He stripped her naked and took photos of her, but he did the same thing to Jim. It was definitely monstrous and assault but I doubt he was cumming in his pants during either of them. Especially since Batman is his main thing and all.

You don't need to do it out of a desire for pleasure for it to be sexual assault.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


One of Joker's many hosed up tortures that may or may not even be canon in this game's universe meeting the legal definition of sexual assault doesn't not make it a wild exaggeration to call Joker a "rapist clown".

This conversation is really stupid.

It is. She got fixed after her father died but it's referenced both in-game and in-comic.

Right but we have no idea if it went down exactly like in the Killing Joke. I don't even know if mainline DC's version of events still went down exactly like in Killing Joke since they've had several reboots.

I could have sworn that they made it canon that he did, but some quick googling says that while it could be implied he did, there's nothing that made it official. He has apparently raped other women though, just not Barbara.

I just really hate what the Joker has become; he's basically the killer in lovely modern horror movie these days.

I hate modern Joker too, I just think it's weird to hold a misinterpretation of a part of a 30 year old story that the author himself regrets writing against the character.

I didn't know about those other rapes, but I guess after Dr. Light I shouldn't be surprised.

I think the real thing to take away here is that DC makes terrible choices.

I wonder how the Joker comes back in this considering the thing that began all the troubles in the Injustice universe was Superman putting his fist through him.

Green Arrow (from the Injustice Universe) was also killed by Superman (in the Injustice Year One comic.) and was referenced in the game as being dead.

He's in this game and back from the dead. And in fact in this video he even straight up says this in his opening to Captain Cold.

Green Arrow died and came back because part of his goo was still stuck on Superman's cape which would be hilarious in the Injustice universe.

They've decided to reveal 3 DLC characters for Injustice 2. There is something so seriously wrong about DLC being released before the game itself is out. It's already approaching $70 for the base game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eqGjIIOV2Q

Sub-Zero is the best character in his franchise though, so I can't lie, I'm happy to see him. Even if he looks like the Mask of the Phantasm.

Aphrodite

They've also basically confirmed Black Manta and Raiden with the most obvious silhouettes ever.

I don't have speakers on this computer, does it actually say the DLC will be out right away?

Sea Lily

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

The DLC is probably not going to be available at launch (except for Darkseid who is preorder bonus DLC).

If it were any other company doing this I'd be rolling my eyes at it, but Netherrealm does such a good job with their DLC characters and supports their games so long-term I can't really hate on it. We're getting at least 9 total (10 with Darkseid, then maybe more), all of them with a buttload of gear and alternate moves and stuff like everyone else, probably some of them with Premier Costumes (like the Supergirl -> Powergirl or Flash -> Reverse Flash ones).

I fully bought into the bullshit and preordered the Ultimate Edition (which isnt that bad with the best buy GCU discount. or the amazon discount) so i'm probably biased though

They're already talking about a second set of DLC. As long as it doesn't bomb it's likely.

Yeah I bought the Ultimate Edition too. The Amazon Prime discount is great. $85 isn't bad at all for what you get.

Marvel put out a press release saying some of their comics in August will feature Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite-themed variant covers. People on the internet are speculating that each cover will feature one character from the roster, making for a total of 20 characters on the Marvel side.

Here's the full list of featured comics, with my guesses as to what characters they'll pertain to in bold:

quote:

1. ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #7 - Star-Lord
2. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #31 - Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
3. AVENGERS #10 - Ultron
4. BLACK PANTHER #17 - Black Panther
5. CHAMPIONS #11 - Ms. Marvel
6. DEFENDERS #4 - Daredevil/Iron Fist
7. DOCTOR STRANGE #24 - Doctor Strange
8. GENERATIONS: BANNER HULK & THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #1 - The Hulk
9. GENERATIONS: THE UNWORTHY THOR & THE MIGHTY THOR #1 - Thor
10. HAWKEYE #9 - Hawkeye
11. I AM GROOT #4 - Ronan/Gamora
12. INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10 - Iron Man
13. MIGHTY THOR #22 - Loki
14. ROCKET #4 - Rocket Raccoon
15. SECRET EMPIRE #8 - Captain America
16. SPIDER-MAN #19 - Spider-Man (Miles Moralis)
17. SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #20 - Doc Ock (Maybe Deadpool??)
18. THANOS #10 - Thanos
19. THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL #8 - Captain Marvel
20. VENOM #153 - Venom

Nova not returning from MvC3 would make me a little sad, but I'm very excited for Venom's long-awaited comeback to the vs. games. :tem:

Injustice managed to have Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl with completely separate movesets, they can do whatever.

It does seem a little telling that none of those books are X-books. However, Hawkeye stars Bishop, not Barton. Wouldn't they want to do Occupy Avengers or something instead?

I would 100% love that, but Barton's already been announced. I doubt they'll spend two roster spots on arrow people, and while an alternate Kate skin works in something like Marvel Heroes, hit box positioning is much more crucial and Kate is significantly shorter than Clint

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 had Adamantium Wolverine and Boneclaw Wolverine as two separate characters with completely different movesets. I'm sure they could pull off two Spider-Men just as well.
