The Thread of Injustice

[zeptron]

Urgh, Spawn is so awful. I'll never understand why people care about that. And I was there for when he was big, too. Awful.

If there's a guest character, you know it's going to a MK character like Scorpion was in the first Injustice. They'll probably just do him again or do Sub-Zero. Watchmen characters wouldn't really be guests exactly, since they are owned by DC proper, but I get what people meant there. I'd personally really just have the real characters the Watchmen ones are based of myself: The Question instead of Rorschach, Captain Atom instead of Dr. Manhattan, etc. They could have Watchmen-esque alts.

Didn't Boon say that no character would ever be DLC twice?

Though considering the hard on he has for Scorpion, I can actually see him making an exception for him. I just think putting in MK characters whom we've already seen in many other games that have similar mechanics will be uninspiring and lazy choices.

 

[Tron Bonne]

They would, I agree, but MK is also more popular than ever. As lazy and uninspired as they are, they are also very safe choices. They're also characters already owned by WB so there's less hassle there in licensing and whatnot.

Boon loves Subs as much as Scorpion though or at least those two are his favorites, so if an MK character is almost a sure thing then I would assume Subs would pretty much be a given this time.

I kinda enjoyed the costumes from the first game. They looked overdesigned and weird... in a really cool way.

What new characters do we want to see?

Yeah.. Spawn is basically the 90's as a character.. Black, leather, spikes, chains and angst all rolled into one. I legit think he's one of the worst things ever.

I'd love to have Blue Beetle in this.

Here's a poster that someone has taken a picture of that basically confirms Injustice 2 as a thing. According the the article, the anonymous detailer said it was a promo poster sent to Gamestops as a pre-order bonus for the game, to be given out as soon as the game is announced and available for pre-order.

Do they have Green Lantern rings?

Yay
The game description sounds good, but those costumes are a bit much. Hopefully we can customize them into something different.

That's what I'm guessing since Batman had two different variations of armor in the trailer, the Kryptonite-looking one and the Batman Beyond-ish armor.

 

[Hush]

Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, ALL OF THE GL's (hopefully ION), Garth, Kid Flash hell all of the Titans, Etrigan and a few others are additions I'd love.

 

[BeserkerHilf]

Who's voice is that? Sounds like a subdued Michael Ironside...


EDIT: That's BRYAN CRANSTON!

Sounded a lot like him. Perhaps voicing Supes or Batman? Either way, I'm all for Cranston being involved.

Are those already out?

 

[dreammaster]

I hope they get Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin to do the voice for supergirl and the flash like they did with Green Arrow with Stephen Amell

 

[HauntedKnight]

Reverse Flash and Scarecrow are on my wishlist.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Only if they stick to DLC skins. I'd rather have professional voice actors handle it like last time.

 

[jerkhero]

Not sure if i like that armor idea, but have to wait and see how they affect the gameplay. Hopefully they aren't there just to sell dlc or some gimmick that becomes old quickly. Maybe the armor system is similar to MK X variations?

 

[terry78]

Looks like a lot of possibilties with that armor thing. We'll see how it works.

 

[Broseph44]

Yeah I'm gonna wait for more info and stuff before jumping all over the armors. Wait for more details and how they're used or utilized etc.

 

[X Knight]

Yes!! Supergirl!!!! Supergirl!!!
