Injustice’s next DLC character is Martian Manhunter
After first teasing his addition to the game over a month ago, NetherRealm Studios has officially revealed that Martian Manhunter will be the next DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us. NetherRealm released the first trailer featuring Martian Manhunter (as well as a John Stewart Green Lantern skin with new dialogue) at this year’s Evo 2013 event. You can check it out above.
No release date for the Martian Manhunter DLC was announced.
More Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC on the way; All previous DLC now available for Wii U
General Zod is now available to download in Injustice: Gods Among Us on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Marketplace… and the Wii U eShop. Yes, all four of the game’s downloadable characters (including Lobo, Batgirl, and Scorpion) are now available on the Wii U as well.
Like the previous characters, the good General has been priced at $4.99/400 Microsoft Points. A “History of General Zod” trailer can be found above. Zod marks the end of the first wave of DLC characters for Injustice, but according to NetherRealm’s Ed Boon, more characters are on the way:

I’m sure the first person to ask him about Martian Manhunter will get the kiss of death, Sonya-style.
Here’s an Injustice: Gods Among Us gameplay trailer starring General Zod
Kneel before… you know what, you don’t need to kneel, just watch the first gameplay trailer of General Zod in Injustice: Gods Among Us. The Kryptonian criminal will be available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store on July 2 for $5 (400 Microsoft Points).
Also available next month is a new Superman skin based on Henry Cavill’s portrayal of the Man of Steel in… well, Man of Steel. The skin will also be downloadable from the XBLM and the PS Store and it’ll set you back $1 (or 80 Microsoft Points).
There’s still no word on if NetherRealm Studios plans to release the Superman skin based on The Flaming C to the public. Here it is on Conan in case you missed it the first time around.
Injustice: Gods Among Us scores another sales knockout in the May 2013 NPD report
Yup, you can definitely tell we’re in a console transition period. Just a single new release was able to crack the list of the top ten best-selling games of May 2013.
Deep Silver’s Metro: Last Light was that game and the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 shooter was able to claim the sixth spot for the mutants of post-apocalyptic Russia. A pair of sorta-new releases helped push the profile of two titles that were originally released in years past. The 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns lifted the game to #3 and the Wii U re-release of Lego Batman 2 helped the Brick Knight squeeze into the #10 slot.
According to Game Informer, sales of retail games are down 31% from May 2012 and retail sales are going to continue to drop as Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony move towards an all-digital future. Althugh, to be fair, May 2012 did include the release of Diablo III, which sold a ton of copies at retail.
The NPD Group’s complete report on the top ten best-selling games from May 2013 can be found after the break. (more…)
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD with the next Injustice DLC pack
The latest “Clueless Gamer With Conan O’Brien” segment from his TBS talk show, Conan, aired on Wednesday and it featured NetherRealm’s Injustice: Gods Among Us. It also featured the debut of the next DLC character… General Zod!
Zod will be available to download in July through the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Live Marketplace. Presumably, he will carry the same $5/400 Microsoft Points price as all of the other DLC characters.
But Conan wasn’t done. He also debuted The Flaming C, a Conan-like reskin of Superman designed by Bruce Timm. It’s unknown if this skin will actually be added to Injustice, but gameplay footage of The Flaming C kicking ass and taking names was shown on Conan.
You can watch the full segment after the break. (more…)
Injustice: Gods Among Us Review: Mortal Kom-ics
It’s easy to think of Injustice: Gods Among Us as the next logical step after the two previous titles from NetherRealm Studios: 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe and the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot. But Injustice is also more (and less) than the sum of its parts. It will be familiar to anyone who has played the Mortal Kombat reboot, but it also does new things that really tap into the “Gods Among Us” angle.
Scorpion will be available to download in Injustice on June 11
NetherRealm Studios has announced that Mortal Komabt‘s Scorpion will be added to Injustice: Gods Among Us as a DLC character on June 11. As with the previous DLC characters, he has been priced at $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points) on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace. There’s no still word on when Injustice’s DLC will be available for the Wii U, but NetherRealm expects to release it for Nintendo’s console sometime this Summer.
To celebrate Scorpion’s impending availability, check out the newly released video above featuring DC Entertainment’s Jim Lee and NetherRealm’s Ed Boon discussing the masked ninja’s addition to Injustice: Gods Among Us.
Injustice to Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion: “Get over here!”
Crossovers are a comic book creator’s best friend. So when it was rumored that Scorpion would be coming to Injustice: Gods Among Us as a DLC character, everyone just assumed it was the real deal. This morning, NetherRealm Studios officially announced that Scorpion (redesigned by DC Entertainment’s Jim Lee) will soon be joining the fight.
Scorpion’s brand new redesign looks fantastic, but his Injustice moveset looks very similar to the attacks he used in the Mortal Kombat reboot. Like the other DLC characters before him, Scorpion has been priced at $5/400 Microsoft Points on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace.
Finally, after Scorpion sends Blackest Night Superman to Hell, the trailer ends with a stinger hinting at the fourth DLC character: Martian Manhunter.
