Gamestop still is going to reveal it through their join the party campaign thing. People stopped face book linking because we assume the bar is time based now. So...we will get it sometime I guess. Maybe next week?

I just came here to point out that I think Raven's face is the result of an accident in rescaling her model at some point. Two minutes in photoshop and I found that her head looks to be the result of a slight vertical stretch and a width stretch done without masking the head off on the model to protect it from being scaled along with the body.
This is just speculation mind you, but this happened to me in college on a model I had sculpted the face on first. Made the model a bit wider and taller and then I had a similar problem.
I don't know if a quick rescaling of this model would interfere with facial mapping for spoken animations since it may adversely effect things like mapping points on the face to the proper UV and Polygon coordinates. I could fix the model easily enough as could any modeler really. The only thing holding it back would be if it messed up facial animations and would force a complete redo on those animations with new coordinates. I think you can do this without that problem, but I'm not 100% on that.
Anyhow just thought I'd show my mockup that was a simple rescaling of Raven's head. I seriously think that a modeler minor goof during a scaling caused this.

I'm gonna run Wonder Woman through on this since I know she looks super manly and I know they really broadened her shoulders at some point.

New(?) screenshot of Zombie Batman.
So with MK9 having Steam achievements, anyone want to bet one of the announcements coming up is Injustice for PC as well?

They need to show more DeathStroke.
Ok Boon, we know Batman is in the game. We get the point.
I'm hoping the Black Adam trailer will be similar to Doomsdays and Ravens, and have BA fight Deathstroke.
Ravens trailer made me want to play Catwoman more then her lol.

So far the only two characters left who haven't had a "Battle Arena" style video are Nightwing and Deathstroke so I would expect to see both eventually. Granted, They used Shazam in Doomsday's and we had already seen him so I guess we'll see.

That'd would be something at least.
And yeah, Catwoman is gonna be getting some play time from me. Rarrr!
I didn't realize... Game is coming pretty soon!
So, not only will Robin (Damian Wayne) be appearing on the cover of Injustice #5 in May, but he also appears in the 10th issue of the prequel comic releasing tomorrow. I'd love for him to be playable, honestly.
Too soon.

Same, along with a cameo of Batcow:
...but alas Boon and NRS are not cool that way =/
Incidently enough he's the ONLY Batman character I'd ever be interested in in this game.
Heck if he's in, I may be getting the game day 1 @3@
Speaking of which...am I the only one who invisions him having a 'British' accent?

New article:

My takeaways:
Mark Hamil confirmed to NOT be an alternate voice for a Joker alt.
Starfire, Beast Boy, and Terra will be in the game in some way...
Character reveals going forward will probably be people that are less well known to the mainstream. (Ares, Black Adam, and Captain Cold or Killer Frost would all qualify)

I get to see my Terra!? [Yes, I know how she truly is in the comics.]

Keep in mind those 3 are very unlikely to be playable and will probably just show up in the story in some manner. Still, cool to see them make cameos or whatever and hope we'll see more characters in this way.

Wasn't expecting it, but i'm just happy to be able to see her in this game, whether it be for like 3 seconds in. XD

Considering it's Adam Urbano saying it I am pretty sure that means they will be in in some manner. Why else would they even be mentioned? NRS knows what they are doing at this point. Yeah they aren't super duper confirmed but I think it is good enough to say they will have some sort of presence, even if it is just a cameo.
Excited but at the same time nervous.
Hope they don't appear in the story just to be killed off / serve as motivation for the playable Titans.

I would buy Starfire DLC at a high price, NRS manface and all.

I wouldn't mind her as DLC and to be honest I see her as one of the more likely choices considering the roster.

He is just showing more costumes options and who better to show them off than Batman.
how many is that so far?
Injustice
New 52
Arkham City/Asylum
Blackest Night
possible Flashpoint
I'd probably buy TDKR & INC alts if they sold them.

Just so we're clear; Starfire not Slutfire right?
There's a difference?
Only to people who have never read the comics and only know them from cartoons.
I heard she got better? I don't read red hood and the outlaws.
Not sure, I'm tempted to read that series, but I just recently bought Birds of Prey--so I'm being wary of my choices for the next series I should pick up.

I want the black adam trailer to be Black Adam vs Superman.
I heard it got a lot better recently. Again, I don't read it so I am not in a position to confirm nor deny that.

I knew something was different! It'd be pretty crazy if he actually was playable.

Damian's costume in tomorrow's new digital issue is different from the one he wears on the cover of the upcoming 5th retail issue. Why would a non-playable character have two costumes designed for him?
Just saying...
This is gonna sound silly so bear with me: Do they refer to him as Damian in the comic as well? My guess is that in that cover it was a 'place holder' of sorts before they decided with that outfit. The one on the left looks closer to Tim's Robin outfit.
Yep, it's Damian. Mentioned as such on DC's website - Link. Interesting thing is he's on Superman's side.
Similarly interesting - the synopsis for the 6th collection:
Batman recovers from a devastating tragedy with only Catwoman at his side, and then goes underground to start developing the resistance against Supermans new world order

I just watched the Batman v Wonder Woman fight. Looks good and crazy and fun. Graphics could be better.

Just saying...
The solicitations for upcoming issues of the Injustice: Gods Among Us prequel series suggest that Damian
joins Superman in his fight, arguably explaining the change of costume. This much is clear from the cover of #5 alone.
that he dies. This is more of a reasonable expectation to believe given the recent events of Batman, Inc. #8 and Tom Taylor's warning that not every character who appears in the comic will actually survive, to appear in the game.

The Joker
has also died in the comic

Of course it's just conjecture, but then again, so is suggesting he's playable based on his two costumes. Outside of this appearance, there has been no amount of promotion or teasing to even suggest Damian's involvement whatsoever. The solicitations give a legitimate reason grounded within the story for his change of costume. No one knows how or why the Joker
is still around, or even if he is involved in the story, 'post-death'.
