I think my favorite intro so far is still the one where Atrocitus brings up Maggie Kyle. She's one of my favorite civilian characters, and it was nice that they acknowledged her in this.

The Joker/Scarecrow one where Scarecrow is pissed about Joker stealing his toxin is nice since he's so calm in most of the others.

This one:

Harley: You're ain't so tough Superman.

Superman: What gives you that idea?

Harley: (beat) Alfred knocked your freaking ass out!

I just like Dex-Starr hovering near Atrocitous' right shoulder.


Green Arrow: Much broodier than my Batman.

Batman: Do you know how many friends I've lost?

Green Arrow: ... Right, not funny.

Atrocitus is interesting me. In the intros, he's quick to anger and such, of course, but he doesn't seem particularly evil. Nor does he seem to have anything against the heroes, really, except Hal for some reason. In the trailer, we don't see him with Grodd, and I doubt he's with Brainiac.

Mostly he's just throwing out invitations to everyone.

So I'm interested to see what they do with him. I like seeing Atrocitus as a surly and brutal but ultimately neutral party - Justice League Action also adapted him that way. Though there's also the risk of him ending up like Ares and actually having nothing to do with the plot.

I've literally been saying he's Ares' replacement since his bio went up on the site.

Well, he's demanding Hal Jordan (whether anyone wants to give Hal up is irrelevant to him), and, knowing Atrocitus, I wouldn't put it past him to kill someone who stands in his way.

Actually.... no. And it's a weakness, according to Bruce.

Heh:

  • Killing Lex Luthor makes Superman an evil prick. Wonder Woman is the first person to console him. Batman agrees it had to be done but quickly becomes A Spanner In The Works.
  • Killing The Joker makes Superman an evil prick. Wonder Woman is the first person to console him (in the comics). Batman doesn't actively participate this time but is nevertheless a rogue element.
  • In both stories The Flash is the one who turns the tables for the good guys - he fools Justice Lord Batman and breaks out of imprisonment, and he betrays the Regime and IIRC was a vital player in the game's final act.
  • Doomsday shows up in both as a random, mindless engine of destruction who the Evil Superman has to contend with.

Ok, I can absolutely make out Black Manta and Raiden's silhouettes.

I find it unlikely there'd be more than one guest per pack.

Raiden? Called it. He's got the look and the power set. Still wanted Booster Gold in there somewhere but I don't see him.

I can only recognize Sub-Zero for certain, and I'm assuming the girl is Starfire... who's the other guy?

The second Red Hood (Jason Todd).

Dude.

He's the Best Robin!

The guy with the guns!

The merc with the mouth!

The Joker's former identity!

And he's totally at home in the Injustice universe. Also, the fact that he and Starfire are here together is a funny little nod to their comic book series.

[up] Oh come on. [nja]

Could that guy to the left of Raiden be Azrael?

I just saw a suggestion that the silhouettes are premier skins attached to Fighter Pack 1. Black Manta for Aquaman, Raiden for Black Adam, and that one to the left of Raiden could be one for Grodd.

It's certainly possible, but I'm not ready to buy into that yet. Mainly because Adam doesn't really play like Raiden at all, so I'm not sure why they would do that.
