History YMMV / Injustice2

** The story actually sets up all the ingredients for a pretty good counter-argument to the persistent MisaimedFandom that tries to argue that the Regime is in the right and that the extrajudicial killing of supervillains is the correct thing to do to avoid the consequences of them potentially doing further harm down the road: that killing them off ''also'' has potentially unforeseen consequences. Both Captain Cold and Reverse Flash only get involved in Brainiac and Grodd's plot because the Regime killed their relatives, turning Captain Cold into a much more dangerous and vicious criminal in the process. In fact, Earth is only able to fight off Brainiac's invasion because the Insurgency didn't kill off Cyborg and Superman when they had the chance! But while it is brought up in the final battle, where Batman points out that without Brainiac they have no guarantee they could restore the cities and people he's consumed and that Superman may have just accidentally deleted two entire cities in the process of trying without him, none of the heroes ever manage to bring up that argument in the seemingly endless circular debates about whether or not superheroes should kill.

** The thought-to-be-dead Joker is a playable character. And he only appears in a nightmare sequence for Harley to fight, which pretty much validates the fan's complaints about him being a wasted slot.

** Batman. IronWoobie that all {{Iron Woobie}}s should aspire to be or self-righteous, unsympathetic jerk who cannot accept alternatives to his way of doing things? In-universe his supporters tend to see him as the former, while his opponents tend to see him as the latter.

** Damian's accidental murder of Dick Grayson was one of the most controversial moments of the original prequel comic, partly because of its [[{{Narm}} unintentional hilarity]] and mostly because Batman pushes him to the Regime's side by disowning him even though Damian didn't mean to kill Dick. While Dick's death is still acknowledged in the second game, a flashback changed the circumstances behind Damian's FaceHeelTurn, by having him kill [[AssholeVictim Mr. Zsasz]] instead and willingly turn on Batman due to his no-kill rule adherence, to make the latter less UnintentionallyUnsympathetic. It also indirectly exonerates Harley Quinn from starting the riot in Arkham Asylum, which lead to the same event as above, by having Superman and his allies showing up to execute all Arkham inmates with only Batman and Robin showing up to stop them.

----> '''Batman''': I want answers!

----> '''Superman''': That power ring packs a punch.

*** The problem got even worse with newer characters and premier skins following the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016-17_video_game_voice_actor_strike 2016-17 SAG-AFTRA strike]] that prevented most of the game's voice actors from returning to their roles. As a result, newer DLC characters could only interact with older ones through recycled and repurposed lines of dialogue. This means a lot of lines, like Batman's "we'll see" and Superman's "is that so?", get reused ''a lot'', and when juxtaposed against the DLC or premier skins with more specific lines, it's obvious their interactions were written to work with the base game's dialogue, making the exchanges sound like Mad Libs at best and clunky and nonsensical at worst (fortunately, dialogue between DLC characters themselves fared much better and had more unique interactions)
----> '''Red Hood''': That ring got something special for me?\\
'''Green Lantern''': Just takes a little imagination.\\
'''Red Hood''': ''(loads gun)'' We gonna be friends now?

** Kent Nelson aka Doctor Fate. The Earth is under attack by Brainiac, he wants to help against him, but Nabu refuses to allow him, seeing as how the Lords of Order believe Brainiac to be the one who will bring order to balance the chaos caused by Batman and Superman. [[spoiler: Even after he's freed from the Helmet of Fate by Batman and Superman, he doesn't get enough time to enjoy it as he's killed by Brainiac.]]

* VanillaProtagonist: Injustice Batman in the first game while heroic had some dark moments such as when he fell into a DespairEventHorizon and had to be snapped out of it via MirrorMatch with Prime Batman. In the sequel, he's morally pure, even more so thanks to a {{Retcon}} that makes his conflict with Injustice Supes less gray than the comics, makes no difficult choices and more or less starts and ends the story mode in the same manner, having none of the shades of Supergirl, Barry Allen, and Hal Jordan.

* EvilIsSexy: Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy and Enchantress. The much more improved character models which mean that Diana actually looks gorgeous and stellar facial animation certainly don't hurt.

** "BE GONE THOT/Doctor Fate's Three Words" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Doctor Fate's winpose [[https://c.tenor.com/XbiwlssVbnYAAAAC/thot-patrol-thot.gif edited to say those three words in time to his hand movements]]; this would later be added upon by ''Website/{{TikTok}}'' users with other words and music playing in the background.[[/labelnote]]

** Though Creator/ScottPorter gives a fine performances as Damian Wayne, he sounds absolutely nothing like Creator/NealMcDonough, the character's previous voice actor. This leads to an especially jarring transition between the two games.
** Going by the above's logic, Creator/SteveBlum as Hal Jordan. On his own merits, he does just fine as the Green Lantern - but he sounds nothing like Creator/AdamBaldwin, Hal's voice actor from the first game. This leads to a similarly jarring transition.
