So was Injustice worth taking seriously as a fighting game unlike Mortal Kombat? Should I play the first one to catch up on the story?

I'm a little out of the loop, but did I read somewhere that there is a preorder exclusive character?

they kept the boob window. Good
Injustice is great fun, especially if you're a DC fan.

Yes. We've seen it before.
Flash's new suit. Pretty bad.
It's miles better than the Injustice 1 outfit, which admittedly isn't saying a whole hell of a lot.
Yes, he's revealed at the end of the trailer this thread revolves around.

Nah, that wouldn't make any sense at all. Flash/Zoom, Supergirl/Power Girl, and Hal/John all have the same (or very similar) abilities, whereas Bane is a pro wrestler high on Venom and Swamp Thing controls plant life. Their only similarity is that they're big and strong.
Considering their powers are completely different, I'd hope not.
yeah but I mean, it's Superman...it's like hitting a rockwall with a cotton swab.
Swamp Thing would be an alternate of Poison Ivy if anything.

This is Netherrealm. Their character designs never evolved past the 90s.
You know, when Gambit's stupid non-mask was a thing.
And when Superman wore this for some reason:

A little Bat heavy but he is the money maker.
Darkseid, Brainiac, and Grodd are some killer villains. Plus, Captain Cold and Joker are likely in.
As a Hawk Girl and Grundy main in Injustice 1, I am getting worried I'll have to start over. Hawgirl's potential build is so unique, I'm not sure who could replicate it if shes not in.

I find it perfectly constructive to state as many times as necessary that I'm unwilling to pay $60 for 3/4 of a game and then X more money to get the rest of the game piecemeal. I want all the content on the disc Day 1 at a reasonable price. Instead of dismissing it as a shitpost, why not state why you disagree? And if people don't disagree, I encourage people to vote with their wallets as I do and not passively accept this shitty business practice.
That wouldn't work either. Swamp Thing is most likely a standalone character. He's waaaaay bigger than Poison Ivy, whose animations will probably be somewhat seductive. A tiny, sexualized Swamp Thing would be hilarious.

I stopped trying to apply logic to the DC universe years ago haha
Meh, I think your post was a valid point and I do agree that all this DLC stuff is getting out of hand now.
However - I'd rather buy the vanilla game and enjoy it as soon as it's out and just forego all the DLC than wait even longer to play it with all the DLC added.

The fact that premium skins exist again means that there's potential for a lot of DC characters to make it in, even if they're only palette swaps.
Also, "The Society"? I wonder if that's Grodd's angle in this story.

I am sure this game will be good, and I am interested in it. But there's so much nickel and diming going on. And you know there will be a complete version anyways. I don't get why anyone would buy this day 1 between 9 dlc characters, 3 (possibly more) variant character skins, and a pre order only character.

I want to be interested in this game but Injustice soured me. Game just felt janky and linking attacks is so much worse than something like Street Fighter, Tekken, or DOA. It didn't feel fluid at all. I hope they release a demo.
He's probably going to be DLC at this point unfortunately ;_;

That Robin costume...

Because people actually play the game to play against other people, and don't want to wait over a year for that?
Yo those three HQ key arts make for perfect phone backgrounds. Right under the time on the iOS lock screen by default.
Because the dumb twist is up and they don't have to reskin Nightwing
Swamp Thing looks like this in Injustice comic.
I think he'll be Grundy primiere skin more like.

That's assuming Grundy makes it in.
Hopefully not. Personally, that's a cut I wouldn't mind happening.
I get the sentiment, but if you wanted "all the DLC" day one, that day one would be sometime in 2018. It's not realistic. When developing a game there is a roadmap, and you have to cap the content at some point to meet a release window or the game will never release.
Fighting games now get support over multiple years, which includes balance updates. That requires money/staff, and new content helps that. That also keeps the game alive for the people that actively play the game online and want a long, sustained userbase. I'm happy they cater to those people rather than those who might typically just buy a "complete" game, mess around with it for a while, then dump it in their backlog.

Is Supergirl being controlled by Brainiac?
That's fine, but just don't be surprised when they keep dissecting the games further and further. When people accept this, these companies just say to themselves "let's see how much more they'll accept" and they'll keep siphoning until the blowback is so great they can't ignore it. I'd prefer that blowback to happen now and not X years from now when god knows what these companies will be able to convince people an acceptable standard for a $60 game is.
Look harder.
