Any pics of the Arkham bundle?

I'm looking but nothing yet. Just Walmart's store page and a text version. Its pretty recent so we will likely see their facebook catch up to this update soon.

BTW for those that missed it.

MONDAY there is going to be an announcement and a new character reveal!

 

[KingJ2002]

did i see Yellow Lantern Batman in that trailer?

he's probably like... the akuma of the game... just too overpowered for his own good.

 

[shiftplusone]

Thank you based Walmart!
Up till now the ONLY pre-order skins announced were Gamestop exclusive. Heres a list now.

• RED SON PACK pre-order(soviet outfits)
  (Superman, Solomon Grundy, Wonder Woman)
  
• NEW 52 PACK (TE stick edition pre-order only)
  (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman)
  
• ARKHAM CITY PACK (pre-order)
  (BATMAN, THE JOKER, CATWOMAN)

Unless someone gets a bundle with a Flash outfit it is locked in that I will be getting this game from Walmart.

New 52 costumes are also in the Collector's Edition

I think it's probably just Hal.

I also think Yellow Lantern Hal is not Green Lantern Hal's alt costume, but Sinestro's alt.
GL's alt will probably be Kyle or John.

It looks like Hal to me. And then the cowl part is Hal showing that he's defeated Batman.

But I doubt believe they'll do alts as other characters. I know they initially talked about being open to that, but it complicates a lot of things. The intro and outro portions are not costume-specific as is, so how would that work if suddenly you had Hal's intro as Sinestro with the Sinestro voice? I think it's more likely a Hal alt with just a new costume and the light powers being yellow. I guess I don't see them trying to shove Hal into Sinestro's animations, voiceovers and movesets. I hope they don't, anyway.

New Press Release! Looks like from here on out we will be getting a new character reveal every Monday, starting today (but not yet). The videos from the PR are set to private currently.

Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment announce the details - and an invitation - to the ultimate battle of superhero supremacy for the upcoming fighting game, Injustice: Gods Among Us .

For the next 10 weeks, the roster of legendary DC Comics characters will enter the Injustice Battle Arena. Each week, a new pair of challengers will enter the arena, as fans are given the opportunity to vote on who they believe would come out as champion.

Every Monday, combatants will be revealed in weekly match-up videos. Detailing the skills, attributes and technology of the week’s competing DC Comics warriors, the videos also include man-on-the-street and celebrity experts explaining which character in the battle has earned their vote.

All votes and submissions must be submitted by Thursday night, and the results will be announced in a final fight video, showing the all-out battles and ultimate victor of that week's match-up.

The teaser video that explains the campaign can be watched by clicking on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egEQYRBAkZs

Fans can also view the first match-up video of the campaign here: http://youtu.be/wgfmwK9X104

For participating in these show-downs, fans in the UK will be rewarded with an Injustice avatar item when they register on the site and an exciting piece of DLC content when they first vote. Voice your opinion via Facebook, YouTube or Twitter and join the debate!

To vote on each week’s battle, visit: injustice.dccomics.com

Injustice: Gods Among Us is an all-new game in development by award-winning NetherRealm Studios. The title debuts a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and many others.

[Akainu]

Those animations... Still can't get over them lol.

I know. When the parts where there was running were the worst.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Everything about this game looks so... ghetto.

 

[Khezu]

Lol, NRS really has terrible marketing.

 

[TDLink]

Today's "reveal" is going to be Bane. It will be a video with gameplay of him for the first time. So...yeah...dash those hopes of Aquaman, Hawkgirl, whoever.

 

[C-Sword]

How do you know and when exactly will that video be posted?

 

[TDLink]

All I know is it will be posted sometime later today. Netherrealm isn't more specific than that. It's the first video in the match-up marketing series that I posted the PR for a few posts ago. The match-up is Bane vs Catwoman. On Thursday you will be able to vote for who will win the match-up. Then the next match-up will be next Monday and then that process will repeat each week until the game is out. That's my understanding on how it is going to work anyways.

The game does need more Batman characters.

 

[Tizoc]

Eh as interested I am in seeing how Bane plays, I'd rather see Aquaman summon a tidal wave to crush fools etc.

Thanks for the info, where did you get the press release?

 

[Cyborg]

Looks like an downgrade in graphics.....Looks worse than the presentation a while back

 

[TDLink]

My e-mail. I am betting you can find it published on different game blogs/sites either now or soon as well. People are probably waiting on the videos to go public before publishing.

Looks more to me like inconsistent graphics. Some stuff looks really good and some stuff looks pretty bad. They still have a few months to go though so I am sure it will be fine in the end.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Batman's suit and Superman's shoulders look stupid even more on this trailer. There rest works much better.
And im starting to get fed up of emo Harley design (arkham, injustice and new52).

Also, the roster is now:

Characters traditionally Heroes
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
The Flash
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Aquaman
Hawkgirl
Cyborg
Green Arrow
Nightwing
Raven
Captain Marvel
Martian Manhunter (Unconfirmed but heavily rumoured)

Characters traditionally Villains
Lex Luthor
The Joker
Doomsday
Harley Quinn
Bane
Catwoman
Solomon Grundy
Deathstroke
Sinestro
Black Adam
Ares

That brings us to potentially 13 "Heroes" and 11 "Villains", making for 24...the number of slots we have seen on the character select in previous builds. Is this the full character roster for the game? Will we see more than these 24?

If it does end up being just these 24 I think overall they did a pretty good job, even if they were a bit heavy on the Batman side of things.

Hey, not a bad list, could be better, but its good. Cant wait to play with Captain Marvel and Raven if that list is true.

Luckily there are alt costumes in this game. Hopefully that means all the classic looks are unlockable.

From what I know from working with DC, that seems unlikely sadly. New52 is more possible.
But maybe they surprise us.

 

[J-Tier]

Still camping for that trailer.

I'm curious to see how much Bane differs from Grundy.

It's odd that they sent out this press release hours ago and still haven't made the videos available. I guess that's just NRS' typical bad marketing though.

Once they do get posted I'll make a new topic we can use to discuss this whole fight/reveal campaign they are doing since it is going to be a long running thing.

 

[Gleethor]

still no video....

 

[TDLink]

Boon just tweeted that this stuff is dropping tomorrow instead of today. NRS' marketing team continues to astound.

 

[dark_prinny]

This is not looking good.

Dem animations.

Dem costumes.

NO.

 

[Khezu]

Boon just tweeted that this stuff is dropping tomorrow instead of today. NRS' marketing team continues to astound.

It seems like they fucked up the voting thing.

I'm not sure why even bother with it though, there is no real suspense, we already know who is going to win.

 

[TDLink]

Apparently knowing this is an alt costume is the consolation prize:

 

[The Adder]

The intro and outro portions are not costume-specific as is, so how would that work if suddenly you had Hal's intro as Sinestro with the Sinestro voice?

Human Cyrax/Sektor.

Cyrax: Appears with his reassemble teleport "Safeties disabled, combat mode engaged."

Human Cyrax: Appears in a puff of smoke "I'll kill you if I have to."

 

[J-Tier]

Apparently knowing this is an alt costume is the consolation prize:

How disappointing. *packs up tent*

 

[Majukun]

story looks extremely boring..but i'm not a comic book guy..so i'm probably not part of the target demographic..games anyway looks like dumb fun,which is ok on my book

 

[TDLink]

Consolation Prize #2, Ed Boon tweeted this blurry image of Dr. Fate:

http://twitpic.com/c0z7nm

That is 100% Dr. Fate. Could just be a background character in a stage though, guess we'll see eventually. He tweeted this along with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ9CbawxVcU (Which basically makes it undeniable even for those with doubt).

 

[Khezu]

Hmm, well then.

Batman or Superman?

Who is going to to put on the helmet?

 

[LAUGHTREY]

So it's the classic "Batman gets teleported to alternate timeline where the Justice League impose martial law on the planet"


I always like it, especially when 'evil' Batman comes through in the end. Superman can be corrupted, never Batman.

Are the bolded confirmed?

 

[The Light]

I wonder why nightwing's costume isn't included in the arkham pack.

 

[J-Tier]

Are the bolded confirmed?

They've been confirmed as in game characters. As playable characters though-- no. Not confirmed.

 

[ReiGun]

Tomorrow's character reveal better be Aquaman. He better not have a hook hand. He better say "Outrageous!"

Don't fuck me over on this, Boon.

 

[Khezu]

0% chance he will be Outrageous.

I doubt he will have a hook hand though, the MK9 engine doesn't work so well with asymmetrical weapons, hence Freddy having two claws.

Wonder Woman has an animation where she switches what hand her sword and shield are in, Aquaman doesn't have that luxury.

Yeah. It makes sense though. I'm hoping for trident.

Boo to no outrageous. That should totally become his thing.

As for the rest, all I'm hearing is...two hook hands. By God...no... :'(

 

[Router]

Dr Fate?


Interest rising slightly...

 

[J-Tier]

Hahaha, Superman severs both of his arms for rebelling against him, and he creates two "hard water" arms...

...


with hook hands on both. =B

 

[ReiGun]

Dr. Fate would be awesome if playable. Would also like the Spectre.

Probably bring back his metal bra and mullet to spite me.

 

[J-Tier]

Dr. Fate would be awesome if playable. Would also like the Spectre.

Constantine would be cool too, since he's currently the..."leader" of Justice League Dark.

He's not much of a fighter, but it'd be cool to have a character who has a sloppy "street brawling" style, plus his Liverpudlian sense of humour and accent, along with his form of "dirty magic" would be sweet.

I imagine his super being him calling out the House of Mystery, which would fly in, collide into the opponent (who would be greeted by his demon butler) and fly off.

 

[vg260]

That says "there is no fate in the video". I think he's toying w/ people and he's not playable, but in the background.

 

[J-Tier]

For reference, this is the House of Mystery. If flies through the air at pretty high speeds through another dimension when Constantine needs to go places, allowing him to pop up anywhere on Earth.

Who who doesn't like trenchcoat characters anyways? They're super popular in Mahvel 3. =D

 

[NEO0MJ]

Fate would be an interesting choice, but I think Boon's messing with us. He looks too colorful and plain in that blurry pic to be a playable character. Needs more armor and darker colors.

Issue 4 of the prequel comic came out. Here are four scans that are, needless to say, spoilerific. Seriously. Spoilers.
