I would prefer The Batman Joker, and that one was kinda whack.
Personally not sure how I feel about sticking anything from the Nolan-verse into this game.

Wouldn't be any more out of place than Scorpion.
EB: LOL! Its UN-holy Hell.

Emperor Joker could be a fun costume
Not directly, no, but I'm willing to bet that Martian Manhunter will headline a second wave of downloadable characters based on the countless hints and references made over the last few months. I don't think I have some superhuman ability to read between the lines, but it's easy for me to infer which of Boon's Tweets are jokes and which are legitimate -- I've never felt misled or "betrayed" by him, though I know there are people who have. With that said, all of the MMH stuff strikes me as sincere.
NRS used Comic-Con 2011 as their big venue to announce the Freddy Krueger DLC; I think they'll use this year's Comic-Con to announce Martian Manhunter as the first character from a new set of four.
I wonder how the tourney scene for this game will be like. It's got both Capcom and MK players, and I feel like the fighting game fundamentals and philosophies are different enough between the two groups that the top players for Injustice will be a bit of a toss up.
Though I feel like the predominant Capcom guys like ChrisG will have the edge...

Injustice is more Capcom-friendly than Mortal Kombat, and the game is still fresh. Justin Wong won the first MK tournament sponsored by PDP way back when.
That's what people said about Mirror Master, Captain Cold, and Robin, too.
That would be fucking sweet. If Bat-Mite popped in and out over his shoulder I'd pay 5 dollars. 5 dollars! And I don't even play Batman in the game.
Same on all accounts. Give it to me NRS!
The one thing I dislike about NetherRealm is that they tend to avoid wacky and/or small characters. I just know a Capcom DC fighter would have Bat-Mite or Mxyzptlk as a playable character.
It's beautiful. And a nod to the best run on Batman ever.
Yeah, they try to be too serious. That's why I like Green Arrow (and I suppose Harley to a degree) in this game as he's really the only light-hearted character.
It's why I want to see Booster Gold or Plasticman though. Someone to lighten up the mood a bit.
My man.
OH I don't think any of them will ever playable, they just look like the suit the universe is all.
They could go with the big ones, like Crisis and Kingdom Come.

MK players will take the game more serious and body the Capcom players. That's how it's going now.
That's a bold call lol. Lets see how EVO and other tourneys play out. I'm genuinely curious.

Chris G will break the game and own everyone until NRS nerfs whoever he uses.

Just like MK you'll see them in early majors in the top 16 but their main focus will be Marvel/SF4. This is a MK players game.

That's what happened with MK. By the end of summer 2011 all the Capcom guys like Justin and Valle had stopped playing and were washed up. Only Chris G remained.
Not sure if we can use MK9 as a frame of reference. Injustice has mechanics that are definitely more Capcom-fighter-friendly, so I don't think it will be as black and white.

There's no way we can make that call.
Is it probable? Sure. But the allegiances to playing a game isn't based solely on the company that made it.
Factors are:
Viewership popularity.
Money.
"Hype".
Personal enjoyment.
etc.
MK9 was quickly shunned by Capcom players, I can easily see why as I never bothered to adapt to it myself. On the other hand, Injustice's future is much more in the dark, it can go either way.

Once people figure out first place is impossible in marvel they just might spend less time playing it.
New 52, Kingdom Come, Blackest Night, more Flashpoint, Golden Age/Silver Age/classic (depending on the character), more Elseworlds, multiverse (Crime Syndicate for example), etc., etc.. Really they could mine most of the major events and stories for alt costumes.

Well so far they're not doing well. Chris G has already lost to REO, Brady and CD Jr and he's the best hope. Capcom vs. MK community isn't very hype now unless they step up.
To me the most hype thing about Injustice now is UFGT. That is the first true tournament. So far it's been a bunch of locals and regionals and we haven't seen the different top MK scenes play each other. EVERYONE is coming to UFGT. West Coast(Tyrant, Wound Cowboy, MIT/DJT), South(Pig of the Hut), East Coast(REO and Brady), and Midwest will be there(GGA and Perfect Legend).
GGA has been training hard and I'm very confident in us...but it's the wild west now. Anything can happen.
This is particularly the case since Injustice got the 9th spot for EVO. I know a few guys didn't even bother with the game until this announcement.
Capcom players are quick to grasp any fighting game because of their fundamentals, but in my opinion they have been slow to grasp the concepts of Injustice. The players who have shown strongest playing to the strengths of the Injustice system are REO, Tom Brady and Perfect Legend. These three are godlike MK9 players but more importantly, they are intelligent fighting game players, focusing on both 2D and 3D games (REO plays Third Strike, Tom Brady plays Tekken and PL plays DOA and SFIV). As far as tournament footage I've seen, it's been from Next Level, Civil War, and Toryuken streams. There are guys, testers even, who have not hit full potential with their characters or within Injustice's system. I'm not saying they will not, I'm simply saying they have not yet. Arturo admits he hasn't, but he plays three characters in Injustice and a ton of other fighting games. It's okay for a particular player to not be at their peak playing this game, but it is the truth.
I haven't seen offline footage of any Midwest/West Coast players since the demo so I can't judge those guys. Players seem to be on the right track investigating their characters but I'm surprised so few players are so far along. With how much Injustice rewards traditional fighting game fundamentals thanks to directional blocking and how convenient it is to study with the inclusion of frame data, it's a shame people are so stuck on building combos. I see many players failing to poke correctly, spending meter wastefully and failing to punish correctly. Capcom players will need to learn to manipulate Injustice's system and MK9 players need to learn how to move and defend with directional blocking.
Given that the game has almost been out a month, how are people feeling about interactibles?
I personally really like them, but I don't like watchtower with the frequent respawning flying bots. A zoner on the right side of the screen can be a nightmare to fight when they get positioned well.

I feel they're fine except respawning ones and the pig
I feel the same. I think Ferris has too many though. Just let the pig be duckable or something.

I really like them and feel they add a lot. Only ones that aren't great are the endlessly respawning robots in Watchtower, Hall of Justice (outside), and Metropolis (Rooftop). They should really decrease the spawn rate on those, at least.
All the rest that you can use multiple times (missiles in Ferris or Batmobile in Batcave, for example) have sufficient cooldowns.
The pig is fine because you need to actually bring the battle there in order to take advantage of it. If you don't want to deal with it don't go there and don't let the opponent lead you there. Map awareness is just another part of this game as that applies to every interactable in every stage as well as transition spots.

Don't like them at all, even though they have gotten me out of a few hairy situations. I'd be okay with them if you could only use them once. Stages like Watchtower can get really annoying. Try to pick stages with as few interactibles as possible.
