Wow, so much hate for the boob window makes me sad. I think people need to go read the Conner/Palmiotti run on Power Girl. She owns that boob window. The new 52 costume is horrible.
That being said, as long as she's in the game I'll take what I can get.
When people were mentioning Ares, Aquaman, Black Adam, Shazam, Sinestro, and Doomsday, Boon was quick to say not every character that appears in the story mode will be playable. Later even said there would be a lot of Cameos.
However, out of those characters, they have all been hinted at as being playable.
In the article the dude said they really wanted to make Aquaman and Ares likable, they wouldn't do that if they weren't playable.
Boon said Sinestro or Atroctius would be a playable character, and realistically there is no reason to have Sinestro show up in the story mode unless he is playable, he doesn't exactly chill on earth a lot.
Doomsday is on the stick, and Boon asked if people wanted him playable and then posted a smiley face.
So that just leaves Black Adam and Shazam, and it would be weird if only one of them would be playable, since one could just easily be an alt costume for the other.
All in all, NRS/Boon are just assholes and should reveal characters like every other sane dev on the planet.
Game doesn't come out til April. The reveals so far have been fine you have a general idea of the majority of the roster.
Will wait quietly for some visual confirmation on Raven. All we need now is some Lobo even if it is DLC form.
im gonna main deathstroke for sure, this game better make EVO id love to see those matches
Aquaman isn't that popular at all. To me he's a minor character like Green-Arrow, Hawk-Eye and Quicksilver. That's why they keep giving him a reboot to boost sales; changing his image, powers etc. At one point he was a hairy old man with a hook for his hand. He's more of a Justice League character doesn't sell nearly as many comics on his own.Eh, when was the last time any DC character had a movie in theaters other than Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern?
Really poor metric to gauge popularity.
There is no way Aquaman is a lesser known character. Even if it's just to make fun of him, many know who he is.

The Boob window has been gone since the New 52 launch.
Aquaman is popular. Just because he can't carry a series on his own doesn't mean that people aren't aware of him. Ask a random person on the street if they know who Aquaman is and they will probably be able to tell you. You wouldn't get the same response to most comic characters.
IIRC, Boon specifically mentioned Lobo as one of the characters who wouldn't fit in the standard roster but would make for great DLC.Will wait quietly for some visual confirmation on Raven. All we need now is some Lobo even if it is DLC form.
Still wish Plastic Man and Guy Gardner were in this. The amount of videos/actual info has seemed to trickle down and its closer to release
Yeah, Aquaman is pretty well-known, a good amount of people know him in one form or another--though most of them probably think of him as a joke. He's parodied and mentioned in so many different shows/movies that he's possibly more well-known than Green Lantern, despite the movie having recently come out.
Man Plastic Man would've been so dope. Like the lethal joke character of the game.
Brushed up on his powers. "Possible" immortality? Never been put to the test? haha.Man Plastic Man would've been so dope. Like the lethal joke character of the game.
So ya, Raven is a thing, she looks like a Night elf wearing lingerie, maybe, it's kinda hard to make her out.
Her hand is glowing with pinkish energy, so there not going straight TT cartoon Raven.
Will be weird hearing Tara Strong's voice come out of very grown up ass Raven.
Just read the first issue of the Injustice comic book. Looking quite nice. I'll need to read up on the story mode for the game. Is there a story mode? This game has been off my radar so I'm just now giving it attention.

So going by magazine confirmations the roster now appears to be: (still assuming at least 12 villains and 12 heroes)
Heroes (11 or 12/12)
- Superman
- Batman
- The Flash
- Wonder Woman
- Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
- Aquaman
- Cyborg
- Green Arrow
- Nightwing
- Raven
- Captain Marvel/Shazam
- Martian Manhunter?
Villains (11 or 12/12)
- Lex Luthor
- Doomsday
- The Joker
- Bane
- Catwoman
- Harley Quinn
- Deathstroke
- Solomon Grundy
- Sinestro
- Black Adam
- Ares
- Captain Cold?
Also included two heavily rumoured ones in question marks. Could this be the game's full base roster? It seems to be we definitely at least know 24 characters, maybe the base roster is actually larger than 24 (although that has been the number we have been going off of thus far).
Link?
Link?
The only thing that's off about this roster is that there's only one female on that list that hasn't had an official reveal, and Boon mentioned a couple days ago that we'd be seeing "more girls" plural.
My theory is that Black Adam is playable, but Shazam/Marvel isn't. His slot on the heroes side is then filled by either Black Canary or Power Girl.
Yeah, Aquaman is pretty well-known, a good amount of people know him in one form or another--though most of them probably think of him as a joke. He's parodied and mentioned in so many different shows/movies that he's possibly more well-known than Green Lantern, despite the movie having recently come out.
We can blame Super Friends for that. As all he did in that show was telekinetic talk to fish. Unless you read comics, you don't know that Aquaman has super human strength and agility, thick skin (think that's all Atlantians though), and hydrokenesis (control of water). Hell, don't even think that show mentions him being a king. But hey, it's the same show that gave wonder woman, someone who could already fly, an invisible jet.
They have a model and some style. Dlc at worstYup saw a picture of Raven. And she's pretty purple lol
Well she's in it, but idk if she's playable. I'll go find the youtube of the reveal.
Here's the video of Raven. Also show a stage as well
But he also states that the injustice comic is getting RAVE reviews right before that. Knowing Boon, Raven is probably in.boon just addressed about raven saying not all characters in the game are playable

Black Adam and Shazam will make me happier than anything else.
Hopefully the game is stacked with unloackables and alt costumes
Aquaman is to superheroes as Dan Hibiki is to fighting games.
RT ‏@PJCowart @noobde hey can we stop treating injustice like a CIA mission and get some reveals! EB: You're right & we are working on it.
