Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

Is that really something she's known for?
Not particularly, but John Stewart isn't known for making Air Force themed constructs and Reverse-Flash tends to fight more viciously than The Flash. Aside from the whip, Catwoman's Injustice 1 moveset fits Cheetah perfectly.
 
Unrelated-ish, but I wish they'd gotten Atrocitus' voice actor from the GL animated series. That guy was amazing, not a fan of the generic Baraka monster voice.

On that note, I wish Grodd had his voice from JL:TAS. His growly voice sounds so lame.
 
Deadshot Bio said:
Floyd Lawton is “the” human arsenal, his aim lethal from any range. Having escaped imprisonment during the Regime, he now enters the fray as an expert assassin for hire, forced to contend with the fact that Grodd has come into possession of the detonator to the Personal Explosive Device implanted in his head.
Heh, i'm looking forward to the scene where they fight.
 
I love how Robin is basically an Assassin now and just always has a hood because of Arkham City.

Like a 90% chance he'll have one in the DCEU, if he ever appears.

They can change the constructs and Eobard being like Barry is one of his things. It'd be weird for Cheetah to get a weapon which afaik she's never used.

She's the only non Batman female villain, Wonder Woman is getting pushed hard right now and she's part of the super villain team that's in the game. Signs point to actual character for my tastes.

Remember last game had Killer Frost just to make up numbers.

With NRS' over-use of guest characters, I'm guessing 4 guest characters and 5 DC characters.

I think i could live with that. Spawn, Hellboy, Sub-Zero and one of the TMNT's please.
Obviously you would be able to switch between all the Turtles with Gear :P

The MK characters are mainly my problem. Bring on all the Comic Guests.

I wouldn't pre-order digitally until Sony does one of the spend $100, get $15 promos.

I'm probably getting it on Bluray, but i'll remember that should i change my mind.

What if Cheetah would take that last spot on newcomer side?
 
That's still a stretch and you know it, the idea is it's a Cheetah alt using Wonder Woman's lasso? Okay then.
It's no more outlandish to me than John Stewart using Hal's constructs. You know just as well as I do that NRS isn't going to give John unique constructs. He's technically just a skin, and he used Hal's constructs in the first game.
 
Cheetah is a difficult thing. She doesn't really deserve a solo spot but she doesn't exactly fit as an alt for Catwoman. I'm hoping she's an alt so that we have 3 more unleaked characters
 
Also who knows, maybe they're reworking Catwoman a bit. I know it's unlikely, but that's something that possibly could happen.
 
Assuming one of the roster boxes is for Darkseid and that Cheetah and Mr. Freeze are premier skins, I think the game might launch with two veterans and a newcomer that the leaker forgot to list. That’s 30 characters in all: 15 old and 15 new.

Veterans
Aquaman
Bane
Batman
Black Adam
Catwoman
Cyborg
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Harley Quinn
Superman
The Flash
The Joker
Wonder Woman
?
?

Newcomers
Atrocitus
Black Canary
Blue Beetle
Brainiac
Captain Cold
Deadshot
Doctor Fate
Firestorm
Gorilla Grodd
Poison Ivy
Robin
Scarecrow
Supergirl
Swamp Thing
?

Also, from a traditional alignment standpoint and not the injustice universe, there's 15 heroes and 12 villains on that list. I imagine the last 3 that haven't leaked are all villains
 
The leaker not knowing about Darkseid is truly suspect, making it seem like Darkseid is a late-addition

We all forget how with MKX the sudden addition of the random slot changed the prediction game when it expanded the select screen

My bold prediction is that Cheetah and Mr. Freeze are in fact separate characters,bringing the base roster count to 30 and then Darkseid as the final 31st -- accounting for the 31 spaces on the website

Mystery solved, Watson.

It's better this way.
Give Captain Cold access to the weapons of all the dead Rogues in his special moves -- something that wouldnt fit Mr. Freeze at all.
Make Freeze much bulkier and more tech-based, basically Lex Luthor's inheritor

Edit: wait I miscounted
 
I could see Cheetah being a separate character, but I'm just not entirely convinced at the moment. It's definitely possible, especially if Catwoman was reworked to be more gadget-based with bolas and caltrops. Cheetah could be the more vicious, "feral" character with Mileena style biting attacks.

Where did the original leak come from? Can someone give me the skinny?
A 4chan user who claims to have worked on the mobile version of Injustice 2 posted a list in December that appears to be legitimate.
 
Having Mr Freeze and Captain Cold as separate characters would the weirdest decision NRS has ever made. Ivy and Swamp Thing is one thing, both plant based but very different. But these dudes both just have a gun that shoots ice
 
I know there are, like, a billion ways to bring back dead characters, but if Scarecrow is indeed rumored to be in the game, I wonder how they'll do it, since I believe he was well and truly dead before the events of the game even transpired.
 
I think every villain confirmed or 'leaked' have been Secret Society members except for Atrocitus (a very new addition) and Brainiac (who appears to be doing his own thing). And yes many/most villains have been in the Society at some point BUT all the newcomers like Grodd, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow and Cold have been prominent repeat Secret Society members. And Cheetah very much fits the bill there too.

Snart has a cold gun. It's no mere ice gun/freeze ray.


(It's meaningless in terms of gameplay but Snart would want it clarified that he's superior)

Funny you should mention the Secret Society;

Telepathic brute, Gorilla Grodd, has long sought to prove his peerless genius by subjugating mankind. He’s gone so far as to form an anti-Justice League, the Society, to once and for all smash their opposition. Using his intellect and telepathy Grodd enlists others in his mission to conquer the planet and fill void of power left by Superman’s Regime.

Scarecrow was in the background of a stage in the original, it doesn't seem like they really care if he's truly "dead" or not.

Also Scarecrow was a character I really wanted in the game. So it's cool.
 
Atrocitus' bio basically says that he's in the game to enact revenge on the Sinestro Corps, so maybe Sinestro is one of the remaining mystery characters.
 
Looks like the web site is still using the older versions of the character faces? Hard to tell.

Wonder Woman kinda looks like the original reveal, perhaps?

Aquaman still looks sorta James Hetfield-esque. I was hoping they would tweak him.
