Why the heck would they pay to have the actress come and voice a TV show skin when nobody watches the TV show?

They likely would pay her normal VA wage, and it's promotion for the show. They did the same thing for Arrow in Injustice 1

Black Canary is clearly modeled after Kristen Bell, right? I can't be the only one who sees the resemblance.

Even though Dr. Fate came first by decades, I'm sure it'll be easier to say "Dr. Fate is DC's Dr. Strange".

The Injustice 2 characters actually have facial scan actors in addition to their voice actors, so while she might look like Kristen Bell I'm sure it's someone else's face. they might have gone for someone with that kind of look though

It's interesting seeing the face scan mocap stuff get used in more games after it seemed like everyone abandoned the idea post-LA Noire. Netherrealm is doing a pretty good job with it, though the earlier trailers looked kind of weird

regardless of any complaints about their face tech, they've absolutely made huge strides from not only the face rendering from MK9/Injustice 1, but really moved far away from the objectively gross models they used for female characters (Kitana, Mileena, etc) You already see that in MKX and most characters save for like Catwoman look way better for it.

I'm intrigued and cautiously hopeful that Superman as an embittered antihero in this story might end up being interesting, but I'm also cynically prepared for things to fizzle into a hamfisted redemptive arc with him. Guess we'll see.

The face models have been refined a lot, so they've changed, but more noticeably the lighting system's been overhauled entirely which makes more of a difference than you'd expect. The animations have also been adjusted a lot since then which makes a big difference too.

It was just earlier versions of everything basically. Stuff looks great now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLJW-0Qrjvk Robin looks cool. Command runs are always fun to play around with and his ex-DP leading to a full combo is going to piss a lot of people off lmao. It's also cool seeing people literally melt down over it being Damien instead of any of the other kids.

EDIT: Dr. Fate looks cool too. It sucks that his dash isn't actually a tp though :(

Dr. Fate is a really sick zoner, absolutely embodies being a wizard. Robin and his costumes are great and I love his mixups with the birdarang.

Don't miss the Swamp Thing/Cheetah match at the end, either; great showcase of how to counter a character with the other. I'm really loving all the characters on debut so far and hopefully we're going to be getting Flash soon, too.

Black Adam

DLC Inc
Jun 1, 2011


I'm completely convinced Shazam will be a premiere skin for him now. More than ever Black Adam looks extremely similar to Shazam in terms of pose and costume (he didn't have a cape in the previous game) I'm not upset by this since they're practically the same powerset of thunder magic and uberpowered poo poo anyway.

Scarecrow and Captain Cold are the last "new" characters we haven't really seen up close (though Cold kind of appears in a cutscene and Scarecrow's poo poo was leaked through mobile appearances.) The only character we haven't seen now is Joker. Anything apart from that will be a surprise, which we could still get; there are still a few slots on the website that aren't really for DLC.

That supposed leak that listed Premiere Costumes for everyone said Red Hood would be in (and have an Arkham Knight skin) and so would Starfire (with a Blackfire skin) so I'm holding out some hope that it's legit, but at this point I'm skeptical since the rest of it could just be piggybacking off the previous leak.

That said, Black Adam's super move is rad as hell

smashing someone into a pyramid and having the top blow off like a teakettle so lightning fries your enemy is loving rad. Robin, Deadshot, Doctor Fate, Firestorm, and Wonder Woman have the most boring finishers I've seen so far.

It's going to be fun going through story/arcade mode with him and watching him blow the same pyramid to fuckery eight times in a row.

all of them were rough as gently caress at the start and have gotten better. the gulf between this and even MKX is huge, it's still impressive by how much they improved since then. Catwoman and Black Adam look hilarious right now, though. I can't imagine how Joker is gonna look but it can't be worse than Injustice 1's snaggle-toothed lockjaw Joker with receding hairline.

I'm actually really stoked by how much variety is in the gear aesthetics. being able to go straight Evil Nightwing without the hoodie for Robin is cool and we might even get a bo-staff Nightwing alt skin.

And the jump from Injustice to MKX was mindblowing. Like for anything you can fault Netherrealm over, it's not a lack of trying to improve.

Always been a huge fan of Black Adam and his "no mood for your poo poo" attitude in the comics. Glad to see he seems to be getting a solid aesthetic treatment in this.

Black Adam is probably one of the most dangerous fuckers in DC history so it's cool he's going to be getting in Superman's poo poo in this game. Naturally Gavok's writeup is probably the best way to read about it but the dude singlehandedly caused World War 3 by killing like 2 million people in Asia and proceeded to destroy like every major landmark on earth. Presuming The Rock is still attached to the movie role I hope they go full bore with his absolute justice shtick.
