I'm just gonna come right out and say my thoughts: Multiversus' currently revealed roster is boring as hell. Too much DC, an OC, all the CN focus is on new and not legacy stuff, SU doesn't need two characters on a cramped roster, and only Bugs for Looney Tunes is weird.

If I were picking the current lineup revealed, I think i would've made it more interesting with these picks.
1. Bugs
2. Daffy
3. Superman
4. Batman
5. Wonder Woman
6. Samurai Jack
7. Ben 10
8. Finn & Jake (as one swapping character)
9. Garnet
10. Arya
11. Rick
12. Gandalf
13. Shaggy
14. Tom & Jerry

I'm like you. In some defense of the game tho, Daffy is seemly being treated like Luigi and will see a later reveal. Superman and Tom & Jerry does absolutely nothing for me. The hype of the game really stems from what the roster potential for newcomers. I'm positive we will see more classic Cartoon Cartoon/Network representation going onwards, Samurai Jack, etc.

I'm hoping for OG Teen Titans representation since its the more intriguing side of DC as far as my opinion. Adult DC is stale.

Alright, I built a roster I think would be about the perfect dream starting roster for the game. I tried to balance it into 3 or 4 characters per "category," with the categories being "Looney Tunes," "DC Comics," "Legacy CN," "Modern CN," "Hannah-Barbera," "Adult Swim," "Live-Action Films," and "Miscellaneous." Due to the presumed higher budget I went with a slightly larger roster than NASB. Note this is not a prediction, just how I would improve/modify the current revealed roster and who I'd add to the starting lineup.

1. Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)
2. Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes)
3. Taz (Looney Tunes)
4. Wile E. Coyote (Looney Tunes)
5. Wakko Warner (Animaniacs)
6. Superman (DC Comics)
7. Batman (DC Comics)
8. Wonder Woman (DC Comics)
9. Samurai Jack (Samurai Jack)
10. The Powerpuff Girls (The Powerpuff Girls)*
11. Ben Tennyson (Ben 10)**
12. Finn & Jake (Adventure Time)
13. Garnet (Steven Universe)
14. Nicole Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball)
15. Fred Flintstone (The Flintstones)
16. Shaggy (Scooby-Doo)
17. Tom & Jerry (Tom & Jerry)
18. Rick Sanchez (Rick & Morty)
19. Robot Chicken (Robot Chicken)
20. Pibby (Learning with Pibby: Apocolypse)
21. Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)
22. Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)
23. Max Rockatansky (Mad Max)
24. Neo (The Matrix)
25. Gandalf the Gray (Lord of the Rings)
26. Harry Potter (Harry Potter)
27. Ruby Rose (RWBY)
28. Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
29. Reindog

*As alternate skins since they basically have the same powers and shape.
**Ben can transform into Fourarms, Cannonbolt, and XLR8 with his down special, having more limited but still different movesets.

Finn and Jake are two separate characters and would leave you at an even number

If you count Ben's aliens as seperate then it's also even. Also those two are kinda inseparable to my idk it feels weird to not have them be a duo, and inivision them being a swapping character anyway so shrug

Anyone have ideas for support characters? The devs seem to be struggling with them, as evidenced by Reindog.

Harry I feel could be a good supporter being that his spells would be a sniper style and that he could have some spells that heal/repair stuff

I don't think Reindog is added because they had a hard time with support characters. It's more likely that they were going to add an original character anyway, which is not rare at all for crossover games, and they just made him fit into a class that doesn't have many characters in the beginning roster.

Keep in mind that tanks also only have one character so far.

With that out of the way, I think there's a good amount of potential when it comes to supporting characters, like Raven from Teen Titans, Maxwell from Scribblenauts, Chowder, or Looney Tunes' Granny.

Not really. Finn and Jake have been separate in things before including the show. They massively benefit from being separate as their unique abilities can shine. Jake wouldn't get to fully use his stretching powers if he was slapped with Finn.

That's why I was saying they should be a swapping thing like Pythra or Zelda/Sheik

It's a tag team game that is built around having characters be separated. This doesn't have gameplay like Smash, so there's no reason the roster should be beholden to Smash rules.
especially when smash isnt either
