That Powergirl/ Huntress match-up was tough. I just wish we knew which Huntress it was. Helena Wayne would get my vote in this match-up but If it were Helena Bertinelli I would have voted for PeeGee.

The era of the Crime syndicate members would have influenced my vote as well. I prefer the SA CSA over the MA CSA.

I do want to thank you for the work you put in on this. It was/is fun and I'm looking forward to the results.

Yeah Huntress/Powergirl was tough. Ultimatley I voted for Huntress since I want as many Batman and Birds of Prey characters as possible. I was curious why three members of Crime Syndicate showed up but there wasn't a Power Ring or Johnny Quick. I'd love to have all of the Earth-3 villains.

Agreed on the character-specific; I should have really clarified which version of Huntress, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Phantom Lady, Trickster, etc. That has really thrown some people off.

In regards to Power Ring and Johnny Quick, it was due to available slots. In a perfect world I'd have twice as many possible characters but it was pretty complicated as-is. This may be something we look at in the future, because there were many great characters that missed the cut - Legion, Metal Men, Rip Hunter, Mera, classic Black Lightning, Atomic Knight, Sargon, B'wana Beast, Calculator, Dr. Phosphorus, Signalman...just to name a few.

Not a perfect poll by any means, but definitely a fun work-in-progress. Wink

I think for the most part the character options were great.

There were a few 'vs.' I had to think twice on, but that's what makes it fun. Also, nice job on the rehaul...esp. on the accessibility of the character's poll. I'm constantly looking at those lol.

I have one request for DCUC Dick Grayson Robin... GIVE THE BOY SOME PANTS! Now I know he didn't sport the drake look ever in the comics however as someone who has grown up on B:TAS to me Dick Grayson looks like this

GA Hourman vs. GA Starman was tough for me. I'm a huge Starman fan, but felt that every attempt so far at an Hourman figure has been a huge disappointment, so I ultimately chose Rex Tyler... I had lots of fun choosing, though.

yeah I gotta agree, I want a 4H Dick Grayson Robin in his classic costume, and then hopefully a Tim Drake Robin in his original costume later down the road.

J'onn vs. Kyle was a tough one for me since I am a big fan of Grant Morrison's lineup. I voted for J'onn as we already have one GL (2 counting Abin Sur) and I think ultimately J'onn is more necessary in a collection than Kyle.

Zauriel vs. Ice was tough too but my love for JLI ultimately trumped my love for Morrison's league. I just hope we ultimately get all of these great characters. Every time I think we might not get one, I just think: Killer Moth, and then realize anything is possible.

Dude, where is ORACLE!? Surprised

I seriously want my birds of prey.

And awesome work on the new poll format, this looks to be a pretty good way to get some solid results. I look forward to seeing the final selection. Wink

In addition to some hard choices, there were also a few "I don't care if they never make either of these".

I think each round will get harder.
