Injustice: DC fighting games

I wasn't really looking forward to Red Hood. Not because I disliked him, it was just an apathy. Didn't really care. Some of his moved do look cool, though.

As for the ending, if NR is going to reboot the series, maybe they'll make Batman evil and fanatical, for a change? Or is that impossible, considering they seem to love Batman.

Red Hood be like "Not today!" when the Joker runs at him with the crowbar raised.

That intro though. I'm convinced they're trying to make Damien as unlikable as they possibly can.

It's working.

Oooh, I'm very exited bout Red Hood. Jason is one of the more complex & best Bat characters & his movie Under the Red Hood is a master piece of animation.

Very interested to see where he sides on all this business with Regime.

Considering Tim's most likely still in the Phantom Zone it wouldn't surprise me if Bruce said screw it & made Jason his heir if only to spite Damian & he had no other options.

I'm more interested in seeing Starfire, to be honest.

Also, it's kind of funny I missed Manchester Black discussion. I brought him up on Game FA Qs the other day. I wonder how he'd react to Regime Superman. Then again, the end of his comic/film gave a pretty good idea of how he'd feel if Superman turned that aggression on him.

Dick's Leonardo, The Ace Hier Apparent and because unlike Bruce Dick has gotten past his emotional baggage, Dick has the potential to surpass Bruce if he ever got the cowl.

Jason's Raphael, Same amount of potential, but is weighed down by his baggage and his anger at Bruce.

Tim's Donatello, Even Bruce admits that when it coems to smarts and being a detective Tim's already at a level that surpasses him 'Tim after all is the one robin who became robin out of Free choice and figured out who Bruce was by deduction

and that make Stephanie Mikey

Jason looks fun (I especially love the bit where he throws his gun), but I'm more excited for Starfire. Both are gonna be great.

Kori's words towards Damian are gonna be a hoot.

I can imagine both her & Jason might get along if the Outlaws comic is acknowledged. Jason & Kori have actually gotten pretty close recently as well as with Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick.

Amidst all the Deadshot complaining, not to mention characters like Black Adam also seeing a lot of use, I'm glad Red Hood isn't just not a zoner- with that gun dive, he looks like he's outright an anti-zoner character. Looks great!

So I'm guessing the electric gauntlets are his trait? I'm not sure if they'll break armor like Supes or not, but they look like they'll cause his attacks to do extra hitstun for easier combos a la Ollie's electric arrows.

It could be a soightly modified version of Batgirl's trait from the past game. She could switch between tasers and blades, with one doing extra chip damage while the other did extra damage if it wasn't blocked.

That is a character I'm going to put some effort into learning. I love the sense of style.

I also don't like Catwoman's Arcade Ending. This is someone who stuck with Bruce after she was tortured nearly to death by Killer Frost.

Captain Cold's Arcade Ending, though.

There's that, and I think people just don't find it believable that Batman could make a good villain to Superman. Up until Dawn of Justice, they'd never really tried. I guess it's the underdog thing: Superman's powers make someone fighting against him and scraping out a victory (seemingly) more interesting than vice versa.

Which is a shame, because I also think we've had enough of Evil Superman vs Big Good batman. It would take a lot of work, but I'd really like to see their positions inverted for a change.

Yeah, I suppose he would, wouldn't he?

I'm kinda sick of it myself. Damien certainly started out as an annoying turd, but I was under the impression he's improved to an incredible degree, but the injustice series seems to be working on the premise that he's never had that improved character development. Then again, the thing with Dick just seems to be unresolvable issue.

Doesn't help that Damian has no role in this game other than to be Superman's lackey. Hell he is the only member of Superman's Regime to not get a chapter to himself, Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Cyborg & even Black Adam all got chapters. Its a waste really.

Ok it is not that hard to make an evil Batman story, off the top of my head: He plans to take over the world so he first mind rapes the criminals of Arkham to servitude then in secret he makes a robot army & recruits heroes to his cause, preferably naïve ones who will go gaga at being asked for by Batman himself. Then he uses the plans he came up with like in The Judas Contract or Doom movie to neutralize all League & any other hero he knows for a fact won't agree with him. All while placing himself in hidden unreachable bunker safe from harm only communicating to the world though a Kryptonite infused robot. After that we a powerless Superman forms a resistance to fight off the mad Batman & his army of Kryptonite robots & evil heroes.

See not that hard & I'm even keeping in his not kill code as instead of murdering people & be done with it he simply lobotomizes them & turns them into slaves like Superman did to him in the Absolute Power ending. I kept in his fundamental code & used it to make him look like an even more horrible monster.

Not that hard, you could take a Luthor Crisis Crossover story and touch it up to make a believable evil Batman story.

I suppose it could work.

I guess the effects of The Dark Knight Returns is just too strong. Batman against the superior Superman is so ingrained in the public consciousness that every figures that if they fight each other, The Dark Knight is (nominally) the good guy.

Hell, for all the Criticism of Dawn of Justice, I kinda like that they made Batman the villain in that fight, even if only unwittingly. Yeah, Supes was pulling his punches, but still.

I would like for evil Batman to have the same brutality as Batfleck. Maybe even worse. That's all I ask, really.

The Level 20 club now includes Cheetah, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Darkseid. Next is Wonder Woman, so that her gear drops on the upcoming multiverse is high quality.

Am I the only one who feels like the Brainiac arcade ending is a giant case of What Could Have Been?

No, the Brainiac you were playing as? It was really Brainiac 5 from the future. Which presumably means Earth survives all this Batman v Superman nonsense.

Yyyyyeah, that's just for the arcade ladder. Because they felt like they had to explain why the final boss is a mirror match.

Also, why would you think that Batman vs. Superman has world-ending consequences. Like, no shit Earth survives. Neither of them wants the planet destroyed.

It's just a spoiler of sorts that the Regime doesn't win out, and even if it does, it doesn't last very long if the Legion of Superheroes still exists in the 31st century and isn't a dictatorship.

But like, the only person that can actually keep the Regime in a position of power is Superman, and even he doesn't have a 1000-year lifespan that I'm aware of (or else he would probably be active in the Legion's time period in normal stories). So like, regardless of who wins in the present, the world's not going to end, and all of them will be dead eventually anyway.

Never mind the fact that the ending is blatantly non-canon.

Ya know about Brainiac 5 I never liked his design of just being a green-skinned human looking being.

Its more nostalgic bias for me cause I watched the Legion of Superheroes cartoon when I was kid & I really liked his looked there. I consider his regular design rather plain & boring in comparison. Especially how looked in Justice League Unlimited. Its extremely low-key & simple.

I'm surprised he isn't a premier skin.
