History ComicBook / Injustice2

* GreaterScopeVillain Two here:
** The prequel comics revealed that [[spoiler:Brainiac]] is this for the League of Assassins, since it's revealed that [[spoiler:Coluan technology was used to create AMAZO in their plan to destroy humanity. He's also the mastermind behind the Red Lantern attack on Oa. The comic also shows how he and Grodd met and forged an alliance, as seen in the game.]]
** As in the games, the Joker's posthumous legacy of causing Superman's FaceHeelTurn still reverberates in the minds of many even after the High Councilor was defeated. Harley even admits she never truly thought his plan to trick the Man of Steel into nuking Metropolis would actually work.

** Harley Quinn was surprisingly EasilyForgiven by Batman for her actions in the first prequel comic, but the US government haven't forgiven her at all, and send soldiers to apprehend her. Living a life of crime and having been party to the nuking of an entire city is not the sort of thing you can just walk away from, no matter how sincere your reformation. For that matter, the relatives of her direct victims won't forgive her either, such as [[spoiler:Pa and Ma Kent for the murders of their daughter-in-law and unborn grandchild which drove their adopted son to evil]].
** Batman admits to Ted Kord that bringing Superman down didn't make all the world's problems go away, and that some people still support him despite everything he's done and want him to return. [[spoiler:This extends to the Amazons, a faction of whom still support Diana and have merely lain in wait for someone like Kara to come along.]] The Regime may have fallen, but it wasn't pure evil and Batman's continued FailureHero routine isn't giving its remaining supporters much reason to change their opinions.
** Without Alfred, Bruce's workplace has become a mess and he himself isn't looking so good. Having lived most of his life with a butler who cleaned up after him and forced him to take care of himself has left him only just functioning without him.

** Bringing along a KidHero with some truly destructive potential but not yet experienced for a very important mission to rescue your loved ones turns out to have catastrophic consequences, even when you assigned him to stay on guard. [[spoiler:When Blue Beetle tries to help his teammates after they were trapped inside Ra's compound, he blasts his way through when the two groups are about to resolve their issues without anymore fighting and his actions escalate to a explosion inside the animal reserve, killing countless endangered species, and making said endangered species officially extinct]].

** Ever since his identity was revealed to the public, Batman can't intimidate anyone with his DeathGlare, in-costume or out of it.
** If you are related to a mass-murdering dictator, there is a great chance [[MisplacedRetribution you will be subjected to mob scrutiny and violence, no matter if you were personally innocent of any wrong doing]]. [[spoiler:Jonathan and Martha Kent were evicted from Smallville just because they found and raised the alien child that turned into Superman]].
** After Grodd questions Solovar's authority once too often, the king orders his soldiers to take Grodd to the cells. [[spoiler:But instead, they hand Grodd a weapon. As Grodd contemptuously scoffs, ''he's'' their direct leader, and Solovar's contradictory hating humans while allowing humans to be protected guests in Gorilla City has left them no reason to remain loyal to him.]]
** In Issue #54, Sinestro tries to pull Soranik's Green Lantern ring off her fingers. It results in her overpowering and knocking him out with a giant punch construct. Turns out trying to take off a GL ring is not as easy as it seems, specially when you are unarmed.
** In Issue #70, [[spoiler:Ra's al Ghul has a moment of compassion after Croc and Orca's wedding and deactivates the explosives on their bodies before wishing them farewell. However, Orca is less than impressed, chews him out for endangering her, her mate and unborn children by blowing up their heads if they step out of line or [[YouFailedMe failed him]] just before Croc tears out his arm in retaliation. Having one PetTheDog moment when you are a cruel and heartless individual will not let you get off the hook slightly]].

* ThreatBackfire: Athanasia points a gun at Grodd, who points out his psi powers can [[PsychicAssistedSuicide make her]] [[AteHisGun shoot herself]].

* AgeLift: Inverted. Ace the Bat-Hound is a puppy when he is introduced in the story rather than an adult dog.

** Ra's orders Orca and Croc to devour several executives alive.

* TheCameo: ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} (Dick Grayson) and ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} appear for the first and only time in ''Injustice 2'' during a flashback story in ''Annual #2''. Grayson was killed back in ''Year One'' of ''Injustice: Gods Among Us'', while Batwoman was in all five years of ''Gods Among Us'', but then was completely absent without explanation all through ''Injustice 2''.

** In Issue #70, [[spoiler:Ra's al Ghul has a moment of compassion after Croc and Orca's wedding and deactivates the explosives on their bodies before wishing them farewell. However, Orca is less than impressed, chews him out for endangering her, her mate and unborn children by blowing up their heads if they step out of line or [[YouFailedMe failed him]] just before Croc tears out his arm in retaliation. Having one PetTheDog moment when you are an cruel and heartless individual will not let you get off the hook slightly]].

* AdaptationalUgliness: The Amazo Android in Issue 34 has a [[SkeleBot9000 Terminator Skull Visage]] rather than his traditional aquiline look in the comics or his Golden God appearance in ''Franchise/{{DCAU}}''. Justified because Ivo complains he's not complete, but Ra's is not concerned about his aesthetics, only functionality.

The comic ran for 72 issues, along with a special annual that detailed Franchise/WonderWoman's backstory, explaining why this version of her is much more cold-hearted than the main Diana, and a second annual as a finale to the comic series.
