Wait is Scorpion seriously an upcoming DLC character?

Why the hell would they do that?

MKs 4th slot was Freddy.
I think we can take it from here on out the 4th character in these DLC packs will be a crossover of some type.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So freaking ugly, I thought the cowl was supposed to be bat inspired not some devil thing.
also looks like she went a little Hector Hammond from Green Lantern

won't get her unless she has a much better alt.

 

[Jamie OD]

Probably not Steph, though, since Didio seems to actively HATE her (and her fans).

I would have been fine with Cass or Kate, though. :\ Nothing against Babs, she was just better as Oracle.

Has the reason for this ever come to light or is it just the fanbase for Cass and Steph became a lot louder than DC ever expected and they don't see what the fuss is about?

 

[xenist]

Injustice: Batpeople among us.

 

[Pie and Beans]

She looks terrible. Her anatomy is Rob Liefeld level of nonsense.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

They have even called them toxic characters.

Barbara just sells better. She is doing like 3x what the Stephanie Brown run did.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Barbara just sells better. She is doing like 3x what the Stephanie Brown run did.

But then you have a comic like Batwing which is doing 10,000 less than Steph Batgirl and 18,000 less than Cass did.
and that still doesn't explain why they were completely written out of existence
or why higher-ups blocked multiple people from using them as supporting characters pre New52

and with Cass they even decided to go out of their way to de age her mom all the way down to Nightwings age so that she can't return for the forseeable future.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

She doesnt show enough skin for a fighting game female.
Where is the sexiness?

Batwing I'd chalk up to an attempt at diversity and brand expansion.

I can't claim to understand the reasons they've been sidelined except that they just aren't as critical to the Bat mythos. They probably wished they could have trimmed some of the Robins too, but they are just too popular to give up.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

The higher ups dont like them (Wally West, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown), nothing more, nothing less.
If you try to look for sales or revelance, it even makes less sense.

So I will go with the Geoff Johns and Dan Didio dont like them so they dont want to use those characters anymore, at least it what makes more sense right now, even if they make this two persons look like fanatic fools.

 

[Acquiescence]

Why does she look so manly? Like the female equivalent of Bruce Wayne or summat.

 

[louie]

You have to wonder how much of your identity is actually hidden with a mask that only covers your massive forehead.

 

[DR2K]

They aren't. There are decent amount of differences, but they could have chosen someone who would have played and looked radically different.

None of them mention characters even share any animation.

 

[KalBalboa]

Nice! If there's one thing the game needed, it was more Batman characters.

I'm hoping for Swamp Thing. No joke.

 

[Village]

That's like complaining about xmen characters in marvel games

actually there arent that many xmen in marvel 3 , there are more avengers actually. Because everyone in marvel seems to be on the avengers.

And yes there were too many xmen in marvel 2.

X-men

wolverine
storm
magneto
x-23
pheonix
and sometimes deadpool.


Avengers

Cap
Iron man
thor
wolverine
spiderman
hulk
storm
hawkeye
ant man cameo
she hulk
And if you count defenders, Dr.Strange

FF officially recognized or temporary members of the fantastic 4

She Hulk
Spiderman
Ghost rider
Dr.Doom

 

[Hours Left]

So there's really only one DLC character that is a complete unknown huh? Let's hope it's someone good. *coughBOOSTERGOLDcough*

 

[Slayven]

He was in the Arkham series

Solomon Grundy is a Green Lantern(Alan Scott) rogue. His body being plant base makes him more dangerous to Scott.

 

[Thores]

So wait. Does this mean that Tara Strong is voicing three Injustice characters now?

 

[rosaceadude2112]

I'm pretty sure every character design in Injustice is the worst version of that character.

 

[Green Mamba]

Would it make more sense if I told you Freddy Kreuger was the best selling MK DLC, and MK likely sold more than Injustice?

Oh I know exactly why they chose who they chose, but I will not excuse it. Fuck 'em.

Another completely unnecessary Batman character, a movie advertisement, and a fucking Mortal Kombat character. Good job, NRS.

The fourth DLC character in Mortal Kombat being a guest was relatively tolerable in comparison considering there weren't really a whole lot of Mortal Kombat characters left to add. But Scorpion getting in in place of an actual DC character? No, fuck that.

So there's really only one DLC character that is a complete unknown huh? Let's hope it's someone good. *coughBOOSTERGOLDcough*

All four are known. Lobo, Batgirl, Zod, and Scorpion.

So wait. Does this mean that Tara Strong is voicing three Injustice characters now?

Batgirl is likely going to be voiced by Kimberly Brooks, who voices Oracle in the Arkham games--she's listed in the voice credits but as of yet does not appear to be the voice of a character in the game.

 

[nailbombxx]

Why add Scorpion when Batman is pretty much the Scorpion of this game?

 

[Riposte]

Oh, the bad one.

after a psychiatrist insisted that Batman and Robin were gay, since at the time this was seen as a large negative

I think an adult man having a romantic relationship with a boy is still seen as a negative.

 

[DR2K]

Why the hell would they do that?

If you could charge people for content you made years ago, wouldn't you?

 

[10k]

She looks freaky in that pic lol. I was hoping for Robin since I'm a big Robin fan

 

[Kinyou]

She has Bruce's immense Batman forehead.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Wat.

So let's ignore all of Barbara pre-injury? And blanket judgement post?

And of course let's forgive some extremely questionable stuff from Cassandra and Stephanie. ;-)

She wasnt a good character pre-injury. Hell she hadnt been Batgirl for years preinjury.

 

[jett]

As leaked and then subsequently confirmed by the developer, because how else does DLC get announced these days?

What's wrong with your head.

What's wrong with NR's modelers.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Batwoman please.

...actually Batwoman in the Injustice art style would be an actual injustice, so Batgirl works for me

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Is it wrong that in her debut trailer, I want it to be her vs Joker?

Spoiler

With the gun and all

 

[FaintDeftone]

Boo. Give me Martian Manhunter. They even have him floating around in the background teasing us!

 

[Zephyrus]

Every (default) costume looks terrible.

yeaaaah... Cyborg, deathstroke, doomsday, Sinestro and Black Adam don't.

Catwoman and Killer Frost are fine too.

 

[DR2K]

Boo. Give me Martian Manhunter. They even have him floating around in the background teasing us!

He's probably hiding in her forehead.

 

[Schweinehund]

Martian Manhunter, Darkseid, Dr. Fate, Cheetah, Black Manta, Beast Boy would all be really great. I'm still in shock that Manhunter wasn't in the base game.

Hes in the Watchtower map

 

[Escape Goat]

she looks like a woman to me. Dat bosom.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Beast Boy would be awesome. He'd probably have the best supers.

 

[IronLich]

I understand this really stinks (Should have been Steph!), but for me I'm looking at the upside. She's most likely gonna be a combination of Catwoman and Nightwing and hey those are my 2 best characters right now. So I'm kinda optimistic at the moment.

Any word on if the DLC characters will have their own STAR Labs missions?

No word but we will find out on Tuesday how they are doing Lobo and that will be a good indication on how they will handle the rest. I am pretty sure each character is for sure getting arcade endings and alternate costumes only make sense. So yeah, STAR Labs are probably the big unknown (though also probably the least important for most people).

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Batwoman (Katherine Kane) was a character introduced in the 1950's after a psychiatrist insisted that Batman and Robin were gay, since at the time this was seen as a large negative, and secondarily because the "Superman family" was proving popular in the Superman comics.

Batgirl (Betty Kane) followed up shortly as Batwoman's niece, but was fairly quickly replaced by Barbara Gordon, who is Commissioner Gordon's daughter. She was then proceeded to be replaced by lots of other Batgirls, but the one in the OP is her.

There's also the modern Batwoman, Kate Kane who was kicked out of the military on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" grounds and is romantically involved with Gotham PD's Renee Montoya. She became inspired after Batman swooped in for the rescue just after she finished beating up a mugger who was attacking her, and decided to put her military training to use with her father's assistance as Batwoman:

[slightconfuse]

Really no booster gold or beast boy or black cannery.

Also LOOOL real hard at scorpion as a DLC character

 

[Penguin]

I think Black Canary would have been interesting.. isn't there an MK character who already does the sonic scream?

 

[WrenchNinja]

Yeah, Sindel I think

 

[G-Fex]

She's not quite Yvonne Craig

 

[Kai Dracon]

Freddy Krueger in MK9 made sense as a guest 'cause he fit the universe as if made for it, and nobody had ever seen Freddy in a fighter. It was a great novelty.

Scorpion in Injustice seems beyond redundant. I can't believe it was Boon's suggestion. Smells like execs at WB looking for a tie-in to a very successful prior title.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

It should have been Zatanna.

They fucked up straight off the bat by using the wrong Freddy.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Honestly, it didn't bother me since Freddy didn't have a lot of lines in the game. No chance for Robert's Freddy to shine anyway.

 

[Winterfang]

With that face and body, is better to have it covered up.

 

[fader]

MINUE FIVE STARS!

We do NOT need another Batman w/ boobs...

what a waste of DLC...
