Yep. I'd probably be a rich man if I had a dollar for every time I read a post claiming that a character would play just like another and then that character's gameplay is revealed and they're shown to have a different playstyle. It was the same with Green Lantern & Sinestro and Shazam & Black Adam. I even recall people saying that Black Manta would play like Aquaman. If I had to guess, this was because they saw a picture of the former holding a trident somewhere and from that assumed that he and the latter had similar powers.

And while this wasn't someone saying a character would play like another, when Joker was leaked for MK11, there was one person or two saying that he'd just have his Injustice moveset. And when he was revealed, he's shown to have a completely different moveset. Though I think he should have had the joy buzzer at least. It was a missed opportunity to not include it as it could have been used as a brutality with a reference to the 1989 Batman movie.

Yeah, it can be a little annoying at this point since NRS has more than proven to be conscious about making seemingly similar characters with their own unique play styles. And yet, you still see people saying with full confidence that Homelander is just going to be a re-skinned Superman with his moveset ripped straight from Injustice, which seems like a silly assumption to make, imo.

I've never watched The Boys, so I don't exactly know how he fights in that show. But I do know he's suppose to be the Superman expy and his eye lasers are a big part of his character. There's so much they could play around with that alone to make him an entirely unique character from Injustice's Superman.
