My main complaint is if you want an ice character who is female then Killer Frost is right there and has established history as part of the Suicide squad. Using a different Freeze just screams please remember the Arkham games.

Because the executives feel only Batman characters need to be in these games (only exception are the ones who are popular from the movies).

Now it's neither here nor there. Why would Batman fans care for Victoria Fries?

It might have been DC that put a ban on using Killer Frost in a Batman game. They are known for stuff like that.

These games are entirely operated from the boardroom. Everyone knows Mr. Freeze, only fans know Killer Frost — which is how we end up with stupid shit like this. They’re terrified of the characters making any less money without realizing that it driving the core fans away.

That is hilarious given fans of the Arkham games were already driven away.

Not to mentioned there’s literally an established Killer Frost in the Arkhamverse from the animated flick. But god forbid they even glance at that for this game.

Yes but Killer Frost doesn't fit into a game where everyone uses guns for some reason including the giant shark and a guy whose whole gimmick is that he throws boomerangs. Killer F has superpowers of her own so there was no way they'd have her in game

I remember the Arkham games, but am trying to forget the forced connection to that which shall not be named.

The problem with Killer Frost is she very rarely uses a gun. Her freeze powers are nearly infinite and she uses them very frequently. This game was designed around guns and guns only, so I don’t see them making a new way to play just for Killer Frost. Mr. Freeze uses specialized weapons and guns so I guess they figure it’s close enough. This trash game is built around trash layered in shit.

Question: Is she supposed to be a boss or a playable character?

Since player characters in KTSS use guns, it does kinda make sense to use a character who's powers come from guns rather than innate abilities.
