History YMMV / InjusticeGodsAmongUs

** Zatanna's [[Creator/LaceyChabert voice actress]] uses the same voice used in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. It's fine in that show... where she's a teenager. Here, it sounds a little too young for what appears to be a more adult physique (and in the comics, Zatanna is supposed to be around the same age as Bruce Wayne/Batman). If she's meant to be a fairly young adult (say, early twenties), it would be understandable, but as it is, it can be somewhat jarring. Especially, since the game has [[Creator/JenniferHale another actress]] who is [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague already]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold known]] for playing an adult Zatanna amongst the cast members.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The comic gets hit with a lot of this, to the point where many just skip out on it and enjoy the game proper. A major criticism is that it tends to rely too much on killing off characters for shock value, or [[StuffedIntoTheFridge as plot devices]], rather than take time for character or story development. For instance, it wasn't enough that Lois Lane had to die, she was also pregnant at the time. Just about every superhero winds up stabbing another superhero in the back. Batman even disowns his own son. The villains actually seem to be the most trustworthy characters. And, of course, the massive amounts of DoomedByCanon, which means that the Regime is gonna massacre a ''hell'' of a lot of people and the audience is gonna have to be satisfied with only putting them in jail.

* GameBreaker: From the mobile version:
** Arkham Origins Deathstroke. His passive allows him to do obscene amounts of unblockable damage on special 1 if he hits 200% (around 80% of a maxed card's full health)... which the AI (including the online defend AI) ''always'' achieved. Coupled with the staggering 56% promotion damage bonus on top of his base damage, he got so ridiculous that eventaully Netherrealm changed his AI behaviour so that it doesn't get 200% every single time, but he remained easily the most dangerous card in the game to the point when they released Red Son Green Lantern, they changed his passive so that he makes Red Son characters immune to crits, practically designed to make AO Deathstroke useless.
** Regime Killer Frost. It didn't help that she was plagued by bugs in multiple ways, including one that makes her ''stop all power generation'' upon special move activation instead of the stated 50%, which is still not fixed. Coupled with her 50% slow (which makes it very hard to block during a basic combo, if you can land them at all), a whooping ''90%'' healing reduction that affects all your cards whether she is tagged in or not and another bug that prevented many players from getting her at all, she got rather infamous.
** Raven. Her passive swaps health with her opponent when she falls below 20% ''twice'' per match. Basically, it allows her to steal 80% of two opponent's maximum health and heal roughly the same amount. Unlike the above two, she is not as good in multiplayer defense because it is relatively easy to burst her down without triggering her passive, but [[ItsEasySoItSucks she becomes insanely powerful when controlled by the player]]. With some block gear, even an E0 Raven can bring two maxed cards almost 10 times as strong to near-death.
** Ares. He has the single highest damage stat in the game (barring AODS's passive). His special 2 is a humongous one-hit nuke that is unblockable ''and'' disables blocks for 10 seconds, basically making him an extremely simple "press s2 to win" character.
** Man of Steel Superman, even considered as an example by Netherrealm themselves: his passive gives him a 30% chance of using no power on any move, allowing him to theoretically pull off unlimited back-to-back super moves for massive damage... if you are really, really lucky. While he is considered one of the most powerful cards especially in single player, it is generally too unreliable in multiplayer, yet Netherrealm made the rare decision to nerf him so that his passive only affects specials but not supers, as well as Regime Wonder Woman, lowering her power generation from blocking (maybe more justified because it promotes a zero-effort playstyle).
** Default Killer Frost isn't far behind in this category as her very presence on a team dampens power generation for the entire team, thus making any match against her an annoyingly long slug fest, especially if she has healing gear equipped.
** Videogame/Injustice2 Superman in a reversal of the trend of Superman variants with ineffectual passives, can cancel out the first special he takes without blocking, allowing him to NoSell power drains, [=DOT=] of any kind and all other effects such as freezing, thereby nullifying all the others on this list. And he can do this each time he tags in, effectively neutralizing any and all enemy specials if timed right. His second special if unblocked is also extremely powerful and capable of instantly wiping out all three members of an opposing team.

* BrokenBase: Superman being a victim of the Worf Effect all the time, many people like that Superman receives beatings, while others consider that these fights make him seem too weak, for someone who is supposedly the most powerful member of the regime.

** Injustice Batman in the comics and main game is either a true IconOfRebellion, or a self-righteous, judgmental JerkAss who makes supporters die for lost causes, such as having a bunch of BadassNormal heroes go against Darkseid's legions in an obviously suicidal action while ''still'' condemning Superman for killing Parademons, an action which saved millions of lives (including that of Batman and his team-mates). He could probably have reined Superman in by working alongside him, as Clark offered when asking for emotional support. Batman refuses and this makes Superman pretty much isolated turning to a violent Wonder Woman and later, Sinestro, for guidance. Instead, Batman engages in petty surveillance and bugging schemes on Superman and the Justice League and ''still'' complains when Superman "outs" his SecretIdentity in revenge. He also continues to [[spoiler:insist on ThouShaltNotKill to Black Canary, despite knowing how dangerous it is to keep KnightTemplar Superman in line. Indeed, this action kills Dinah, and only by Doctor Fate's intervention she survived]]. What's more, in the issue 23 of Year Five Bruce asks Alfred if he really is this.

** While no one will argue that Superman JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope is a good thing, the fact is that in the comics, a lot of the "extreme" measures taken by Superman and criticized by Batman as BewareTheSuperman are on the face of it, practical and reasonable. Like annihilating all the parademons in a single revolution saved countless human lives, including those of his team-mates who were strained fighting this situation. Batman himself comes across as a FailureHero whose main asset is self-righteousness on how he maintains ThouShaltNotKill over Superman when he has never been in anything like the same situation as he, nor is he willing to compromise and try and temper Superman when the latter, at least in earlier issues, is seeking his approval or guidance when he's at his most troubled. Huntress subscribes to this in-universe at first, outright asking Batman how Superman dealing with the parademons the way he did is a bad thing and threatening to walk away from the Insurgency because Batman has no strong arguments against Superman.

** When the Regime's Hal Jordan surrenders near the end of the game, is he finally doing the right thing, as Clark suggests? Or is he doing what he's done all along, refusing to stand up to Superman?

* DesignatedHero:
** Insurgency Batman, who condemns Superman for taking Joker's life, but ignores the fact that the Joker has repeatedly escaped Arkham and commited heinous crimes. Some of his decisions come off as accepted as right simply because he's Batman. Huntress at one point even asks him outright (after Batman condemns Superman's killing off the Parademon waves during Kalibak's invasion, which in turn actually saved several of Batman's team-mates' lives), "Explain to Ollie and Dinah why their being alive is objectionable, Bruce!"
** Insurgency Harley. Her whole raison d'etre in the Insurgency is that Superman killed the Joker, and nothing else. She somehow doesn't acknowledge that Joker brought it on himself by pushing Superman past the DespairEventHorizon, and is somehow never really called out on her own complicity in the destruction of Metropolis, and remains a KarmaHoudini for it. And yet we're supposed to root for her simply because she's a CloudCuckoolander and in mourning. It takes the good Lex's intervention late in the story for her to have an actual HeelFaceTurn.

* RootingForTheEmpire: The extreme lack of nuance between Injustice Batman and Injustice Superman and the tiredness of the [=AU=] BewareTheSuperman trope has led fans to actively root for the Regime, especially given Batman's GeneralFailure reputation, his utter lack of responsibility to his own soldiers who he leads to death, and his refusal to negotiate or compromise with Superman on any issue, even ComicBook/TheJoker's death or that of Parademons.

* HarsherInHindsight: Injustice Superman's ArmorPiercingQuestion to Ganthet becomes ever more serious when we find out in the [[VideoGame/Injustice2 sequel]] that ''[[PlanetLooters Brainiac]]'' was the reason for Krypton's destruction as opposed to a natural event. We find out that the ignorant and arrogant [[CorruptPolitician leaders]] Superman was talking about '''''weren't''''' the leaders of ''Krypton'' for failing to evacuate the planet due it's natural destruction, but the ''Guardians'' for not interfering with Brainiac's attack on Krypton, and [[BlatantLies claiming]] they [[NeverMyFault doomed]] ''themselves''.

ZERO-CONTEXT EXAMPLE. What is the connection between Superman's question and Brainiac's actions?

* CryForTheDevil: While Regime Doomsday is not a good person, to say the least. It is pretty easy to feel bad for him considering he is enslaved by the Regime and forced to work for them as a mindless brute. He pretty clearly hates having to do this but has no choice, and in the end, he ends up thrown into the Phantom Zone.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The comic gets hit with a lot of this, to the point where many just skip out on it and enjoy the game proper.

* MagnificentBastard: [[Characters/BatmanDeathstroke Deathstroke]] was a mercenary and assassin and a major enemy of the [[Franchise/TeenTitans Titans]], whom he tried to kill on many occasions. After the rise of [[Characters/InjusticeSuperman Superman]]'s [[Characters/InjusticeOneEarthRegime regime]], Deathstroke lost most of his work. He was brought back into action when [[Characters/InjusticeBatman Batman]] contacts him, hiring him to steal a Mother Box from the Regime for Batman's plans. He manages to get to it, but knowing he can't escape, he sends Batman the Mother Box's model so he can copy it before he is captured by the Regime. After being tortured by the Regime, he joins the Insurgency and ends up on a mission with ComicBook/{{Cyborg}}; during it, he enacts his own plan. He first takes out Shazam and Flash with creative usage of bombs, then sabotages the Watchtower reactor to blow up, not caring about it putting the Insurgency's plans in jeopardy. He is then sent on another mission by Lex Luthor, in which he sneaks up on and ties up Franchise/WonderWoman, later taking her down by analyzing her fighting style and outsmarting her.

* CompleteMonster: ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} is the [[EvilOverlord despotic ruler]] of the planet Apokolips and [[ArchEnemy one of the most sworn and powerful enemies]] of [[Characters/InjusticeSuperman Superman]]. Torturing Black Racer into submission, Darkseid allows his son Kalibak to lead an assault on Earth, killing tens of thousands of people, before his army was destroyed by Superman. Angered at the fact that Superman sullied his reputation by killing Kalibak, Darkseid starts scheming the destruction of Superman more aggressively, first hiring Lobo to take him down and then, when that failed, joining the conspiracy with Ares and Hera, manipulating humans, superheroes, and Olympians into a bloody conflict, with the human government even launching nukes as a result. After this, Darkseid [[ComicBook/InjusticeVsMastersOfTheUniverse found the weakened Skeletor]] in the cosmos, and from him, he found the location of the solution to Anti-Life Equation to be in Castle Greyskull. Invading Eternia, Darkseid kills, captures and transforms thousands of people into his obedient slaves, as he tries to uncover Anti-Life Equation, to [[MultiversalConqueror take control of the multiverse]], killing the minds and personalities of every living being aside from himself.

* ThatOneAttack: The game has quite a few moves that fans don’t like much.

*** Dooomsday’s trait Doom to All gives him armor that makes it impossible to combo against him, knock him down or hit him at all without putting yourself at risk of a punish.

** Killer Frost’s slide is also pretty disliked because it is a fast slide that can start damaging combos.

** Nightwing in Staff stance. Almost all of his attacks in this are safe on block and most of those moves give him frame advantage. Combine that with long reaching attacks and good mixups you got pressure monster.

* ThatOneAttack:

** Superman has a few of these. His Eye Lasers hit across the full Screen, builds meter, and does solid damage and chips, and its even better when meter burned. His super move has [[ImmuneToFlinching super armor]], goes all the way across the screen, and executes in only 2 frames. (For reference, most normal standing light attacks take 10 frames to execute.) None of the other super moves are anywhere as good as it.

** Batgirl has an almost limitlessly ranged move where she teleports right to her opponent and grabs them. The AI uses this move for all it's worth and makes it almost impossible to launch any attacks that she won't just intercept.

** "Year Four": {{ComicBook/Ares|DC}} is the [[WarGod God of War]] and an ancient enemy of ComicBook/WonderWoman. After the rise of Superman's Regime, Ares was terrified of the idea of this alliance since it would mean he would be starved of all conflict which he needs to survive, so he allies with ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}. He manipulates the Olympian gods into coming to Earth to reclaim it and [[PlayingBothSides works for both the Insurgency and The Regime]] as a way of pitting the two against each other to create anarchy in the world. His plan fails, and Ares is taken to Darkseid where he manages to escape from captivity and continue assisting the Insurgency in taking down the Regime, eventually playing a major role in its eventual fall.

* MagnificentBastard: ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} was a mercenary and assassin and a major enemy of the [[Franchise/TeenTitans Titans]], whom he tried to kill on many occasions. After the rise of [[Characters/InjusticeSuperman Superman]]'s [[Characters/InjusticeOneEarthRegime regime]], Deathstroke lost most of his work.

He is then sent on another mission by Lex Luthor, in which he sneaks up on and ties up Franchise/WonderWoman, later taking her down by analyzing her fighting style and outsmarting her.

* ScapegoatCreator: Creator/TomTaylor hasn't earned many of fans of Wonder Woman with her depiction in the series. In contrast to her Regime teammates, Taylor decided to double down on the game's depiction by deciding she was always evil rather than trying to explain how she ended up the way she did like with Superman. While one can debate such a decision and how it was depicted, it is worth noting he was working on a pre-established universe and has stated in interviews he doesn't consider this the "true Wonder Woman".

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In a case of EvenEvilHasStandards, when the alternate version of Ares explains to Aquaman that some of the villains who joined Superman were coerced. There seems to be a note of pity, if not outright sadness in his voice. Also his status as a god of war shows that he is somewhat a JerkassWoobie.

* CantUnHearIt: While bolstered by a number of cases from the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', this game did set up a number of voices fans imagine in their heads, including Creator/NealMcDonough as Barry Allen, and helped cemented Creator/TroyBaker and Creator/KimberlyBrooks as alternates for Nigthwing and Batgirl/Oracle (granted, unlike in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', Baker actually did voice Nightwing, as opposed to his grunts for Tim being reused).

* HarsherInHindsight: Watching Superman murder Shazam with HeatVision can be even more unnerving if you’ve seen ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'', where a sociopathic boy with Superman's powers kills his father like that in an even more gruesome way. It also becomes incredibly disturbing for anyone who has seen ''[[Series/TheBoys2019 The Boys]]'', due to a scene showing Homelander kills a woman by firing his EyeBeams [[EyeScream into her eyes]].
