All Articles: Injustice 2

In a fun little nod to Batman & Robin, NetherRealm Studios pitted Poison Ivy against Bane and Robin in the newest Injustice 2 trailer.

Dr. Pamela Isley’s affinity for plants has always given her skin a healthy green glow, but the supervillain actually has a pair of extra appendages in the upcoming fighting game. The two venus fly traps that frame her face probably aren’t an angel and devil on her shoulders, but they can be used as a makeshift or to fling a noxious gas cloud at her opponent.

Injustice 2 will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One on May 16. And in case you missed any of the previous “Introducing…” trailers, now’s a great to look back at Scarecrow, The Flash, Captain Cold, Catwoman, Cheetah, Firestorm, Doctor Fate, and all the rest.

In the various Batman comics and cartoons, The Scarecrow isn’t usually portrayed as an offensive powerhouse. Just look no further than the tasering he receives during the finale of Batman Begins. But NetherRealm Studios has different plans for the “Master of Fear,” which are on full display in the character’s “Introducing Scarecrow” trailer.

In Injustice 2, Scarecrow will become a hulking beast (in the eyes of his opponents) thanks to a dose from his Fear Toxin. And after his transformation, the character will deliver a stinging series of blows from his whip-like scythe. It’s going to take a lot more than a stun gun to drop this version of Dr. Jonathan Crane.

Another day… another Injustice 2 trailer. Today’s look at NetherRealm’s next fighting game focuses on its customizable Gear System, which will allow players to bestow offensive bonuses and a fashionable new style on their favorite characters:

With every clash comes change and the opportunity for evolution. The Gear System brings a new level of depth to the game, allowing players to evolve their play style and achieve their goals. Gear opens up vast possibilities for personalization by enabling combatants of all levels to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters to fit their fighting style.

The Flash has reformed his evil ways after the events of Injustice: Gods Among Us, and he’s ready to jump back into the fray in the latest trailer for Injustice 2. The Flash continues to use his super speed to baffle opponents in NetherRealm’s sequel, but the Scarlet Speedster’s “Super Move” has to be seen to be believed.

As part of his “Super Move”, The Flash drags Gorilla Grodd into the Speed Force and first travels back to ancient Egypt to smash through the Sphinx, before also visiting a prehistoric park to use a Tyrannosaurus Rex as a battering ram. The superhero finishes by coming back to the present a few seconds before he left to throw Grodd INTO HIMSELF for the knockout.

After Superman’s Regime came to power in Injustice: Gods Among Us, they managed to end all crime on Earth by executing any supervillain that fought back.

Naturally, this lead to some sore feelings, and now that the Man of Steel is in prison, the supervillain community has roared back in Injustice 2 as a terrorist organization known as “The Society.” Gorilla Grodd is leading Bane, Cheetah, Catwoman, Captain Cold, Deadshot, Scarecrow, and others against Batman’s forces, and it’s going to be a bloody confrontation.

You can learn all about Grodd’s machinations by viewing the “Shattered Alliances Part 4” trailer embedded above, and catch up with the rest of Injustice 2’s story in “Part 1,” “Part 2,” and “Part 3.”

Just as we suspected when he was first unveiled in the “It’s Good To Be Bad” trailer, Captain Cold’s Injustice 2 incarnation owes a lot to Sub-Zero. The Mortal Kombat mainstay is the master of ice and cold, and it makes perfect sense that NetherRealm Studios would want to recreate his moveset for DC’s icy villain.

Sworn to ending all crime, the Regime hunted down and brutally executed every member of the Rogues, including Captain Cold’s sister. Using his skills as a thief and his iconic Cold Gun, Cold now seeks his vengeance. He’ll gladly use the Society to achieve it.

Captain Cold uses his Cold Gun to shoot icy projectiles across the screen. He can also freeze his opponents for a free hit or drop an Ice Ball on the ground as a trap. The supervillain even makes use of the Lin Kuei ninja’s Cold Shoulder charge.

Injustice 2 is just a little over a month away, and it’ll launch for the PS4 and Xbox One on May 16.

Harley Quinn is looking to recruit Catwoman for the “Gotham City Sirens” in the latest Injustice 2 trailer, but things don’t end well for the reformed supervillain.

Consistently walking the line between hero and villain, Selina Kyle’s pilfering past as Catwoman prevents Batman from ever placing his full trust in her. As the ashes of the Regime give rise to the sinister Society, the Caped Crusader must once again speculate where this thieving feline’s loyalties lie.

Catwoman first appeared in Injustice: Gods Among Us, and like her previous appearance in the franchise, her Injustice 2 incarnation is an acrobatic martial artist who’s quick as a whip.

Injustice 2 will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One on May 16.

It’s April 1st, which means you shouldn’t believe everything anything you read on the Internet today. For example, I think it is extremely unlikely that NetherRealm Studios will add the Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, to Injustice 2.

The dual addition to Injustice 2’s character roster was teased earlier today on Twitter by Ed Boon, NetherRealm’s Creative Director. Boon is a lover of all things purple (Mortal Kombat‘s Rain is an homage to Prince), but I think this is a step too far:

The Wonder Twins were first introduced to audiences in 1977 as part of DC’s Super Friends cartoon. They were later given an “extreme” makeover (because, of course they were) and added to the DC Comics Universe in 1996.

I’m reasonably sure that Boon is joking about including the Wonder Twins in Injustice 2, but I could also see the developer using this prank to gauge interest in adding the characters to the game later as downloadable content.
