Oh cool, I'm in the main story.
They've still got a lot of gameplay reveals to come, even if they reveal all of the characters early there's a lot more to show.
ugh I warned everyone they'd do this to him. It's a shame because Black Canary looked pretty classic too. Not as bad as I'd thought at least.

Captain Cold looks like Triborg.

Not really a fan of that design, especially the mask, but I guess they need to allow a lot of costume pieces.
I2 Hal got dem Ryan Reynolds eyes.
Sinestro killed him before the game even started.

Guess i was right with that soldier guy being Captain Cold weeks ago.

That looks like a completely different character, like a generic grunt or something. He's wearing a baseball cap and face mask and has an assault rifle.

I doubt he'd swap his small Cold Gun for a larger assault rifle as a simple gear change. Nothing about that silhouette looks cold-themed to me -- it's more of a SWAT aesthetic.
It's an x or scuff marks or something over the GL logo. For a second I thought he had Power Ring's (of the Crime Syndicate) ring.
Graphically or writting wise?
Cause both are pretty rough.
But NRS games always look kinda shitty in the cutscenes for some reason.

Harley is pretty much the most mentally challenged Batman villain,
She can potentially be healed/redeemed in Batman's eyes.
The other Justice League members were of sound mind when they were doing what they were.

Since John is the lamest lantern and everyone only likes him because of him being the guy in JLA cartoon, I wonder if they'll replace all the cool things hal makes in those scenes with stupid fucking bubbles as the only construct for the skin.
I still wonder why Hal was given such a pass in the first place, though. I mean, Sinestro was drummed out of the Corps in the first place because he was doing a variety of shady things that later ended up being exposed as totalitarian dictatorship. How was that any different from Hal getting a Yellow Ring and helping Superman impose a dictatorship over Earth?
DC sure loves giving Hal these kinds of breaks. I wouldn't be half-surprised if they say the Yellow Ring was "brainwashing him and he had no control of his actions".
Seeing some Robin gear would be cool.
Green could also be Ivy but whoever it'll be, i'm looking forward to the gear and abilities they'll show off
Tyler Lansdown said it's not Ivy. That pretty much leaves Swamp Thing as the only other green character.

I doubt it, but it does seem like its possible for him to show up in story mode. Hopefully he won't be a punching bag like Cyborg.

Because Sinestro tricked him and took advantage of him in a time his will was fading. Still bad but better than say Cyborg who seems 100% in with the Regime without any help(aside from some of his friends dying in the nuke). Years of penance and knowing he did bad things can help Hal.

In the Injustice Earth, Harley has a family and was well aware the Joker didn't care about her and only used her as tool for his plans. She knows what she's did was wrong and still does bad things yet nobody ever brings it up.
Superman's right, Batman did love the Joker. No wonder he gives Harley a chance.
We're getting Swamp Thing and Cheetah walkthroughs next week. I can't wait to see Cheetah gameplay.

By US Law anyone who aids and abets a wanted felon can be charged with the same crimes. But the embezzling Richman says she cool so it's all good.
Plus 10 minutes of match footage on him. He's the last new character anyone wants to see.

Eh we saw already so much Swamp Thing not really needed.
But for Cheetah im hype. Really interested how she plays.
So like, real life?

Sinestro and Hal were turned over to the Guardians at the end of Injustice 1. I assume Sinestro is in a science cell like other Green Lantern villains.

Good. I'm guessing there's more Swamp Thing tricks to show off, and ever since Cheetah was confirmed as a grappler, I am super interested in seeing her walkthrough.
What did he mean by this?

The Marcus Fenix premier skin for Captain Cold will be pretty nice at least

That new trailer sure as hell is confusing. Hal Jordan again with Batman? Demian went back to the Robin costume? Tom Taylor recently posted the trailer on Facebook and a few people were wondering why they're regressing with the characters instead of moving forward/doing something new, and he said "everything will make sense". And after what he accomplished with Injustice 1-2 and half year 3, I can say that I trust this guy a LOT. Let's keep in mind that the new comic book series is a precuel to the new game, so we'll get our answers there. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT.
Hal wants to make amends for his atrocities, same as Barry. Damian probably doesn't want the mantle of dick grayson anymore.

I'm far too excited for the prequel comic series. I can't wait to see what happened in between the first and second game. I'm happy to see Hal Jordan seeking redemption for his crimes; redemption has played a big role in motivating his actions within the comics. I hope we see him head down that road in the prequel. Hal is a better hero than villain and I'm confident he is in capable hands under Taylor's pen.
I love that we're seeing Harley and Diana's friendship in game. Harley had some great moments with both Ollie and Diana in the original prequel series.

I can totally see Barry on Batman's team again since he always was kinda insecure about Superman and in Year 5 we saw those feelings get bigger to the point he betrays Clark by saving Bruce's life.
Hal on the other hand...not so much. I mean, he felt guilty for a lot of crap he was involved in but that side of the character wasn't quite developed (thanks Buccellato). But I'm sure after a few numbers of the new comic book I'll change my mind. Like I said, I have total faith in Tom fucking Taylor
(that sounded weird)
The whole Hal arc was FANTASTIC (well...pretty much every character was really well developed)...until that criminal named Brian Buccellato came along and fucking ruined everything. The whole war between the Sinestro Corps and the Green Lanterns was far too amazing. And I agree, he is a better hero than a villain and I think that's because he doesn't have strong motivations to be one. Yes, he was on Superman's side because he believed in his cause but because of that, a whole bunch of fellow Lanterns died (not to mention close alies like Ollie, Dinah...) and in that moment he was filled with regret. I can see him seeking redemption for everything he'd done.
Harley Quinn was easily one of the best characters in the comics. Taylor said that she is by far his favorite character to write and that makes me so damn happy 'cause I really loved his arc. And like you said, she had great moments with Ollie and Dinah. Can't wait to see that reunion in the comics!
The way I'm fangirling over this omg
I cackled so hard at this lol
Harley and Canary become best buds after Harley takes care of a pregnant Canary in the Injustice comics.

For Damian it's likely that
those scenes are from the Chapter 1 flashback before Damian defects

Oh god, it just struck me that Cold will probably have a move where he freezes a spot on the ground and makes you slip like the MKX Test Your Luck modifier.

Oh my god that picture is killing me.
We've already seen so much of Swamp Thing and I don't personally care for a Cheetah so I'm probably going to skip this stream again.

I see a lot of ice weaponry on his person, stuff like grenades.
I think he'll take a lot of inspiration from Cyber Sub Zero for his moveset.
