It heavily hints at Ra´s Al Ghul. He wouldnt be the obvious next villain like Darkseid or Braniac.

With the lazarus pit in play you could also explain dead characters coming back.

Nah, mate.

It's not Ra's.

For one, Ra's Al Ghul doesn't traditionally have an American accent. He's from the Middle East.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure Bryan Cranston was referring to the literal fighting pit as seen in the trailer. The whole speech he delivers is about the sense of re-invigoration that comes with fighting your enemies, hence the tagline featured in the marketing. It's purely symbolic.

I'm absurdly confident they didn't hire Bryan Cranston to play Ra's Al Ghul of all DC characters in this game. His inclusion certainly wouldn't fit the story they're trying to tell either.

What if the narration is only for this CG trailer, just like how Wiz Khalifa had nothing to do with the actual MKX game besides the CG trailer.

Mentioned that a few posts back.

Fighting pit you say? Warworld? Mongul?

Very possible! No doubt the identity of Bryan Cranston's character (assuming he is indeed playing a character in the game, and wasn't just paid to narrate a CGI trailer) will prove to be the key.

But yeah, just because the narrator mentions "rising from the pit" at one point doesn't automatically mean Ra's Al Ghul is 100% confirmed as the villain of this game, especially if you take the time to actually listen to what the narrator is actually discussing in that little monologue (ie. how battles can define you, which is pretty much the tagline of the game itself). I really just think he's talking about a fighting pit.

Nah man. Wiz Khalifa is the secret MKX character nobody found out yet how to unlock. Ed Boon told me.

No PC? Come on man.

With Grodd and Cold, the chances of Reverse Flash being a separate character are pretty slim.

I'll still take a costume and voice pack by Wells though.

I'm hoping for some Manchester Black now. The more that I think about it, the more I think that the punkish British killer would be amazing for this universe's story mode. Plus the dude is a telekinetic who has cracked moons in half with his mind. Tell me we wouldn't have fun with an Ermac character whose visual aesthetic is Sex Pistols punk with a penchant for permanent Justice?

Dude would make an amazing roster selection. So hype right now for all the DC potential here.

And this post is uninformed.

They've not mentioned anything about microtransactions and the thread title insinuating it is really causing a shitstorm thats unwarranted at the moment. NRS does a pretty good job of listening to its FGC crowd on stuff in terms of balance and what doesn't work and since they haven't said ANYTHING about modes, how this effects them or what modes its in or how gear even works its...

Fuck its a broken record in here. I keep pointing this out over and over. Folks are front page reading, outrage culture rage dumping without any real facts to base things on and leaving aren't they?

Sigh...threads a cess pool. I quit trying to point out the same thing every page.

We got a CG trailer and generalized info that gear is involved in the game. No clue what areas. No clue if we got a for glory mode without em. No nothing. We know NOTHING so stop acting like you know everything people. We have no idea whats good or bad about this yet because we know nothing about how it actually is used.

Lol, loot drops and customization in a fighting game. Grinding + microtransactions incoming.

Warner, you've done it again!

ya this is very bad news indeed ;(

Will try to overlook for Supergirl, the ultimate DC comics waifu

Ed Boon already confirmed that there will be a means to disable the Gear mechanic entirely for online & offline play to level the playing field (for competitive purposes), so no worries.

You misspelled Zatanna.

THANK YOU!!!! Best news all day

They're actually getting female faces right now. Supergirl actually looks good in that victory pose.

Not a problem. With MKX on its last legs competitively, I don't think NRS wanted to gimp Injustice 2's competitive future.

Don't you mean Supermom?

I'd rather have Krypto than whatever lame ass guest character they end up putting in the roster

I'm still holding out hope for Ace The Bat Hound.

One of my major criticisms against NRS is the lack of character diversity. Every character in an NRS game is a bipedal humanoid of regular height. I love Marvel vs. Capcom for its wacky, left field character choices -- there's a playable wolf, raccoon, octopus monster, and so on. I'd love for Mxyzptlk, Bat-Mite, or Starro to be in Injustice, but I don't think that's ever going to happen.

When was the last time NRS had a four-legged character? Motaro maybe?

Okay. But what exactly will it do? We really don't know anything at this point and they really haven't mentioned microtransactions yet. Emphasis on the yet in case you gloss passed that part of all my posts. I mention it several times through out the thread that its not something we can rule out, but that its definitely something we haven't had confirmed at this point. In case you want to reference this post too it happens about 1 week after E3 and all we have at this point is a few play vids from E3 from IGN and an Xbox stream. In that time period though Boon did confirm their will be a base mode to play for tourney folks, but not whether it'll use no gear or only selective gear. Also that microtransactions aren't something they have decided yet and that all avenues are being looked into still.

So yeah...quote this one too for release.

Gimme a super pets DLC. I'll gladly take that over a bunch of stupid guest characters that I'll never use.

 

[LordOfLore]

Some new stuff.

Might be a good idea to make a new thread with all the currently known info?
