If you could list between 10-20 of DC character for this martial arts tournament, who would they be?

Fuck, made this post in the wrong thread.
Tommy J should probably be in there. He flawlessly wrecked Bane.

Dragon just doing well against Shiva is putting it lightly. He was literally a step away from winning.
And I actually enjoyed the series despite the fact that it f###ed up continuity. It isn't canon anyway, but you could still feel for Dragon, and the fight scenes were excellent.

I'm rather surprised Dragon has so few appearances overall. You'd expect DC would be all over the character in order to promote him and make him a major player of the DC martial arts scene once more.

I know. Turner and Shiva get a lot of appearances, but not Dragon. Makes no sense. Only minor roles in 52. Someone should bring him into the martial arts seen. Or if not cameo in someone's books. They could easily introduce a epic martial arts arc. Possible take place through, Birds of Prey, Batman books and maybe Green Arrow and Secret Six.

Funnily enough, Dixon did something quite similar with "Brotherhood of the Fist". It was a crossover between Detective Comics, Nightwing, Green Arrow, and Robin, and ended up with a grand fight between Shiva and Connor Hawke.
I do agree a martial arts arc would be amazing if done right, though. With the inclusion of all the big names.

Yeah, I read Brotherhood of the Fist. It made me take more of a look at Connor Hawke. I wanted to read Dragon Blood after reading that. He did quite well against Shiva. I initially thought he would get beat up right away. Last time I ever underestimated him. But I still haven't read a lot of his Green Arrow books. Over the summer I'll try too. Get more info on Drakon in the process. To check if he is up there with Cass' Cain's speed.

Drakon is privileged, considering he has excellent feats in just a handful of appearances and has avoided exposure to other writers that could potentially tone down the character.
Cassie has bullet dodging feats, Drakon has arrow catching feats. That about sums it up. But it is the fact that Cassie has feats of dodging bullets after they've been fired and they are within inches to her head, and Drakon has feats of snatching dozens of arrows from multiple angles out of the air that makes it hard to determine who is faster.
I intend to take a look on Connor Hawke, too. Drakon is the only guy who has punked him, he's been excellent everywhere else.

Bad writing stemming from an era when Bane was running on venom for no reason.Tommy Jagger going by his showings against Bane and Katana should be on the top of the mountain.I call bullcrap on that one.

Rebellion era Luke Skywalker vs Darth Maul
Boba Fett vs Taskmaster
Deadshot vs Bullseye
Naga Sadow vs Lex Luthor in a strategic stand-off.
Wolverine vs Catman (Just so I can see Catman get wrecked. ;D )
Lizard vs Huntress (Again, just so I can see one of Simone's characters die as retribution for her favoritism with them.)
Doctor Fate vs Magneto
Darth Sidious vs Naga Sadow in a challenge of Sith magic.

@ Silver - Insanely hot girls are the Lizard's kryptonite, the guy has been punked twice by the Black Cat (somehow...), so Huntress would likely take him down with a kick or something.
Despite the fact that Spider-Man has never been able to beat him/subdue him physically.

I remember read somewhere that Drakon doesn't kill people because people don't pay him enough. So you could take that as he holds back in fights. He has been motivated by revenge without money being involved, and has killed others for disrespecting him. Also, he has produced significant injuries to others during combat that could have been fatal, so I'm not sure if he holds back, or not. But it's early in the morning here, and my memory is hazy.

Terry McGinnis vs Bruce Wayne both in Batsuits, and in their prime.
