Isn't reverse flash in the story ?
Hmmm yeah true. Why are we paying extra for me! Weird...
Sorry if I'm late with this, but apparently (like I2 Green Arrow) this Joker is from another Earth.

I think he just isn't in the story. One intro says that he's from another Earth, but another says that he's a creation of the Fear Gas. They're probably playing around with him like that because he just isn't an actual character.
But the narrative lead said his favorite characters to write for in the game are Superman Supergirl and "spoiler", and Joker was the only character unrevealed.
So that would imply he does have some appearances there. Might be flashbacks or another earth (green arrow and dina do come from another earth) or hallucinations I guess.
No there isn't , we have only seen Reverse Flash.
You can unlock a Cyborg skin (Grid) by playing the mobile game.
And you can't customize the skins so they're kinda useless unless it's a character you love.
In all of the who are we maining lists, I forget that my competitive go to will be GA lol.

Is that actually a legitimate Premier Skin? Or just a combination of custom parts and a shader? It looks more like the latter.
Please tell me there is a plague doctor outfit for Scarecrow.
But Vixen and Batwoman aren't playable.

NRS is saving the best for last (DLC).
It's just regular gear. Looks pretty cool though.
But... but I wasn't talking about her face

Dude, she looks fine.
What's your problem? it's a perfectly fine face.

So the premiere skins might not even be exclusive to CE? Does it come with a season pass for DLC characters at least? $99 for 2 exclusive shaders and a few premium skins that might be unlockable elsewhere seems kind of pointless
The $99 version comes with 9 DLC characters.
Edit: also physical version comes with a steelbook.
... Yes ? it literally says "+9 DLC characters".
The premium skins can't be dropped for that version, probably have to buy them later on.

That's what I thought. The video was labelled "skin," so I was confused.

I wonder what they are going to show us for the next two weeks.
Joker gameplay breakdown and first dlc character.

Another cool detail is that when The Flash wears a helmet his voice is distorted. I found some more intros but one of the intros has story mode spoilers so watch out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxer0dqI5SU

Nice touch.

Injustice 2 hype! My girlfriend found a kitten and we named him Snart after Captain Cold.

I wasn't a big fan of the gear/leveling system when it was first announced, but I'm starting to think adding a sense of progression to the single player is actually a brilliant move. Still will probably never use the progression system online, but adding that sense of progression could really extend the longevity of the game for the more casual base who enjoys single player.

returning character? Wonder Woman's redesign has me excited to play the character. I've always love the WW character but hated her injustice design and gameplay.
new character?
This one is harder for me because there are so many that i like,, but Scarecrow injustice design really works for me. Never wanted him in a fighting game but im glad he's in.
Who is your worst designed ...
returning
worst design for me is maybe Cyborg. He seems uninspired and an after thought. I was hoping for a redesigned movelist.
new
Atrocitus- love his powers , dex star and animation but his bulky lava look isnt working at all for me.
What character has the best intro animation...
Poison Ivy- her intros fits that character so well.
What character has the worst intro animation...
Firestorm. Why does he just walk on ? pretty lame for what he can do.
What character has surprised you once you saw their trailer/breakdown stream?
Once again, Scarecrow. Just a nice design overall.
What character has disappointed you once you saw their trailer/breakdown stream?
Firestorm...why did NRS reduce him down to the human torch? so disappointing!!!

Bane. I feel that it's a massive improvement over the last game.
Doctor Fate. I still think his reveal trailer is the best one.
Cyborg. Mainly because I just don't like him and there was probably nothing they could do to 'improve' him.
Firestorm. I still think he looks dumb as hell.
Scarecrow. I love how you see him go from his human form into his nightmare form.
None. There's none that I actively don't like.
Scarecrow. My interest in him shot up massively once I saw his trailer.
Poison Ivy. I'd hoped her trailer would help make feel like she would be a good addition to the roster but her breakdown and trailer did nothing for me. Easily my most least liked character in this game.

Have to agree with Wonder Woman, she looks a LOT better in this game and I'm really interested in playing her.

Agree with you here too, they really nailed Scarecrow in this game. He looks menacing AF and it translates in his playstyle too, especially his trait. Close second would have to be Dr. Fate.
Agree with you again!!
Firestorm. Just blegh.
We're like kindred spirits man, agree with you here too.
Not a fan of Bane's at all personally.
Cheetah looks like a lot more fun and a lot more dangerous than I originally anticipated.
Robin. Wasn't expecting to like him much anyway but ehhhh

Returning; I actually really like the new Flash costume, and his flow in the game too. Being a huge fan, I think the way they've designed his speed is top notch. Black Adam is my runner-up though, very badass redesign.
New; I can't choose between Darkseid or Scarecrow. Darkseid for how bored he actually looks (guy's slapping people left and right) or Scarecrow's look (and he's voiced by Robert Englund, so that's a plus).
Returning; Cyborg. Never been a fan of his character, and will be slapping that Grid Premium Skin on for sure.
New; Probably Captain Cold. His standard set just looks very boring to me. I'm sure I'll change my mind when I've seen more of Cold's Gear pieces.
Reverse-Flash, simply for the Rebirth throwback.
Superman. That "Breaking the Kryptonite Handcuffs" animation gets old quicker than the intros.
Probably Green Lantern. Looks a lot more fluid than his GAU counterpart.
Agreed on Firestorm. What a waste of a potientially great character.

Flash looks pretty spiffy compared to everyone else. Second choice would probably be Joker.
Black Canary stands out the most. Second choice would be Firestorm.
I'll go ahead and echo the Cyborg opinions as well as add Catwoman. Contrary to many of my post dealing with Cyborg, I don't hate the character. I'm just disappointed in DC's handling of him. He always comes off as an afterthought and it's frustrating. Here he has the same set of moves except now he can summon an exploding Roomba.
None of the new characters are particularly bad. I guess Captain Cold because he's just a dude in a winter coat.
Scarecraw.
Superman and Wonder Woman's are kinda plain.
They pulled out the stops with Scarecrow. I don't plan to main him, but he was looking good.
Poison Ivy was a bit plain.
Bane. Was too roided before, now just right.
Brainiac. Love the Doc oc tentacles.
Catwoman. And no, it's not because of the face thing, it's because I genuinely loved her outfit in the first game and thought it was real cool how her whip doubled as her tail.
Firestorm. Everything about him is bad and I question why he was added to this game.
Scarecrow, easily. Honourable mention to Green Arrow, him sliding in and then pointing his arrow at you is bad ass.
Swamp Thing. The one where he's just sitting, hanging with nature. Guy pisses me off.
The Joker. I love how personal he gets, the fact that the opponent is humiliated, beaten, and helpless in it. For the brief time it's on, the opponent is basically your bitch. I also love the start up animation and how Joker runs off like a delinquent when the gas explodes.
Robin's. It's the definition of lazy and unoriginal. Honorouble mention to Grodd for ruining his super with a lack luster final punch.
The Joker. It's the most elegant and impressive one shown. Very satisfying to see if I win, very demoralizing to opponents who lose. It's perfect.
Blue Beetle. The last thing we need to see is a slow motion view of his face. Just looks creepy that way.
Captain Cold. He was really cool.
Deadshot. Not a fan of how he was just gonna be all gun and no brains.
BTW, I added the win animation and super sections because I thought that would be interesting.
Who is your top visually designed returning character?
Flash. I think his design and character model are especially well done. Everything from his character select screen animation to his intros, outro, his super and his moves during gameplay have so much charm and personality. You clearly notice he is Ed Boon's favorite and got a lot of attention.
Who is your top visually designed new character?
Difficult to say... There are a lot great looking ones. especially the non-human characters, like Grodd, Swamp Thing, Scare Crow, Atrocitus, Brainiac etc. I think Swamp Thing takes the cake though.
I love his fighting style, super and the outro with the wings and branches everywhere.
Who is your worst designed returning character?
Superman. He looks like a random middle-aged dude in a Superman costume to me. They obviously modelled him after Cavill, even added his noticably receeding hairline, but they failed to give him Cavill's good looks. I don't like his default costume either. His costumes in the recent movies or in Injustice 1 looked much sleeker. As the main character (alongside Batman) he feels especially unremarkable.
Who is your worst designed new character?
I don't know... Maybe Deathshot? Just visually, including his generic gear. His fighting style looks pretty cool though.
What character has the best intro animation?
Probably Ivy. She looks so elegent and majestic stepping out of that huge flower.
What character has the worst intro animation?
There is no particular one that comes to my mind.
What character has the best win animation...
Flash. It's not the visually most impressive, but it looks so cool and dynamic the way he runs towards the camera and then slows down.
I liked Supergirl's for that reason too. Now that she doesn't face the camera anymore, her win animation looks so much lamer. I wonder why they changed that...
What character has the best super?
Aquaman. It's not just super impressive, but also really pretty with the water effects. The waves and whirlpool look so lifelike.
What character has the worst super?
Several characters come to mind. Robin, Black Canary, Wonder Woman etc. They lack oomph and spectacle.
What character has surprised you once you saw their trailer/breakdown stream?
Poison Ivy. I initially thought she was much more boring and unimaginative, especially compared to the other plant inspired character, Swamp Thing. Turns out they took great care to give everything she does personality too.
What character has disappointed you once you saw their trailer/breakdown stream?
Easy! Aquaman, because he neither got his own trailer (being a returning character) nor a breakdown.

Injustice is its own thing. Aren't the characters supposed to be somewhat older in the game's storyline/universe?
