Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

If you leave out Darkseid (DLC), Power Girl (Premier Skin), Reverse Flash (Premier Skin), John Stewart (Premier Skin), & Mr. Freeze (likely Premier Skin), you'd have 28 characters in the base roster. Adding in Darkseid brings that number up to 29, which will later be made 38 when you factor in the upcoming 9 DLC characters.

Ok, thanks, so assuming the two question marks on the select screen seen yesterday are random and Darkseid, that's the 28. So if that select screen holds, Freeze seems more likely a premiere skin?
 
Yeah i would expect a proper IGN trailer later for Cyborg today.

Cyborg is just the most meh character ever. His existence for being prominent in the Justice League is literally because he is black.

Nope its because he was in the Superfriends and Johns watched it as a kid. Plus Johns wanted a designated tech guy and like Martian Manhunter, Firestorm Atom etc cant do that
 
I got a weird question

The answer sounds simple but I think it would have more have a negative on forums with the "too many Batman characters" complaint

Would you rather have 29 chars and Freeze a skin?

Or 30 character with Freeze his own character?

Probably separate. I'm not convinced a Freeze skin would work well. It depends on how they design Cold. Although, I wouldn't pick Freeze as a separate character either. So whatever, as long as it's done well.

I know I honestly would prefer 100 chars over him but was thinking of how they can make him play differently and seems quite easy

Look at it from a Batman and Lex ability both Billionairs who are super Intellects that use technology to make up for their lack of powers

Captain Cold would be the Batman of the Ice World

While Lex would be the Freeze

In superfriends he was more like the six million dollar man and less like he is now. He sorta fills the role of a voice activated bat computer and the unfortunate living door inhuman that acts as transportation. It felt like he had a much better purpose as a teen Titan or even a Titan mentor then being on the justice league.

I still love that the one time he got to lead a new Titans team Trigon came back, left Cyborg just a torso with a head and killed a bunch of the team.
 
I know why Superman is so strong.

With that hairline, he gotta be a saiyan !
 
I wonder if Black Manta has a good chance of DLC if only because they could avoid having to do the facial mocap if they kept the helmet on.

That's his other major role, and the role of all characters that are robots or can regenerate. Having limbs broken off.
 
I find it odd that this game has 2 plant power based fighters.
Seems sorta redundant.

Although I am not sure why Poison Ivy is in this full stop. She's hardly a fighter.

Skin, Batman is stifling other products at DC.

They're nothing alike as fighting game characters, and apart from communicating with plant life (which they use in different ways), they have different powers. Swamp Thing has super strength, he can grow copies of himself, and he can grow plants out of his body, and Poison Ivy can secrete toxins.

Poison Ivy fights when she has to, and being a pacifist has never kept someone out of a fighting game. Some of the most fun and interesting characters in the genre are unconventional non-combatants.
 
ST and Poison Ivy probably have a part to play in the story. The Green seems to be a big component in this game, especially with the other leaked character
seemingly being a part of the Rot

Yeah totally gonna see Ivy and Swamp Thing being against each other until they both team up for the greater green against
Scarecrow.
 
Vic and Diana have awful portrayals in this series but they're the sacrificial lambs so that Superman isn't alone on his side.

I miscounted and left out Black Adam which made me believe Freeze was his own character. I'm now confident that Freeze is a premiere skin. It would be weird for him to be the only one though, I wonder who else will be a premiere skin in the base game.

Aside from someone like Bizarro probably Nightwing or Tim.
 
Ehhhhhh I mean Joker killed most of his friends
And Superman never told anyone what happened to the rest of the Titans I dont think
Probably thinks Joker killed them too.

He's lost his tethers to humanity too. Wonder Woman is just a jerk though
Speaking of Wonder Woman being a jerk, did I1 or the mobile game ever get a Flashpoint Pack?

Wait, what happened to the titans? I thought they DID die in Metropolis (not Nightwing of course).

No they didn't, or at least not all of them.
Robin, Starfire, Superboy and Wonder Girl are trapped in the Phantom Zone, giving the writers an opportunity to bring them back if need be.

I think Mr. Freeze will be either a Mobile unlock skin or a tournament fund skin, kind of like they did with... was it sub zero in MKX? I can't remember. Blue Steel or something?
