Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

One of the main issues I have with IJ1's faces is the really big and goofy looking teeth. lol

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.

Injustice's story mode luckily is pretty short. It took me a lot longer to beat arcade with all the characters. So the Yellow Lantern alt for Hal has a different story ending in that? What about John Stewart? I only played through the game with the default costumes for every character -except- for Cyborg Superman (who had the same ending as regular Supes).

Oh i meant after a match, not the arcade mode. Sorry!
Like as Green Lantern, he flies into space where the other members of the group are in the background, as Yellow Lantern, no one will be there and he will say something different.

Oh so a different victory animation. Gotcha. Cyborg Superman has his own victory bit as well, which is pretty cool. :p

That said, I can see them doing unique victory animations for semi-enhanced costumes like a Sinestro Hal Jordan.
 
I know I used to be against too many Batman reps, but it'd be pretty cool to get Penguin as a character. His short stature, swiss-army umbrella, potential float-unfloat mechanic--he'd be pretty unique. I remember the rampant rumors of his inclusion in the first Injustice.
 
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.
You might be overthinking it. Smash 4 & SFV had veterans as paid DLC and not many people complained.

Would be much cooler than Scarecrow or Bane again. They even could've done a Gotham crossover. Have a Robin Taylor-based costume.
 
All I want is to break Grodd over Bane's knee and for a long odds addition of The Ray. So far I am halfway to my goals being fulfilled.
 
Any guesses as to who our last 3 characters are?
  • Lex Luthor (DC's #2 villain; there's LexCorp machinery in the Metropolis stage)
  • Sinestro (Atrocitus comes to Earth in the story to get revenge on the Sinestro Corps; plus, he's Green Lantern's archenemy)
  • Cheetah (as leaked; it makes sense for Wonder Woman to have a wholly playable villain, and she could easily be made into a powerful feral warrior while Catwoman acquires a few new gadgets)
If those three characters are playable then there'd be a clean 50/50 split between veterans and newcomers and traditional heroes and villains.

I'm hoping this is the case. It'll weird without Lex and Sinestro. And the 50/50 split satisfies my need for organization.

I'm leaning towards it developing like this for the 31 slots on the website, based off 3 things.

1.) Cheetah/Catwoman and Freeze/Cold really aren't that similar. Freeze is a technological tank, Cold is a scoundrel, Catwoman is a graceful thief, Cheetah is a savage.

2.)

We weren't going to have a DC game without Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman. You have to have Luthor, you have to have Joker. All these guys.

3.) The mobile game leaker did not know about Darkseid, so presumably he could be in the dark about other characters from the console version. I guess just 1 more -- Luthor-- but hey Freeze and Cheetah could be costumes and there could be 3 missing.

Possibly, but this is a NR/WB game, and a lot of people already don't like their DLC practices, so I think they're a bigger target for complaints in that regard.
 
I think Black Manta, Starfire, and Lex.

I would prefer Black Manta, Grundy, and Killer Frost(Firestorm is in, weird to have one with out the other).

Ed Boon outright said in an interview that Black Manta wasn't playable but that he might be DLC if the demand was high enough.
 
Aren't Damian and Blue Beetle (and formerly Cyborg) Teen Titans?

When people say Teen Titans they almost always mean that fake anime show.

I know, I'm just hitching my hope on Manta because of the leaker saying he might be a boss, but had a distinct NRS style design.
Also if Manta isn't in the base game I really doubt he will be DLC, I think they have too many quests for them to waste a slot on him.
 
I've seen the "no Teen Titans" criticism before, and it basically just means "I want Starfire and/or Raven."

Beast Boy sometimes comes up too, but yeah it's usually those two.
Though personally I prefer Beast Boy between those 3 cause he's adorable. Don't judge me.

Honestly I'd much prefer unique comic style portraits for the menu like you posted than the ones we're getting
