking hate New Genesis.
>>150217215The only acceptable Harley win is Harley pulling out a bag of money so that Metamorpho just throws in the towel and goes home.
>>150224654I don't expect a big name like Batman or Superman to get it. Remember when fucking Nightwing of all people got godlike power? Can't be Wonder Woman, because we already did that in Death Metal.You have to remember, this isn't about who logically should win, it's about what story they want and several other meta factors. Like for example there's no way in hell Harley should beat Metamorpho, yet I fully expect her to.
>>150218085I really hate that both readers and writers are determining who wins based on "character importance" in such a way that the non-powered people have a legitimately better chance than actual gods and superhumans. And it's not even inaccurate, like folks in this thread said Harley is definitely winning at least one round. It just fucking sucks this is where we're hat.I'm not sure if it would be better or worse if it was Joker instead of Harley desu.>>150223221And you're insane for thinking Batman wouldn't cheat the competition to keep Damian alive while getting the Omega energy with preptime. I mean does anyone seriously think this tournament will work as planned?
>>150224769>it's about what story they want and several other meta factorsYou just explained the exact reason Power Girl won't win this, they don't want to fucking do anything with her. You want a bleak truth bomb? HARLEY is a strong contender for winning the whole thing, simply because they can use that to justify the Trinity becoming a Quartet so they can continue spamming her everywhere.
>>150218532>Kryptonite radiationOnly Kryptonite from Power Girl's universe can affect her. Then again, considering>going for the hard read on DC editorialI don't expect DC to remember that
>>150224726Barda is gonna lose because how the fuck would Harley even beat her. At least Zee has the 'chop her in the throat' strat.>>150224769I think Scott said this is a Superman focused event, so I think it's safe to assume he gets to the grand finals at the very least.,
>>150224820>You just explained the exact reason Power Girl won't win thisI already did in an earlier post.>HARLEY is a strong contender for winning the whole thingNot really, not these days. She's still a pull, but not pushed as hard as a few years ago.>>150225075Power Girl is Superfamily. Theoretically Clark SHOULD be in the finals but again I'm expecting upsets
>>150225107Superfamily=/=SupermanBatman being eliminated early is going to be the surprise upset.
>>150225107>SuperfamilyYou say that like it means anything anymore.>earlier postThe fact that you think DC would walk back on her logo/name for any reason is pure and utter cope, they're ride or die with that shit.
>>150225235>You say that like it means anything anymore.What world do you live in? Honestly.
>>150215464Can't wait for Harley to win in the most abysmal, bullshit, unentertaining way possible.
>>150215464>Superman and Batman conveniently on opposite sides of the bracketLemme take a wild guess
>>150225426The world where fucking Kpop Demon Hunters matter more than whatever Superman is doing outside of the increasingly shrill and insecure capefag fandom. The real one. >>150225460Same, bonus points if it's with a fart. You know, as an "ironic" callback.
>>150225494>The world where fucking Kpop Demon Hunters matter more than whatever Superman is doingWhat an out of pocket thing to say. Are you just saying random shit now?
>>150225820>out of pocketI'm going to be here on /co/ laughing at you when Peej inevitably loses.
>>150225859I'm not saying for absolute certainty that she'll win. Cool your autism
Calling it: Starro mind controls Wonder-Woman in secret and lets her "win", and she becomes incredibly brutal as the tournament goes on due to Starro's mind control, until the final fight where she gets defeated by superman or whoever the fuck
>>150226047Looks to be like a popularity contest more than anything else.
>>150226445Kinda hard to control her in secret when she's got a fucking starfish on her face. Also wouldn't the lasso of truth eventually break the mind control?
>>150226685Starro can latch on anywhere and it'll work i think, he did that to superman for years one time (different canon but it still means it's something pre-established and feasible for him)
>>150226707Where would he hide on Wonder Woman? On her fucking ass?
>>150226994Back of her head, under her hair.Under her gauntlets if he's really squishyInside her mouth or lungs
>>150226707Anon you're using two different canons....
>>150227202Kryptonite originated from the fucking radio show, all that matters is that the idea's out there and it's been out there floating in people's heads and that includes the writers.
>>150227266Anon for fuck sake you're retarded. Yes things from adaptations occasionally work their way into main canon, but this ability of Starro has never been established in mainline comics. It's pretty fucking simple how he works>Starro spores attach to face>Starro controls the hostWhat you're pointing out isn't evidence, it's just an unrelated exception to the rule unless stated otherwise. Until then, just assume it won't happen
>>150215464Superman or wonder woman
>>150225107>Power Girl is SuperfamilyWell, yes, but she doesn't enjoy the privilege or prestige of being a part of the Superfamily like the more immediate members like Supergirl, Superboy, et al. do. Even when DC pushed her as a purely Superfamily character first and foremost, she was still neglected. DC will always prioritize the rest of the Superfamily over someone who they perceive to be as just a spare. That being said...>>150224820>they don't want to fucking do anything with her...if PG does win, DC could potentially push her into the background and out of the spotlight precisely so they can ignore her and don't have to do anything with her until they have to.
>>150216000>Wonder Woman beating Starrokek she's going to become a Starro slut
>Superman vs Giganto the fuck is this bracketing? Go off the wall and have like Batman vs Superman at least
So does this mean everyone will have a weapon or item? What will Supergirl bring?
How do so many people have the only New God in the bracket losing round one?
>>150215464Why are there so many nobodies? Why have someone like Batwoman when Batgirl could have been used instead?
Superman is 100% reaching the final on his side, now the other side is more complicated but it will be between Harley and Batman
>>150226047This is probably how it would go.
>>150215464Swamp Thing clears everyone on the right outside of MAYBE Zatanna I guess. Superman obviously clears on the left.
>>150228878Cassfag copium. Kate is more well known than Cass.
>>150217015>Cyborg over fucking Swamp Thing???????????? Do you people now ANYTHING about Swamp Thing?
>>150228947Do you know ANYTHING about modern writers? You're coming at this all wrong. It's not about actual power or ability it's about the writers whim.
>>150228947I do, actually. Cyborg has a motherbox, he can just dump Swamp Thing on the other side of the universe, or in an alternate dimension, or whatever.Remember, this isn't Alec, it's the new kid.
>>150228944Not more well known than Barbara who is Batgirl.
>>150215464WHERE IS NIGHTWING??????????
We're getting Harley That Laughs aren't we
Finals will be Lex Luthor vs Harley QuinnLex will win
>>150229144Not being forced to job out in a Superman tournament event, thankfully.You'll get an alt-earth DickBats showing up in Knightfight.
>>150229503How is Nightwing losing in an event full of nuclear-level characters “jobbing”? Those characters losing to him would be that, not the other way around.
>>150226047>Starro in the final two despite losing to WWare you trying to imply Starro's going to hijack WW's body?
>>150226047If Starro wins the whole thing I will actually buy this in trade.
>>150215464If you got to choose who won this who would you pick?
>>150215956>and lose in the next round to Superman.Why? He's objectively stronger than Superman.
>>150232830I don't think he's stronger, but he can make red sun and maybe even kryptonite radiation, which is really useful against Superman.But let's be real anon, Atom these days mostly exists to job.
>>150215464Superman is the first fight? lol he's KOed for sure. Last page is Giganta with an upset probably from some retarded rule no one expected.
>Harley gets the Speed Force as her weaponOh, so that's how they're gonna give her the wins.Also, would Venom even help Lobo?
>>150234006As a steroid it shouldn't even work on a Czarnian, but whatever.
