Can people summarize who was on what side in the first injustice and what happened in general, story wise.

This is honestly more detailed than most can probably remember from 4 years ago

I can't play MvC. It's way too fast and there's way too much poo poo happening at any second, so I'm glad Injustice plays at a speed I can comprehend and participate in

Why the heck would they pay to have the actress come and voice a TV show skin when nobody watches the TV show?

They likely would pay her normal VA wage, and it's promotion for the show. They did the same thing for Arrow in Injustice 1

My favorite thing about Arkham Knight was two things: dragging the batmobile up the side of buildings via grappling hook in the most hilariously overwrought example of an enforced gameplay mechanic, and the fact that anyone even basically familiar with the source material knew exactly who the Arkham Knight was from the moment of his introduction and having to endure a whole game's worth of conceited "who could this mystery man POSSIBLY BE?!" right up to the very end. Wasn't the mystery of his identity one of the big marketing points leading up to the game's release?

Anyway, agreeing that having the Joker return in any way would feel like a cop out.

The best part was that they were talking about a person the games had never talked about before and then you're supposed to be surprised that's who was under the helmet.

The actual idea wasn't awful, but the execution was. Between that and the Batmobile poo poo, it really bummed me out. I loved that franchise.

Is it bad of me that I want Talion (from Shadow of Mordor/War) as a guest character?

I mean it'd be as much of a lovely mismatch as Scorpion was in Injustice 1 so whatevs

Bonus points if you put him in the season pass and keep your most popular characters separate like last time too

The MKX comic prequel wasn't the best thing, but it did build up Kotal Kahn as this supreme badass antihero with a tragic edge that the game never truly jibed with. Though I did like how some of the endings flipped the script and made it seem like Kotal would become the new protagonist by having him defend Outworld against an invading Raiden via Mortal Kombat.


Hamill even reprised the role in Justice League Unlimited, giving us one of the show's best scenes.

"Hey, after you finish your drink, turn yourself in."

"Got me again, Flash!"

He also plays the OG Trickster in the new live action Flash

Jessica Cruz is going to be in the mobile game, so id assume she'll be a premium skin in the console version

No shocker Joker confirmed. Rumour of story mode branching paths confirmed as well.

Without knowing the hidden trophies, seems like an easy enough plat.

It really makes me happy there isn't a "get 1000 points in KOTH" trophy because that was pure hell in MKX where the entire player base was zero-pointing dickholes

My vote for goon group name is "Goon tube"

Oh, I thought it was because they used Rusch in season 1 and had him say that he was getting out of town.

I don't think they ever used the Rusch guy. The first few apearances in Flash, it was Robbie, but then the actor bailed.

My first time digitally preording in a long while (PS4) - will there be a pre-load at some point before Monday night? The first Injustice I believe was over 40 GB.

It's 5/14 for the preload. If you go to your purchases tab in your library there's an option in there to automatically preload
