Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

There are a lot of animations and idle poses in the first Injustice that need to be completely overhauled. I'm hoping for a jump in animation quality in Injustice 2 that's similar to the transition from MK9 to MKX.

Batmans butler pose needs to stay.
It's my favorite thing about the game.
People have had such weirdly heated debates over it, it's amazing.
 
After reading wish lists for DLC i hope its not 50% Guest Characters again like MKX.

I can see 3 from the 9 being Guest Characters tho. Sub-Zero, Spawn and Hellboy.

Man, you must love the salt lol. I'm indifferent to the idle, however I wouldn't be against changing it. It is pretty weird.
 
Invisible bag-holding Batman stance has got to go.

I never got THAT worked up about it though, I remember there was this one guy who used to spam NRS about it on Twitter with this picture of fan art, and say "you need to change Batman's pose, it needs to look like THIS".

And then he joined Test Your Might and various other NRS forums I use later to do the exact same thing.

I told him he was an idiot, he told me to suck a monkey nipple.
 
I'd like to see the following changes to returning fighters:
  • Batman - new stance, Batgirl’s smoke pellet (or something similar)
  • Green Lantern - a new construct or two
  • The Flash - I feel like he needs a complete special move overhaul; his Injustice 1 stuff was so boring (a can-can kick?!), he felt more authentic in MKvDCU
  • Catwoman - Batgirl’s bola and Erron Black’s caltrops
 
The only guests I want are more DC characters.

:/

I've accepted the fact that we're getting at least two non-DC characters though. I'll just be slightly grumpy about them.
 
All these descriptions of Batman's pose are killing me haha. It really is the least threatening fighting stance of all time. They should just upgrade him to this:

Anybody want to play some Injustice on PS4 in preparation sometime this week? Maybe start a GAF room or something.
 
Batgirl felt more Batman than Batman ever did to me, even with her silly ass vortex.

I am one of the few that wanted Batgirl back, in part because of this, and because it would be neat to have bot her and Supergirl.

Vortex and teleport aside, Batgirl had cool attacks, and one of the better supers.
 
Catwoman leak?

Someone on reddit found this on a DC All Access ad and could be part of a of a upcoming reveal or the Injustice 2 comic.

Maybe they forgot thats in the background while filming because there is no comic series right now that begins with a "In" than Injustice.

Edit: false alarm
 
I know but this looks a little more detailed and different art so it could be for the Injustice 2 comic that gets a release date soon.

It could fit as a character render they have right now for all revealed characters.

Sure, I was just pointing out that there is an Injustice comic currently running.

-edit-

I misread your post, I thought you said there was no Injustice comic currently coming out

Font is crazy off. Maybe a revamp of Infinite Crisis? Font is similar. That or it's old promotional material back when it was a thing.
 
Killer Frost and Captain Cold would be two characters with the same theme. Captain Cold and Mr Freeze both just have freeze guns. It's likely that Mr Freeze plays a role in the story like Tanya/Rain did and is a story premium skin. It makes no sense to have two characters so incredibly close in playstyle

Those characters share the same abilities but aren't as specific and niche as "ice gun." Cmon dude, there's a difference

Cold gun, people. Captain Cold has a cold gun.
 
By the way they changed the 3 week countdown for a reveal on injustice.com to next tuesday for the gameplay twitch reveal.

Most likely a fuck up by them. Well at least we know already when the 2nd stream or trailer gonna be.

Hope we gonna see some Robin and Ivy action.

They usually reveal one old and one new but since this is a gameplay reveal stream, who knows what they are going to do. Robin and Ivy seem likely, or maybe Robin and Flash?
 
60% of female cast got cut. Out of the eight, only three made it back. Which is such a shame because Batgirl, Raven, Zatanna and Kiler Frost were awesome characters to play as.

I had a lot of fun playing with Raven so I definitely agree, it's a shame :(. I even got my fiancee into playing the game when it came out and she learned how to do some combos with her. She's excited for Poison Ivy, though. Is Raven still alive in the comic line?

I spent two hours in training on IJ1 with Ares tonight, I'm disappointed he's not returning either :(. I need some people to play, online is a ghost town lol.
 
I had fun playing with Raven, but only because I practically begged for the character.

If it was up to me she'd be getting an overhaul in I2.
 
Looks like
Freeze and Cold are two separate characters.

Also the DLC leaked:

Killer Frost
Ice
Icicle Jr
Sub-Zero
Elsa
Frosty the Snowman
Jack Frost
Iceman
Bjork

Not even kidding, I started reading your post at work and almost knocked the monitor off the desk. I don't want Freeze to be a separate character THAT badly lol.
 
Those premiere skins or whatever they're called are most likely going to be available for purchase or download outside the Ultimate Edition, right? Don't think I can afford the UE, so I'll be missing out on Reverse-Flash, sadly.

Also, do we know if these skins change anything aside from the character's look and voice/lines?

Batman's idle stance really needs to change, though. It's idiotic.
 
So it's pure speculation and possibly reading too much into it, but someone on Reddit thinks there may have been a subtle hint at a tag mode in IJ2.

https://www.reddit.com/r/INJUSTICE/comments/5ovflq/did_the_latest_trailer_just_hint_at_2v2_tag_mode/

I would write this off as wishful thinking if it wasn't for the fact that Brian Goodman at NRS mentioned potential co-op modes in the game:

I think that plays into the factions thing that delSai talked about earlier in this thread.

Batman for the Insurgency, Superman for the Regime, Supergirl for Brainiac/The Society and Wonder Woman for Atlantis/4th faction.

Ah, that's a very good point. I have to say them referring to Factions and Faction War type modes ala MKX as co-op modes wouldn't surprise me. It makes them sound a lot better than what they actually are then lol.

I know tag mode didn't take off in MK9 (which is why it was dropped in MKX) so I don't know if Boon would ever want that back:(.

Oh, so they could be doing the MKX-style online factions again. That would be cool.

Any word if Star Labs is coming back?
