Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

The OP should probably be updated now, with almost all of the characters and more stages that we've seen (Batcave, Gorilla Grodd's zoo, Kahndaq)
 
It's Crazy that the voice of Freddy is doing Scarecrow

Whenever a non DC person ask me who is Scarecrow I always said " A DC version Freddy essentially"

Looks like NRS thought that too lol

What they need to do is go back and port MK9 Freddy into MKX with him doing VO for it.

I need Freddy vs Jason in game form.

They really should have done that rather than Leatherface, repeat or not. I think that was a bad call. It's a huge missed opportunity to have both Alien/Predator, and Freddy/Jason in the same game. I don't think anyone really cared about Leatherface, and would much preferred those pairings.

I hope we get an Arkham Asylum skin for Scarecrow with Dino Andrade as the voice.

I was struggling to think of premiere skins that would actually work, and I don't think there are that many, but that would be one. Same with many of the Arkham designs.

I also really want Superfriends-style premiere skins.
 
What DLC characters are you guys hoping for?

Personally, I think I'm gunning for...

Constantine,
Starfire,
Vixen,
Martian Manhunter,
Booster Gold,
Black Manta,
Hellboy (Hellboy)
Rorschach (Watchmen)
Judge Dredd (2000 AD)

Also, let's have a Red Hood premiere skin just so people can shut about him!

Fuck, surprised MMH didn't make it in base this time...

There's so many great dc characters it's hard to choose so...

1. Shazam (though really a very well done premiere skin (new ultra, redesigned animations) would be acceptable)
2. Beast Boy
3. Etrigan
4. MMH or Miss Martian
5. Constantine
6. Sinestro
7. Meera
8. Cassandra Cain
9. Jason Todd

Hoping for Guy Gardner & Kyle Rayner premium skins. Red Lantern Guy would be awesome.

So who are you guys interested in maining once the game drops?

Poison Ivy is a lock for me.

For a secondary, I might go towards Dr. Fate or Green Arrow but now Captain Cold also looks dope.

Dunno, I'm not experienced in fighters and I think it comes down to once I actually get the game and play around in it.

Right now I think based on what we've seen, Dr Fate is the most appealing to me, visually. Need more footage of Black Adam to see if he plays any different, but he'd be my first choice because I love the character. Other then that, I'm interested in playing like all the roster. I think they did a solid job, there's no characters I'm absolutely uninterested in, unlike IJ with Areas, Kfrost & Hawkgirl.
 
Martin Manhunter getting overlooked again is an absolute travesty, especially after the outcry regarding his omission in the first game,

Not a fan of how Martin Manhunter seems to have been getting gradually phased out of all DC related media in general these days. I've always found him to be such a fan character.

He's on Supergirl and he was a DLC for Injustice 1.

In no way does that represent a "phase out" like the actual characters they phased out.
 
According to some folks, there was a Q&A for that Teen Titans: Judas Contract movie and someone asked about Static. One of the producers mentioned that he may be showing up in other pieces of media in the future.

So...we have hope for Static DLC.
 
I would not be surprised to see a full blowing Horror icon fighter, like MKX DLC was testing the idea, even if they made it free and you pay for what character you want like KI

Off topic I know

I'm pretty sure that Ed Boon said in an interview for MKX that he wouldn't make people pay for the same DLC character twice in two games. I'm pretty sure that was about why Rain wasn't a DLC even though he was in the game.

I hate this shitty stance of Boon.

If people want it and even want to pay just give it to them.

The reason because they need to be DLC again is because of the developers after all.

Also its not like they were shy to let people for the same game 60 bucks again in the PS2 days.
 
Interesting. I could see NRS putting in Miss Martian into the game to get around the fact that they claim that they wouldn't put in any previous DLC from Injustice 1.

Yeah Miss Martian would be an interesting choice. I can't remember if she had been mentioned in the injustice books or not.

Dunno what Mary Marvel or Freddy Freeman or up to either, or if they even exist in this canon.

I still need to read year 5.

That's good to hear.
 
I'd like to see less anthropomorphic characters for the future.

Starro
Detective Chimp
Egg Fu
Krypto the Superdog
Danny the Street

...

Seriously though, Starro would be awesome. After seeing him in Infinite Crisis (mediocre DC moba), I've always wanted to see him in a fighting game. Grodd is the only non-"human", and even then, he's a gorilla-built relatively similar to a human. I want to see a MODOK or Shuma-Gorath type character for Injustice.
 
For some reason I'd actually be kind of OK with Raiden in this. Best case scenario is no MK character, but if they have to put one in I'd rather it be the one who's already a God. But nope, we'll get another ninja instead.

Also I would absolutely kill for a horror-themed fighter from NRS, but I get the feeling the roster would be significantly smaller than something like I2, also they might have trouble coming up with ideas for everyone since a decent amount of horror villains are just dudes with knives or no clearly defined or distinctive sets of powers/abilities.
 
I've been enjoying the constant roughly weekly release of information because they went dark for so long. However the release is coming up very fast and there's still a ton of stuff they have to reveal. I don't know how they are going to cram it all in before release. We haven't seen gameplay details or streams of a ton of characters yet. We still haven't gotten the gear stream that they were going to do or seen anything about new single player modes.

They should also probably give an idea about the first few DLC characters because that is important to know for pre-ordering. Having to decide between editions is really difficult without any idea of the difference in characters included.
 
I already pre-ordered the ultimate edition because I'm an idiot I needed to have all the characters available even if I don't play them.

But they definitely should unveil at the very least the first 3 DLC characters that will be in the Digital Deluxe edition.

Possibility for sure, but I think one of the creators of Static just came to new terms with DC to produce more work, so they might have meant actual comics.

Just like MKX, despite not putting much time into all the dlc characters the OCD in me will not be pleased until I have every character haha. With Best buy GCU and 10 dollars in reward certificates I'm getting the ultimate for 70 bucks. I think they'll announce at least 1 dlc before launch. Didn't they do that with Lobo?

Nah, that was Black Lightning's creator. The Static ones that are still alive are already cool with DC(just announced season 2 of the show is getting a re-release).

Yeah, I already pre-ordered the Ultimate edition, because who am I kidding, I will want every character in this game regardless. I also got it slightly reduced digitally due to the PSN cash back promo they ran recently. I get all fighters in almost every fighter I play. It still is a fairly questionable practice. At the bare minimum, they need to reveal the first three.
 
It's just gonna be a gameplay trailer according to Facebook, which means Catwoman will be the only returning castmember to get a straight gameplay trailer to herself.

That's weird, with that face, they should probably pretend she doesn't exist and market the far better looking characters like GL and Flash.
 
Wait, is that our first in-game reference to Batwoman??!
"The Gotham City Sirens. You, me, Kate and Babs."

Hope for Premier Skin/DLC rising! I've replayed the intro dialogue too many times to count now. I'm seriously in shock.

Damn

Waiting for Komplete version it is
 
Meh on Catwoman but the real news is this is pretty much our first look at some of Poison Ivy's moves!!! Looks like she has that Shinnok underground vertical projectile thing going for her.
 
I'm slightly disappointed that Catwoman is still so claw-heavy. I thought she'd be more of a gadget character now that Cheetah is on the roster. Her throw and super look pretty dumb, too. I'm not a fan of the "everyone arbitrarily gets a new throw for the sake of change" rule, since a bunch of characters had really cool, fitting throws in the first game.
 
I'm okay with her face as well; she still reminds me a little of Alyssa Milano.

I was also anticipating more gadget use, namely to separate her further from Cheetah. She's not going to be a character I play much though, so it doesn't bother me.
