1) Play outdoors and play Earthquake!
2) Phasing figures (Lockjaw or Phasing flyers [Darkseid, anyone?])
3) Lots of low cost 3 damage for Barrier busting, preferably with unstoppable
One strategy is to just keep on pummeling through with Unstoppable chargers and drilling trough. You're bound to take hits, and it's going to be a real bore, but it can work. R Sunspot with a Perplexer can be great for this, since he has WP.
The aforementioned Smoke Cloud can be a good Barrier blocker.
My advice? Meet rolling barrier with Lockjaw and Ghost Widow cheese. Phase in, poison and hurt things, use a guy like Icons Joker for Mastermind annoyance, and force your opponent to face dirty.

Feb 2015: JL Trinity War has have given us the CSA, playable and together. Twice. ROCK ON!
REClixed: Justice for Dmitri Pushkin (your sacrifice will not be forgotten)! New generic Rocket Red @50-75 points while we're at it? Still no 19DV Defender? (WoS Groot doesn't count)

Seconding the notion of choosing an outdoor map if you win the roll. You can fly right over barriers and use HSS or RS to get past barriers. Also, since your opponent spends so much of his team on barrier figs, he has little else.
Pick 3 damage figs and/or figs with Unstoppable to bash down strategic parts of the walls and try to base your opponent on a non-diagonal (as he'll likely take advantage of diagonals to keep you separated from him).
Place your 3 objects in areas you think he'll choose to bottleneck with his barriers. Even if he destroys the objects, they'll remain as hindering terrain, so he won't be able to barrier on those spots.
Nope...Barrier tokens are blocking terrain and stop PW. Ignoring Barrier does not mean the Barrier tokens are ignored. I know that's a little weird to wrap the brain around since a Perplexer that modifies a friendly PWer caught in its teammate's PW would cause the Perplex to be ignored.
I have to second the advice of outdoor maps and Joker/Lockjaw. Just make CERTAIN Joker is not placed in such a way that a barrier could break his adjacency to Lockjaw.
And kudos to the team, but I think this would be even nastier:
111 - GLC E Tomar Re
_25 - V HIVE Trooper
_33 - CD R Icemadien
_40 - CD R Captain Cold
_54 - IC R Raven
_36 - SS R Paste Pot Pete
I thought about unstoppable figs as well. Skrull Warriors are some nice cheap ones. Better yet would be free movers. the knock down the barriers and aflying charger goes through.
