Switching back to uncategorized character list - I wouldn\'t call Grundy a GL character anymore, not since the Space Police version became the standard for the series; and I think Cyborg is considered a JLA character at this point. I don\'t see much point in sorting them out when just about everyone is either a Batman character, a JLA character, or the only guy in their category (while ALSO in the League).

Not A Trope. Plus, also not entirely accurate. Batman for example looks far more like Christian Bale rather than any of his comic designs.


* {{New 52}}: The costumes are taking their cues from the post-''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' DC Universe, most evident with Harley Quinn and the Flash. Others are wearing costumes that were rejected in favor of others: for example, Wonder Woman is wearing leggings instead of briefs; and Superman is in his Kryptonian armor and lacks the iconic red trunks, but his cape is held on by the "S" shield on his chest, a concept rejected in favor of a more traditional cape.

While the action is adequate to its Superhero universe, battles are accompanied by significant amounts of blood and most combat techniques are very visceral in nature, especially when blades are involved.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: It's ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'' without the ''Mortal Kombat''. Surprisingly, the game mechanics actually take after other fighters more than ''MK'', like a character "gimmick" button à la ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', and using directional blocking like most other 2D fighters instead of a guard button. The animation and sound effects still have a strong Mortal Kombat feel to them, though.

!!''Injustice: Gods Among Us'' has the following tropes:

* AlternateContinuity: Seems to be going this way, as there seems to be no logical reason why the Justice League would suddenly turn on humanity.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: It's ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'' without the ''Mortal Kombat''.

The animation and sound effects still have a strong Mortal Kombat feel to them, though.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The detailed profile of the Joker in the Batcave stage lists his various crimes, which include all three and end with the latter.
* BadassNormal: How else would Batman, Nightwing, and Harley Quinn be able to stand up to guys like Superman and Solomon Grundy? The game even has characters segregated like this: those who use powers and those who use gadgets.
* BigRedButton: There's one in the Batcave that players can use to launch missiles from the Batmobile.
* CombatPragmatist: Environments are said to be a part of the game, with characters being able to use them to hurt opponents. Different characters however, have different ways of doing them. For example, Batman slams enemies onto a car, while Solomon Grundy slams a car onto enemies.
* CrossCounter: A variant: when a counter is initiated, both characters are knocked back, recite [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything character-specific lines]] and attack each other simultaneously. During the clash, players need to bet portions of their super meter to earn the upper hand, and whoever loses earns more damage.
* FaceHeelTurn: The heroes are called "our greatest threat" in the trailer. They even sport darker designs for their costumes.
* FlipFlopOfGod: After hinting on Twitter that [[http://twitpic.com/a1ivlm certain characters]] might join the roster, Ed Boon had mixed opinions on the inclusion of Aquaman. A portion of his feed is alternating between "of course" and "no way" before finishing with [[https://twitter.com/noobde/status/218393106213634048 this statement.]]
* KungFuSonicBoom: A few of the power characters can make these during their LimitBreak.
* LimitBreak: All character have these as Supermoves. For example, Cyborg does a massive, point-blank energy blast while Superman punches you into orbit before smashing you back to Earth.
* {{New 52}}: The costumes are taking their cues from the post-''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' DC Universe, most evident with Harley Quinn and the Flash.
