Hey, that's how the kids do it.

Damn I'm going to have to get this game now.
Good stuff, I'm excited.
I voted for the Flash though because he can tap into the speed force.
I voted for the Joker just because Lex is a tad more boring. Though it's overwhelmingly clear that Lex would win without a doubt. There aren't any what-ifs about it if it's an arena match.

Debatable. Since the Flash can control the speed force, he can increase his mass to near infinite levels, and a punch from that could even overwhelm Superman. He's just heavily nerfed in situations where the writers see fit, and OP in situations where they need him to be. As is with all of the heroes.
I feel that Captain Marvel's ability to fly would end up being the big reason why he wins that fight, personally. Flash would have to reach him first.
Because only minions and red shirts wear helmets. Duh.
his face is iconic and recognizable. The Armor is not.

Reach him first?
The moment he starts flying Flash has already started to beat him up. Flash is so ridiculously overpowered. Dude is faster than motherfucking teleporters.
And boooo, disappointed the DLC skin is the same one this week.

Looks like we'll see some new stages on Friday.
Looks like Themyscira and Crime Alley.
Pretty sure these are all the stages we know of so far:
Metropolis
Fortress of Solitude
The Bat Cave
Arkham Asylum
Gotham City/Crime Alley*
Wayne Manor*
The Watchtower
Ferris Air Force Base*
Themyscira*
* = Stages we haven't seen full matches on yet
4 out of 9 stages are Batman so far too, possibly 5 if Gotham City and Crime Alley are actually separate.

Awesome! Really great to see a lot of bits of information. 
I'm not sure if i'll be interested in Shazam, from seeing what I did. But I hope i'm wrong. He was my main character in MKvDC. T-T
And Joker is looking ruthless, no doubt! Definitely cannot wait to see more gameplay from him.

This is just too perfect. Somebody get on this Quick!
Well I assume they both come dressed and ready for combat. Captain Marvel is Captain Marvel (not Billy Batson) and Flash has already come dressed in the costume (doesn't have to pop it out of his ring thing).
Wouldn't Shazam have flown to the battle? Already being in the sky? That's all I am saying.
There's also Stark Labs, right?
S.T.A.R Labs. I am not sure if that has been shown yet.

Okay, quick question! Does anyone else think Shazam looks like Bruce Campbell? I seriously see Bruce Campbell.

Lol at that guy.

You guys are right, it was in the story trailer. So the list is actually:
Metropolis (Superman)
Fortress of Solitude (Superman)
The Bat Cave (Batman)
Arkham Asylum (Batman)
Gotham City/Crime Alley* (Batman)
Wayne Manor* (Batman)
The Watchtower (Justice League)
Ferris Air Force Base* (Green Lantern)
Themyscira* (Wonder Woman)
S.T.A.R. Labs* (Superman)
* = Stages we haven't seen full matches on yet
Shazam beats Flash, no doubt. Flash could beat Shazam, but only in a suprise move. Given that both enter the arena ready to fight, Billy will be turned beforehand. Flash never stood a chance.
Joker vs Lex will be close, but I think Joker's got this one. Lex is predictable and relies on his weapons too much. Joker is a psycho and can improvise like there's no tomorrow. Counter his gun and he'll counter your counter with his gasbombs. Counter his gasbombs, he'll rip your eye out with a fork. That's how Joker fights.

I got the PSN theme last week but chose to get the Green Arrow DLC costume for 360. Can I choose the 360 Avatar shirt and the PS3 GA DLC costume for voting this week?
Loving what I'm seeing of Captain Marvel/Shazam. Already got who I wanted in the game (Nightwing) so everything else is icing on the cake.

O__o damn, this argument is infallible.
Also, that gif is GOOD. Add some text, it will be valuable.

They did, it's the announcement video for the week. Gameplay videos will be on Friday. (Wish I could change the topic title to reflect that)
In other news, another Paris Exhibition match, Green Arrow vs Flash:

So, when they said we'd be getting a new reveal for a character, did it already happen or are we still waiting?

It was Shazam. His "reveal" last week was an accident.
Troubled Bat
Member
I knew it. Oh well, i'm still excited to at least see more of him. The match-video will decide if will use him or not.
Well just as well, the only character in this new set we have seen before is the Flash. Plenty to look forward to come friday.

Shazam was the reveal. We already knew about him from magazines and the fact they accidentally uploaded his picture last week but they hadn't officially revealed him. So yeah...
There are other characters we know are in but they haven't actually shown yet (and thus could be considered reveals in the future when they mention that). Here is where we basically stand on the rest of the roster:
Confirmed Even Without Official Reveal (100% chance being playable)
Aquaman
Hawkgirl
Doomsday
Magazine Mentions, Likely playable characters, Definitely in the game (95% chance being playable)
Raven
Black Adam
Sinestro
Ares
Other Likely Characters
Martian Manhunter (Collector's Edition Emblem + Dev Hints)
Robin (Damian Wayne) (Next comic issue + Collector's Edition Emblem)
Dr. Fate (Dev Hints but could be a background character)
Captain Cold (Dev Hints and Freeze Blast versus Flash in the initial CG trailer)
Confirmed Not in the Game but Possible for DLC
Lobo
Characters Commonly Mentioned but Not Hinted at All/Wishful Thinking From Fans
Power Girl
Zatanna
Blue Beetle
Booster Gold
Swamp Thing
Animal Man
Starfire
After this week the only officially revealed character we won't have gameplay for will be Green Lantern. With him and the other officially revealed characters there are enough characters where we could easily see no more new ones for the rest of this marketing campaign. I think they will probably throw in one or two from those top 7 though. Likely Doomsday considering his brief snippet of gameplay in the announcement/how it works video.

Yeah I know, but i'm mostly just interested in Shazam. I don't want to lose my main, fun factor character. And Joker is pretty ruthless on his playstyle, looking for to see all that he offers.
Thanks for the info. TDLink! You're of great help. I actually didn't know that both Robin/Martian Manhunter's emblems were on the Collector's Edition of the game. That's pretty interesting, but pretty if we do get another Batman character.
I was actually hoping for some gameplay of Aquaman, but i'm sure he'll pop up soon enough. As for Hawkgirl, I welcome her as an addition to the game. Actually pretty excited to see Raven in this game, she's one of my most favorite of Titans, along with the personality she has.
Honestly, I have no doubts that Lobo wouldn't make it on the game. Fans are asking for him, Boon wanted him in MKvsDC, and he still wants him included now. He's my most requested. :3 Swamp Thing, would be a really interesting character, just thinking on a potential moveset is exciting!
Oh, and Dr. Fate has to be included, he's great character on the nagic department. Plus isn't Doomsday a background character as well? He surely has shot being playable.

Doomsday is seen in battle against the Joker and appears in the stick. At the very least, he's a boss.
And I'm preeeetty sure I remember someone (Boon himself, maybe) posting covers for Batgirl, Supergirl and Power Girl and saying one of them would be in Injustice... but I might remember wrong.
STAR Labs would be Flash, no?
Troubled Bat
Member
No, you aren't wrong at all. I remember that post as well. It was Boon, from Twitter. Something along the lines of, "Which would you like to see."
I think that's right. It better be Power Girl.
Troubled Bat

Same thing, it hasn't changed. It'll likely be the prize thoughout all the weeks. Hopefully, it changes.
STAR Labs appears in several books sort of like how S.H.I.E.L.D would if this were Marvel. I couldn't say where it originated though, if that mattered.
it is the same thing as before short of the sweep stakes thing. they run a different one of those every week, it seems.
Aaaaaaaaaand done.
Hello new gif for tournies.
this guy right here? He deserves a trophy.

Glad you liked it. The one in your quote has a single frame flicker though. Be sure to resave the one in my post now that I've removed it for cleaner loops.
This thing is gonna get some mileage come EVO next year once Injustice makes it on board.
