    OG Freddy. I don't think any other option comes close.

    A human Freddy sounds so epic.

    Englund Freddy, New Nightmare Freddy, Super Freddy, NES Freddy, Blighted Freddy

    In that order

    btw, tried to look up "Anniversary Freddy" and he just looks the same as normal Freddy, unless you're talking about something other than an action figure.


    I actually LIKE the Nightmare remake, and in some ways prefer it to the original, but let's be real… It's not what we immediately think of when we talk about the "Original Man of your Dreams"

    OG Freddy all the way, should have been him instead of remake Freddy.

    Apparently, New Line Cinema failed to understand that Dead By Daylight was a video game and mistook it for some movie tie-in merchandise. Because of this New Line Cinema kept saying it only made sense to promote the newest movie, and Englund wasn't in it, Behavior kept going back and forth and when NLC still didn't get it they went "Okay fine, we'll just take remake Freddy", fearing that it was this or nothing.

    At least that's how I heard it.

    Basically, New Line (who went defunct in 2008 and was absorbed into one of Warner Bros' subsidiaries, so now it's Warner Bros that owns the IP) only uses Remake Freddy with video game related things, happened with both Mortal Kombat and Dead by Daylight so far.

    With DBD specifically, bhvr were originally denied the IP, however Warner Bros changed their minds later and offered them the remake, when bhvr asked for the original, Warner Bros told them that they themselves weren't ready to offer that one and that the remake was all that they were willing to offer bhvr and that it was a take it or leave it offer.

    Of course that was all 2 years prior to the Wes Craven estate re-obtaining the rights to the US Parr of the IP with Warner Bros still retaining the international part of the IP, so if BHVR hadn't obtained the IP prior and decided to do it now, chances are that they would be more unlikely to succeed in obtaining the IP.

    Why wouldn't Wes Craven's estate wanna play ball?

    It's not Wes Craven's estate that wouldn't play ball, in fact they were looking for new outfits for freddy at one point as well as continuing the original movies, it's specifically Warner Bros that doesn't wanna play ball because they are notorious when it comes to lending their IPs out, as well as being stingy about it.

    They are more willing to let companies under their own umbrella use their IPs than they are in allowing companies outside their umbrella in using their IPs.

    nod

    I hope Warner Bros. gets with the heckin' program and realizes giving Freddy more stuff for DBD can only be a net-win for everybody.

    Heck I hope they're willing to lend out their other licenses, a DC Universe chapter with The Joker as a killer… Not sure who the survivor would be

    "BATMAN!" I hear you shout, but Batman has good chances going hand-to-hand with Uber Jason, he's not running and hiding from the Joker.

    Considering that both Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Toxic Avenger & Friday the 13th have had some type of collaborative effort where they branch out to different things, it's not unrealistic to assume that the ANOES IP itself will have some type of similar thing going for it since nostalgia sells and companies loves money. However until then, what we have is what we're gonna get.

    Also with the exception of specifically Solomon Grundy & Swamp Thing, i'm completely against any DC or Marvel chapters in general, as well as against characters like Homelander from The Boys

    Homelander's pretty much the only thing wearing a cape that I'd want in DBD, as he's geniunely one of the only characters from modern media I geniunely find horrifying, and I doubt he's showing up since The Boys is ending after season 5.

    I think you're right, eventually whoever holds the license will realize that by limiting Freddy so much they're only passing up free money.

    I'd love to see a Killer Klown or Toxie come to DBD, maybe the former can be a skin for Clown and the latter could be his parallel universe counterpart Noxious Offender… or write some lore about how Toxie's Tromatons have been hijacked by the Entity so now they compel him to kill Survivors instead of Evil Doers

    I pretty much agree with your statements on Marvel and DC, I'd be open to a character for that, but they'd need to be gritty and edgy. I mean Heath Ledger Joker levels of dark… Joker's been portrayed as a mass murderer with a clown motif before, so I think he could work.

    I actually cringed when my boyfriend and I were playing the game the other night and he actually wanted Deadpool to be a killer…

    Getting back to Freddy, I just want him to swear the right color sweater…
