Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

I'd like for the Joker to be 'rejuvenated'.

The Arkham Joker got old fast, I'd like something new...

Maybe an ex Robin Joker ?

Have they addressed how skins will work in this ?

Will they be over your armor (to keep stats), or would they be "pieces" that you can mix and match ?

Really hoping for something like that because I refuse to play my Superman with Cavill's hairline D: ... I want Superman, not Vegeta.

Am I lying though ?

Also, did they remove battle damage in Injustice 2 :/ ?
 
I just hope they show off gear for the new character, and then during the next Watchtower stream they show some for Deadshot and Robin since those are the two that we haven't seen any of yet.
 
Hoping for someone new to the series like Cold or Ivy. Particularly the latter, I'm curious how her gameplay is going to be like.

As for ps4, Ed Boon said he "wishes" they can make it region free.

Whatever the fuck that means. Like how hard can it be -_- ?

I'm sure they didn't write their own matchmaking code, they are using what is provided by Microsoft/Sony. In this case they'd have to get Sony to change it (good luck).

But pretty much no other fighting games on the PS4 suffer from this. Street Fighter V, King of Fighters XIV, Guilty Gear Xrd, Dead or Alive. Even Injustice 1 I believe doesn't have this.

1) No other fighting game but their own do this.

2) Their betas are never region locked.


This can't possibly be Sony's fault. If ghetto fighting games from Japan that sell less than 10k can be region free, the multi million seller NTR has no excuse.

It did.

My prediction is Captain Cold, but possibly a trailer featuring the Flash as well. I say this because somebody on another forum who's keeping their source under wraps mentioned some supposed details on Captain Cold's play style. If they're posting this info on a month old thread then it may be because their source has information regarding the reveal/next week's stream.

What did they say about him?

Shit I'd LOVE a 2D fighter with DC ...

I wish NTR would take a hint at those animations !

That episode was insanely fun. And yeah, I'd be more than down for a DC fighting game in that style. That said, it seems more in the style of Capcom fighting games, & it's unlikely that WB Games would outsource a DC fighting game to them when they have NRS.

Who/where?
Click to expand...

It's from over on TYM where someone said their source seems reliable, and it isn't someone who BS's a lot from what I can tell. Still though take with a huge grain of salt. I didn't wanna name them or link to the thread here because I don't eventhubs doing to them what they did to you about your MvC info, Ryce :(. But it's from the Captain Cold speculation thread over there lol. Anyway this is what they said:

From what I'm understanding, he is a low-damage trap/set-play character (don't ask for sources, don't wanna get someone in trouble) but his strings are a bit on the weaker/unsafe side so he relies on strong reads and forward planning to be effective.

It ain't much but it's something.... possibly haha.
 
I always said I would have Captain Cold as a co-main as he's my favorite DC villain and that sounds right up my alley after all that spec ops

Hopefully we'll get a trailer soon if not Thursday so we can verify haha. I just thought about how many characters there will be that have "freezing" capabilities. Supergirl, Superman, Green Arrow's ice arrows (if returning), and Captain Cold will be able to as well I'm sure. Spec Ops style CC sounds TERRIFYING lol.
 
Bets on Poison Ivy or Bane being tomorrow's character reveal?

We just had a new character announcement, so they're probably going to go with Bane.

I still say it's either Poison Ivy, or Brainiac. They all got unceremoniously revealed via CG trailers and screenshots. They may not be "new", but we haven't seen gameplay, so they qualify as new in my eyes. They'd probably be revealed alongside Bane or The Flash, giving us a new character and a returning character.

If we get someone who we've never seen before, then I'd be surprised.
 
Can we please get the GL reveal out of the way?

They're doing these Lantern battle things now and they haven't even revealed the guy.
 
I honestly wouldn't complain if Hal Jordan was cut out of that roster. Obviously that will never happen, but personally I've always found him such a bland character.

He's in though Batman has a clash quote that talks about Hal Jordan and John is a skin for Green Lantern and Kyle and Guy are dead.

I know, I just want to see what they've done with him. Hoping they've improved his moveset at least a bit because he was braindead on I1.

Yep. Batman references Hal Jordon having recently put on the green suit again, which is an honour I'm doubtful he's really worthy of, considering how many atrocities he helped commit under the Regime.
 
I think they are retconning some of the Injustice 1 story.

Superman and Batman talks don't sound like Superman murdered innocent people.

More like he killed the Joker and tried to force a regime to bring peace.

They also removed his "evil" look, they only use the red eyes to showcase he's not regular supe.

I think they realized that since they don't have the other world anymore, they kinda need the heroes to ... well, be somewhat heroes and not first grade assholes.

Otherwise their depiction is 100% negative.
 
I'm really not even taking notice of all the character deaths, I'm stunned so many people are. It's a DC game by the creators of MK. Like, what? Why are we treating deaths as final?

Even if the way Batman speaks about Shazam, GA and Joker in some of his intros makes it sound like they won't be back, that doesn't mean other characters can't be. Joker will 110% be back in some form at least, anyway.

DLC characters never cared for "deaths" anyway.

Joker & Green Arrow were in the leak, though no Shazam for whatever reason (even though Black Adam was on the list).
 
Saw a interesting theory on reddit.

Since we know that Doctor Fate is in the game what if its Zatanna as Doctor Fate?

Would you like it?
 
Joker, Lex Luthor, Green Arrow, Shazam and the rest of the dead characters can come back into the Main Story through Superman having to spend an entire level fighting off a Scarecrow induced hallucination.

Done.

Eh, I dunno. I like Zatanna's whole stage magic shtick with backwards magic. Her being Doctor Fate would kinda wipe that identity since his magical abilities are kinda non-descript--his beams are ankh shaped--otherwise he's just a run-of-the-mill platter-of-powers magician. I wouldn't be against it, but I do prefer any of the other established Doctor Fate incarnations. Her stint as the emissary of order was more of a one-off and insignificant IMO.
Salty Rice said:
Well Boon said that Injustice 1 DLC characters wont be back but we maybe didnt see the last of them.

Would at least make the Women count bigger haha
Click to expand...
I want Zatanna back. Sucks that the previous DLC characters aren't making an appearance. Batgirl, Zatanna, Lobo, and MMH would've been great as part of the base roster with more refined movesets. (No one cares about Scorpion).

EDIT: I care even less about Zod lol.
 
Zod could easily be a Superman premium suit I guess.

Kind of pissed that they got rid of Nightwing though because the new Robin is nothing like him. :/
 
IntelliHeath said:
Why they wouldn't be back? That's a strange rule to go with.
Click to expand...

I doubt it's a rule per say, he just knows that none of the DLC characters for the original game are on the current roster for the sequel or are planned to be included in future DLC.

Personally, the only character I'd grieve for is Martian Manhunter. After all the original furor about him not making the final cut, it seems a shame to neglect him again for the sequel. The guy was one of the founding members of the Justice League, for goodness sake!

Think we'll get a Harley Suicide Squad movie skin?
Click to expand...

I don't think so.

Their new gear system seems to go against "costumes"....

And if you look at it, Harley's design already looks like the suicide squad version (heavily inspired).

And Superman is definitely like Henry Cavill now (which wasn't the case at all when Injustice 2 debuted).

So I'm thinking they realized midway that costumes wouldn't work for faces and hair anyway, and they just defaulted the movie versions -ish instead.
