Finally! The MKII remake we all want!
It has it's uses, the button was used for some characters special moves in MKX and is great for mind games in MK9. But, yeah, it'll probably be back since I believe it has something to do with the way the engine works.
Bane or Killer Croc would probably be a good fit.

Just thinking, BvS Batman or Man Of Steel Superman could work too.
Problem was certain combos were also stand specific, which is stupid. There's no way that feature can't be removed, I still find it funny that MKX doesn't have a button for running because it has to be used for stand switching.
It's not really a part of the engine, it's just a side effect of how they choose to animate their characters. They really like having the different "stances" so they can have moves transition from back facing to front facing to create a more natural look.
At least that's the excuse Paulo gave.
They don't actually need the button, they just kinda like it at this point, and I guess in the random case of hitboxes only working against one stance.
Hector even joked about it during the launch of MK9 that they kept forgetting to remove the stance button until it was too late and they shipped the game.
Stance button had nothing to do with not having a run button, it was a very deliberate gameplay choice.
I don't think that KP3 is happening.
Somebody drops the name Martha, Batman loses his shit and murders people.

Didn't he stopped killing Superman when he said Martha?

I hope they have a better art-style. Never liked the original Injustice games artstyle, not even a bit.
Black Canary played a pretty huge role in the injustice comics so I'm suprised she didn't show up in the game. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that happens for the second one.

I'd love it if they did something more like the mainline comics, but knowing them, it'll be gritty as fuck.

Are you sure? A lot of character models in UE3 games that were aiming to be realistic looking, tended to have the kind of square jaws you'd only see on people who took HGH.That has nothing to do with the engine though.

Maybe we'll get lucky and WB will force them to switch to UE4 so the can use it as a selling point, and NRS will be unable to reuse any code and will have to redo their input reading and hit detection and character movement and combo system code!
This is definitely shaolin monks 2

For some reason I thought this was Project Justice 2. It was only recently I realized this is the DC Comics game.

Boon is having way too much fun teasing. Especially using BTB&TB Aquaman
Improvements should be made for this game:
-Decent looking character models
-Interesting environments
-Good art style
-Interesting rooster with characters like Booster Gold,Starfire,Spectre etc.
-A better move set for Superman.He was the most boring character to play in first game.

They share stuff they've made to save time and costs, but is not an UE3 thing; just modeling on their side.
I think it could probably go either way.
My hope is that especially after the backlash from BvS, which only intensified accusations of WB/DC being "too gritty", "unfun" and "taking itself too seriously" outside of comics, they won't be afraid to let Netherrealm make the sequel at least somewhat more colorful.
Y'know, I actually wouldn't mind if they did a little bit of "Batman deconstruction" for once in this type of thing. The previous game and comic book storyline was open season for Supes, so I think it would only be fair for Bats to get his turn.
But realistically, there's likely no reason for DC's Golden Boy to be portrayed in such a way, and if his arcade mode ending was anything to go by:
Injustice!Batman wouldn't necessarily be Batman anymore, anyway, unless things really hit the fan again.

They did a good job with the stages last time.
Superman's moveset was just right -- that's how he fights. He was godlike before they nerfed him.

The thing is, this is still NRS and NRS is going to make an NRS game. NRS does not want to make anything less violent or gritty.
Batman on the Mobius chair is the Batgod villain Batman could be. It's the all knowing Batman that will try to stop a crime before the person even thinks of doing it. You can read the recent Justice League: Darkseid War to see him in action. He's pretty great.

First game was on Wii U.
Loved the first one.
My only gripes. The walk speed was WAY too slow.
I wish they didn't stick with the MK model where practically all characters have a projectile as well as having projectiles that are so damn hard to jump over. Also full screen instant projectiles (raven's attack, aquaman's attack) doesn't make the game fun.
Combos are way too long. One touch and it's a 10 second long combo.
Other than these things I love the game. I love superheroes and they graphics for this game was amazing.
I'm not a fan of MVC game mechanics at all. I wish they made a marvel game similar o this or street fighters style.

2 for sure.
That's neat, haha.
Injustice 2 or MK11.
But it's most likely Injustice 2. Besides it barely looks like 11.

Hope we finally get a Bane that is more in line with his original version of the comics or Tom Hardy's version in The Dark Knight Rises. Most of his appearances in games (and the Batman and Robin movie lingering in the mainstream conciousness) portray him as a huge superhuman brute, whereas at the start he was similar to Batman, a human in peak condition (although slightly enhanced by Venom) while also possessing a keen intellect which allowed him to plot the whole Knightfall thing. I know in a game where characters battle the likes of Supes and Flash this will be a little unlikely, but that's a pet peeve I always had when it comes to Bane's portrayal in media outside of the comics.

That would be a cool idea or something with the Crime Syndicate.

I don't mind the dark and dourness of Injustice's design (or DC in general these days), it was the specific way that it was interpreted by NRS's artists that I hope gets revamped. Characters were way overdesigned, too much or an armor/cybernetic look. I would like to see something that is a little more outside of NRS wheelhouse artistically. Spread dem wings, designers!
The comic sold like hot-cakes, so NRS is likely at least aware of it.
Even so, like someone said earlier, it really says something when MK9 and MKX both come off as having more in the way of vibrant color than the game they made in between did.
And as anybody who has read a DC comic in recent years can attest, just because it's much more colorful doesn't mean it'll be any less gritty. The Injustice comics were arguably more violent and grim than the game was, if only because the over-the-top violence and death put even the game to shame.
It's 100% Injustice 2. MKvDC was an experiment that didn't make fans of either franchise happy.
