Me, but mostly because ranked doesn't use gear stats/abilities and I probably won't play anything other than that and local mp after the first few days.

It's not going to matter for the tryhards in any case, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a way for you to adjust the appearance of the gear to something else.

I keep looking at the silhouettes and the girl next to Raiden is totally the Enchantress look from Suicide Squad with the ragged hair, hands twitched to the side and belly dance skirt. The big shadows arms look too massive for even armor for Azrael. I mean it could be Spawn with a hood, but the gauntlets look more mechanical and with a massive dome head I almost think it could be Anti- Monitor. I'm totally lost on the two shadows with Manta. The guy is very plain but he has a utility belt. The other character has like no waist but has horns or cat ears with hair between it. I'm drawing blanks on who though.

I don't plan on using gear matters mode very often at all so I can have my beautiful look I want in competitive modes without worrying about silly stat crap bogging me down.

They had direct to dvd Titans films now with adult starfire so they'll probably use that voice if there grabbing someone. I'm just glad Cyborg's voice actor is like the defacto Cyborg

She's not nearly as bubbly in the comics. Still has some serious baggage behind her with readers however.

Nah, I think it looks pretty dumb. I honestly don't know why they do it, Shazam was grounded in IJ1 and he looked awesome.

I really want Raiden's ending to be a reveal that the Injustice universe is what happened after Raiden fiddled with the DCU, much like how New 52 was blamed on Dr. Manhattan.

the DC universe is the result of Raiden abusing time travel so much that the MK universe just slowly transitioned into being DC instead

I'm disappointed they went with the vacuous sexbomb New 52 design for Starfire. It's easily the worst costume she's ever had.

Whenever I think of Starfire these days, I usually am reminded of what I've always assumed was a scathing satire of her character in Garth Ennis' The Boys.

Yeah I always thought it was a missed opportunity to have characters who die in mirror matches shift back into Shang Tsung, make it a joke that he always loses.

It was that point relatively midway through the series where they tried to give Starlight her "darker, sexier" reinvention. Her new outfit and hair were extremely evocative of New 52 Starfire. Like most of that series, it wasn't really funny so much as a vicious snipe against an industry trend at the time. Railing against sexuality is of course kind of a glass house issue for Ennis, but it was a good point to make.

I normally don't care about SP fighting game stuff, but this Multiverse stuff they're showing off looks rad. There are bosses in the Multiverse that you can equip specific gear to deal with (Kryptonite versus Kryptonians etc.), and each battle can have challenges (like "don't uppercut") that you can do to get an XP bonus.

I hope he gets the exact same moveset as Batgirl from Injustice 1 but with more damage. That way I can come in here and listen to everybody whining about it, more entertaining than the game will be for me.

Someone's going to be happy about that.

EDIT: lmao there's a modifier where Orange Lanterns show up randomly and make zones that give you dollarydoos if you stand in them.
