Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

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.

Would Hal count as part of the Sinestro Corps? He should still be using a Yellow Ring in the story.
 
Yes, it was mentioned on the PS Blog which is where I made the connection :)

I'm guessing Grodd, Ivy, Cold, Scarecrow, Cheetah, Deadshor and maybe Bane are the Society.

I missed that blog, so thanks for linking it.

And yeah, pretty sure that will end up being the Society.

That and he latter showed up in Year Five of the comics, though they admit that may have been an oversight.

I should probably catch up on the Injustice comic. I think I stopped just after Year 2 started. Is there any way to catch up easily?
 
We talking stages now?

Gimme that Slaughter Swamp (with Grundy hazard) + Legion of Doom HQ

Gimme that Tower of Fate with the interdimensional fuckery

Gimme a stage in Braniac's ship where the transition is you being shrunk into Kandor or some cool shit like that

Yeah, also the return of RAGE the driving force of MKvsDC :P
Red Lantern Atrocitus seeks revenge against all members of the Sinestro Corps for their murderous oppression of his homeworld. His hate blazes a path across the galaxy leading him to Earth. Sensing an opportunity on the post Regime planet, Atrocitus focuses on bolstering the Red Lanterns ranks by stoking the flames of rage.
 
I'm excited based on the prospective roster. Braniac is one I've wanted since the first one. Robin and Poison Ivy are great. Bane's return is kinda boring. Potentially losing some key DC characters is tough though.

Can't wait for official Swamp Thing reveal.
 
Found this on Amazon US.

Posted this in the other thread, but if Firestorm is in this, I really hope he has a Deathstorm alt. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc., should all have the Crime Syndicate alts.

This is likely. I'd love an Owlman alt for Bats. Though he's for sure getting ten times the alts and gear that any other character is getting.
well... uhh this was quite the change to this creepy bastard
I think that may be the animated series' version only--I may be wrong. I prefer the creepier Toyman from the series though.
 
Oh my god if we get a stage that's right outside the Legion of Doom I will be so happy.

Also, I'm starting to think that maybe Cheetah is one of those characters like in the MKX story mode (Tanya, Rain, etc) where you fight them in story mode but they aren't a part of the roster. And then they're in the mobile game as a clone because that's gonna have more characters anyway
 
If everyone gets 1 premier skin at minimum(probably not happening), who would you pick for the other characters? Bizarro for Superman or just the hero version from the first game?
 
The lack of Shazam is a bit weird, especially with Black Adam in the game. Sure, he's dead on Regime Earth, but so were Green Arrow & Joker.

NRS probably wanted to keep dead characters to a minimum, like how only Liu Kang and Kitana were brought back in MKX (with minimal story involvement). You can't ship a DC game without The Joker, and Green Arrow has his own TV show. Characters like Lex Luthor and Shazam are important, but they're a bit more expendable than Joker and Green Arrow. I'm sure they'll be back as DLC.

I could see him getting cut, especially if they have usage stats showing him as not being popular.

There are going to be tough cuts. If every must-have was in the game, the roster would be 50+.

I dunno. NR doesn't seem to like repeat DLC, and I could see a previous character being paid DLC not going over too well with the general audience.

Superman - Superboy
Wonder Woman - Cassandra Sandsmark or Donna Troy
Batman - Dick Grayson Batman
Aquaman - Mera
Black Adam - Shazam

Also a Guy skin for GL
 
If they put in work with these skins and change some animations for some i can see

Grundy skin for Swamp Thing

Zatanna skin for Doctor Fate

Shazam skin for Black Adam

Deathstroke skin for Deadshot

Cheetah skin for Catwoman

Harambe skin for Grodd

I honestly don’t think we’re getting any character alts besides the ones that leaked. But just for fun…
  • Cyborg Superman (Bizarro doesn’t really work since the whole point of that character is that he’s an opposite Superman - heat breath, freeze vision, and so on)
  • Ocean Master for Aquaman
  • Roy Harper (Speedy/Arsenal/Red Arrow) for Green Arrow
I can’t really think of any other alts without getting too contrived.

Not Detective Chimp?! Traitor!
 
I could see all of the Robins being swaps for Damian.

Superman - Superboy Prime
Gorilla Grodd - Ultra-Humanite and/or Monsieur Mallah

I'd say Bleez for Atrocitus, but that'd probably cause hitbox issues.

Kyle for Hal, assuming he's the main GL.

Deathstorm - Firestorm
Owlman - Batman

Monsieur Mallah - Grodd
Black Beetle - Blue Beetle

Not sure. In the first game's story, we don't see what happens with Hal. He willingly surrenders the yellow ring to MU Superman and gets brought back to the Guardians by MU Lantern. It's possible he'd be back to green with IJ2, since he along with Flash and Shazam sort of was starting to show remorse. (Note: I just played through the IJ1 main story over the weekend so I'm fresh on it)

That said, it would still feel really weird to have Atrocitus replace Sinestro as the Lantern villain entirely.

Ah guess i was remembering something wrong. I should play thru I1 again before 2 hits too.

On the topic of Green Lantern, he'll probably have colors to turn him into a member of all the other Corps. Probably no custom ending like for Yellow Lantern in the first game though.
