Any possibility for some type of acrobatic type of movement as a new movement power?
Kind of like what Sabertooth does when he runs.

Now I have a vision of cat girls doing cartwheels throughout Atlas Park...thank you.

Sabertooth is acrobatic?
I wouldn've have thought so, either. Maybe the Beast...

I think he's looking for something more like a feral pouncy run like Sabretooth kept doing in that terrible Origins movie.

The old ones need some spicing up. Instead of leaping over massive amounts of area while remaining motionless, add some different movements. I mean lets face it these travels are getting pretty out dated, we need something fresh to drop our jaws. I highly doubt new ones will come anytime soon, but who knows I've been wrong before. I just hope it's something that can be made custom for each player, meaning a grappling hook that can be switched for different types...a small vehicle that can be selected...etc, etc.
I totally want this, too.we deserve the ability to get increasingly freaky- deaky.how would we set it up so its not a clone of super jump? i just want less >ugh ugh< and more >pizzoww! wazzup!<
Some new (read NOT new powers using existing animations/sound effects) powers would be super, be they pools or sets!
Arc 185502: Who Killed Snow Globe? a mini mystery Put together the clues to solve the case!
Arc 22832: And Hell Hath No Fury (extreme)
Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?

Something that's kind of a cross between SS and SJ. I think DCU's version of acrobatic movement also includes clinging to and springing off of walls...

A Parkour/Free Running Travel Power would be as awesome as it is improbable. 
I will not rest until we have in-game throwable pies!
People have been demanding and not getting the ability to simply, walk. And now you're requesting new travel powers???
I think the big red ball and duel archery defense will come first.

Or Classic X-Men number 10, part b, in which he is the focus of the story but is never seen. (Except for his hands.) Although I guess that's more "being sneaky" than acrobatic. :/

At this point I'd be really happy if we could just Super Speed over water instead of through it.

Or be able to superspeed up walls, for that matter.

Well, I would design it similar to teleporting. You pick a spot, any spot, within 10 yards and you jump to that location automatically. You then have like 3 seconds to pick and move to a new spot. If not, then you fall down to ground level if you jumped to the side of a wall or the ceiling of a hallway.
The movement would be click intensive but TP is like that now....but this would probably be even more intensive but much cooler!!
I recommend this way as it is already coded ingame with TP. They just have to shorten the distance and add the jumping and clinging animations....should be easy enough....I think.

And, to bring up one of Positron's arguments concerning new transport powers, how would it differ markedly from Teleport or Leaping as they already exist in game? You could easily just take Teleport if you want a movement style like this, and it wouldn't require a vast load of new animations to go along with it.
One of the big reasons that Teleport is so unpopular is that it is very high maintenance for a travel power. You'd be making a travel power that is simply slower and just as high maintenance. The only "advantage" is that it would look slightly fancier, but I doubt that will keep people interested for long, especially if it can't compete mathematically and functionally with the existing transport powers.

Not everything you see in every new movie is a good idea to implement in-game.
Storm Summoning is great because it makes you better than everyone else in the game. - Camma
Knockback is mitigation. It won't be removed just because meleers ***** and moan. - Chaos Creator
Yanno, it would be pretty awesome to just make the flyposes selectable. So I could fly anywhere all Supes style withut having to type the emote or make a macro.

This. Then SS over water and up walls. Then maybe think about adding new travel powers.
This is more related to the subject then the OP, but I've always felt like superjump and combat jumping should do a front flip at the peak of thier leap.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
