Ah, I found it. Loved this page, especially since by sheer coincidence I read it less than a week after I'd seen BvS. I miss smiling Superman helping people too, kid.

If you mean in the video game, I agree, her powerset is at least different than the overabundance of "flying beam mans".

Having watched a bit of this despite my better judgment I can now say I really hope they write an actual ending because this is garbage. I don't want "Let's call the real heroes from an alternate universe to fix everything!" to be the end of the story. That's lame as hell.

Yeah but you see it from the perspective of the 'normal' universe, where they go to the broken alternate one and fix it. That's standard alternate universe storytelling there.

There is one thing in the comic that annoyed the poo poo out of me and I honestly can't tell if Buccellato messed up or if DC's editorial staff put their foot down on a non-canon digital series. A few years ago, DC had that whole bad PR situation where the creative team on Batwoman left early because DC wouldn't let her get married. DC doubled down on the stupidity by going "Hey, we're not anti-gay! We're just anti-marriage! Marriage is worse than cancer!" In Year Two, Batman's building up towards this huge siege against the Hall of Justice using both his own army of vigilantes (except for Black Lightning who for some reason just stopped showing up in the comic with no explanation) and the Gotham police. As Batman does his Bill Pullman ID4 speech, we get panels of different characters interacting with their loved ones. When he mentions "wives," we see Batwoman and Renee Montoya embracing and acting like this might be the last time they see each other. Taylor's subtly mentioning, in a one-off panel, that in his reality, Batwoman's indeed married. During Buccellato's run, he kills off Huntress. Not a big surprise, what with her not being in the game. Thing is, Montoya takes it badly. REALLY badly. Goes back to hard drinking badly. Tearfully calls up an old girlfriend badly. Overdoses on super pills and calls out Superman for a rage-filled suicide run badly. The kind of reaction you'd expect from having your spouse get killed. Meanwhile, Batwoman and Montoya have zero interaction during all this and Batwoman doesn't have any notable reaction to Montoya's death. So either DC was being extremely petty by saying that gay marriage can't exist in their Superman murder story (even when both spouses are dying) or Buccellato simply can't tell Huntress and Batwoman apart.

"Lame as hell" is a good way to describe about 95% of the story in the game. There are a few neat moments like Luthor's last stand, but it's largely awful.

The worst bit is when Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan tells Green Lantern Hal Jordan "You're awfully quick to judge the choices we've made, let me explain-" and GL Hal cuts him off and starts punching him. Phew! There was almost shades of grey in this story.

Because surely we are lacking stories where superheroes have shades of gray. It's a punching game. I don't care what reason Fear Mongering Hal has for following Nazi Superman. He's earned a right hook .

If you have over 2 hours of cutscenes maybe there should be more to your story than Good Guy Punches Bad Guy.

Yellow Hal betrayed the Corps, and was going to let Sinestro execute Guy Gardner before he got his yellow ring. Then he murders Guy himself. Something tells me Green Hal's not going to be sympathetic.

And throwing punches before you even have time to think is a very Hal Jordan thing to do.

Everyone already knew it was being announced next week anyway, but Gamestop leaked Injustice 2 so it's unofficially official now.

Flash and Batman ended the first game on the same side, but that could just be 2 random choices and not related to the story mode.

First time around Alfred (hopped up on super-pills) beats the ever living poo poo out of Superman. Second time Superman tries for a friendlier visit, but Batman is not there and just gets a dressing down from Alfred. And he's lucky that's all he got.

Veotax posted:As requested: Superman has gone evil and is pretty much in the process of taking over the world, Lex Luthor (who is Supes' friend in the Injustice universe) has created a pill that turns regular people into super humans and Superman is going to give this pill to his army to enforce his rule. Green Arrow and Batman break into the Fortress of Solitude to steal the pill, Arrow accidentally shoots Pa Kent (Superman kidnapped his parents for their own protection after the US tried threatening them to get to Supes) and Superman kills Arrow. Batman escapes with the pill, but Superman follows and beats the poo poo out of him.

Ghostlight posted:Well for a start the cave now has kryptonite in it. tbh I'm not that familiar with Superman (or DC in general for that matter) so I dunno how much a small ring's worth of kryptonite affects him. Like, would it just being in the cave shut down all his powers if he's within 500 yards or something?

There's actually a whole bit with Batman how he, personally, has devised countermeasures to disable every single member of the Justice League just in case like, they all decide to turn evil against him or something. I'm kind of surprised that there's never been a plotline about that, if I'm being honest. Batman v the JL.

I'm honestly unsure if you're joking, but it was. Like it's one of the more well-known Justice League stories, by Mark Waid.

Tower of Babel isn't actually Batman himself using his countermeasures though.
