Okay, playable characters, all 10 and two halves of them, plus 4 dlc.
 * Nightwing:
 * First off: Dick, it's a box.
 * Sort of a troll, with grapple action and taser stun. Dissapointed with his damage, though.


 * Superboy:
 * Good for damage. Not as much of a tank as I'd hoped.


 * Aqualad:
 * Haven't played with him much, but I don't like him. Waterbearers are cool, but his applications limited. The water beam is nice, but doesn't seem very effective.


 * Miss Martian:
 * You need heals (unless you cheat :D). Psychic knockback is nice; definitely better damage than Nightwing. Pointless to keep on board after Zatanna unlocks, unless you really want a flyer.
 * What kinda bugged me is that I would've loved it if she was actually hurt by fire more than the other characters.


 * Artemis:
 * Her crossbow sees more action than it's had on two seasons and 25 issues.
 * Good for range, but pointless because the others rush in anyway.


 * Kid Flash:
 * I'm never too fond of characters that require movement for special attacks. He's totally non-ranged. Though I'll admit, his bowling run is nice. I prefer Lagoon Boy's, Robin's and Blue Beetle's, though.


 * Beast Boy:
 * Haven't had the pleasure.


 * Zatanna:
 * Good damage in the fireball, plus troll and heal powers. A keeper.
 * Easy spells. Though I don't know why she doesn't say power #3 backwards.


 * Tempest:
 * Like his attacks, though not happy with the damage. On the plus side, it does affect more than one enemy.
 * Hoist by my own petard: playing with a trainer means unlimited mana - which means he'll use the water beam a lot, for a long period of time. It's murder on the ears.


 * Robin:
 * Oh boy I like him. His bo action is awesome. The forward rush makes short work of Spider bots, usually taking out two in one go.
 * He does seem to have the weakest batarang, though.
 * His powers seem slightly out of character. I didn't see him barreling into action in Invasion.


 * Rocket
 * I don't like her. She's missing the purple glow when she flies, and her attacks aren't that impressive. The big one, the ball of kinetic energy, is difficult to steer, if at all, and hardly does damage.


 * Batgirl
 * What's with the giant Batarang?
 * Very similar in loadout to Dick. Though I like the variation in batrope action.


 * Bumblebee:
 * Not much damage. Not much else.


 * Lagoon Boy:
 * Damn, I like this guy. All his powers are puffermode. Smash, bowl run, and belly flop.


 * Blue Beetle:
 * The staples are back. They don't do much, though. I prefer the chest cannon.


 * Wonder Girl:
 * Her grapple action isn't quite as effective as Nightwing's.
 * I like the power stamp. Just wish they animated it differently, switch feet now and then.
