I'm thinking, unlike the MK demo, the Injustice demo is going to be representative of the final game. We'll have to wait for the "Gone gold" announcement to be sure, or perhaps we'll be told whether or not the demo represents the final version of those characters.

Just read through Red Son, really cool stuff. Any DC gem suggestions?

Kingdom Come, The New Frontier, The Dark Knight Returns and All-Star Superman should be your next ports of call on that front.

I've read all of those except for The New Frontier! I will check it out

or watch the movies.
Enjoy! One of my favorite Justice League stories.
(Well, it's more a Green Lantern/Martian Manhunter story, but the gang's all there!)
First two issues of his series have been pretty enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to the big multiverse teases they've given for it. But that scene in JLA was my favorite of the month.

Kingdom Come costumes would be great for DLC. Get on it.
Haha I loved that scene. I was surprised that Vibe ended up being my favorite character next to Green Arrow in the comic.
Are you the same Fhiz who runs Gotham Spoilers? If so, I dig the site.
well looks like i'm getting it then. I strangely found the single player campaign fantastic for MK. It was the best told story in a fighting ever and surpasses even some AAA games.
I was there for a while. I got kinda bored since most people just kinda complained all the time. I'd much rather discuss the things I like about comics rather than the things I don't like.
Also that superman laser is straight up scary.
Alfred bows to no man, even Superman.

When I read that I audibly went "OOOOOOOH! DAMN!". Just that awesome of a setup and delivery for that serve.

^You mean TPBs that collect the comic? You may be waiting for a while as DC takes a LONG time to release TPBs of their series.
Heck Smallville is getting it's first TPB in a few weeks time and that series has been out for a year now!
Wonder how he'd feel if Batman were the one doing the policing =V

The Injustice comics are being collected and sold as physical copies every couple weeks. Beyond that, comics are regularly sold in hard and softcover editions pretty much anywhere online.Any place that sells all comics together? Or a possible hardcover with eveyrthing..or something? I'd like them, but don't want to buy them by separate.
He'd do exactly what Bruce is doing: brood and complain, but do nothing till it's too late.

I still think this is the more telling scene (thanks Tizoc) from the issue:
Poor Superman. In Kingdom Come, Batman got on your case because you were apparently too "lax". But here in this Injustice continuity, you're being decidedly more proactive, and you're STILL wrong in Bats' eyes.
Superman just can't win, and Batman is ALWAYS right, no matter what~! We get it, DC.
This is a really fun read:

I wanted to write up something similar, but time constraints for other things made me think otherwise. I wanted to write down anecdotes on how media such as TV shows, movies, rival companies, etc have influenced the popularity of characters i.e. Robin, Batman, and Aquaman, and why those things had an effect on the roster for Injustice. Gavok did a good job though, fun read and a good synopsis of events that bridge the gap of knowledge for those who don't really follow comics.

I'll give this a read. Been reading comics for the first time ever since DC started their new 52, but I'm still interested in what came before.
One thing that might be fun for the OT is having some suggestions for stories people could read if they get interested in this character or that one. Just one or two storylines or ogn's those most familiar with the characters would recommend. It's likely to come up during the thread anyway; it'd be a nice courtesy to have it right there in the OP.

I could help with that, I know good stories featuring most of the cast.
Except Killer Frost.
Watch the first day of the PAX East show when Arturo & Josh are in Training mode. Green Lantern's ring capture is unblockable, not only the anti-air one but the ground one as well.
You are killing it with OT ideas.
Also I could probably help with a few. I could double help if you expanded recommendations to episodes of DC cartoons.
Justice League's "Hereafter" is still one of the best Superman stories of all time

Grundy looks so damn fun to me, but as a character I prefer bane. Banes super looks stale and he seems more like a striker than a grappler, but there just isn't enough media out there yet to say for sure.
I need more content ASAP

In addition I think some Justice League/DC essential stories like Kingdom Come should be added to that list
I was going to suggest the shows in their entirety, but if everyone would rather limit it to just specific episodes, that would be cool too.
And "Hereafter" is freaking amazing.
Agreed.
I was thinking this:
1. Cartoons and movies
2. General Justice League stories
3. Character specific stories
I don't know how much space that would take up. I certainly wouldn't want it to monopolize the OT. (It is supposed to be about the game after all)
I'm not sure if I want to take this approach -- not because it's a bad idea, but like you said, it doesn't really have anything to do with Injustice as a game. I always roll my eyes as I scroll through window-stretching, tome-length OTs that read like the obsessed ramblings of a madman. I like being able to go in, get a feel for the game, and hope that any questions I might have are already answered. I don't know -- there's just something about ultra-intricate OTs that scream "look at me!" and rub me the wrong way.
That's not to say the OT will be completely barebones or anything, I'd just prefer to keep it focused on the game.

I agree, it should be focused on the game. I think most people will know most of these characters (which is part of why these are the characters on the roster opposed to others). Listing some of their "good stories" or episodes or whatever seems pointless in an OT.

Why is there such little content(hands on gameplay that isn't the devs) to watch when the game releases in less than 20 days?
Trust me, some of us have been bitching about this very thing for months. We did finally get some decent footage from PAX, particularly on day 3, so go check that out.
We're also getting a demo in a few days, so you can try it out for yourself. Three characters (Batman/Wonder Woman/Lex Luthor), one stage, presumably close to final build.

The stuff from arturo and nerd josh?
Yes. That and some ancient stuff from NYCC and/or some blurry footage from Europe using the NYCC build is basically all there is when it comes to real, non-edited non-combo footage. Sucks, don't it?
Played this at Wondercon today. No playable Ares or Killer Frost (the game is like 2 weeks away from release? Why keep them this hidden), but did try out Raven and Black Adam. I cheesed out people with Ravens long range "fireballs" and her super doesn't connect easily for some reason. Me and the multiples I saw play her behind me couldn't land it for some reason. Bane was quicker than I thought he would be, but I don't think he has any Zangief style spinning pile drivers as I was '360-ing' that stick and nothing was going down. Everyone, their brother, and their kids were playing as Batman. Foreshadowing for online I'll bet
AKingNamedPaul

Yea, it does. I only want to see bane or Grundy. Guess I'll just force myself to stop thinking about this game for a few days.
I don't know: MvC3 had plenty of well known characters, and the thread still had people asking for suggestions for things to read. That's where I came up with the idea. Plus, the general feeling I get is that while people recognize these characters, knowledge of them outside of Batman and Superman is pretty low.
I think if whoever is making the OT can figure out how to implement it without it taking up too much space - which is my main concern as well - there's no harm in it.
NRS doesn't use 360 motions, his command grabs are probably QCF.
I saw a youtube video of someone playing Bane at Wondercon, and ya, he does seem a lot faster then I thought he would be.

There are a few more gameplay videos here (Without audio):

But yes, NRS marketing has been pretty bad and intentionally secretive for really dumb/no good reasons. The Battle Arena is pretty much the only good marketing they have done so I am guessing it was a suggestion from someone else at DC or WB or something.
Marvel has a much larger cast which includes many more obscure characters though. I think it's probably unnecessary can just be answered within the topic if people ask. The thread should be about the game primarily, not the sources it pulls from. It's up to Ryce either way.

Marvel's(side) cast was smaller than Injustice. 19 Marvel characters initially, featering characters no one really wanted such as Tenticle monster, Female Hulk, Female Wolverine, the wrong guy with the arrows, lazy ass F4 villian, floating head followed by the loser edition of course featuering a Racoon, Kung Fu dude no one wanted, etc. . .
I'm surprised with how well their roster selection is, a lot of fan favorites and big name characters with 1 or 2 obscure picks.
