She's my current favourite for sure, but that's mainly because I love both the books she's in.

Two opinion based questions: firstly, does Catwoman look like she's based on somebody? I feel like she is but I can't place her, same with Wonder Woman, though I think WW might be Lynda Carter.

Secondly is anyone else hoping that the future DLCs includes Young Animal and Wild Storm characters?

She looks a lot like Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black.

Just kinda? No she's a total douche in this universe. And this is coming from a giant Wonder Woman geek. I have posters a poo poo ton of comics - the whole box set of the WW tv series, a signed trade from Lynda Carter when I was in Chicago and saw her sing at Market Days, etc...

The thing about Injustice is that Superman's downfall is less from his decision to kill Joker and more a complete failure of his own support system. Batman is kind of a real crappy friend (And I wish this got a bit more play), and Wonder Woman is literally the devil on his shoulder enabling his worst impulses.

I wish the incarnation of Ollie on Arrow was half as fun as Injustice Green Arrow. I just told Dr Fate that he needs to get laid then shot him in the dick with a boxing glove arrow.

What was Batman supposed to do, other than what he did? The whole point in Injustice 1 was that he couldn't be talked down. Proves true in 2 when after the immediate threat is over he does the same stuff all over again.

Why didn't they use the phantom zone in Injustice 1 any way
And I guess Injustice 2 sorta retcons the comic series in that it's Robin slitting Zsazs's throat instead of killing Nightwing what gets him thrown out of the family

I do not remember much of the Superfriends episodes where Darkseid was the main villain, except for this episode where Superman was thought to be dead. Of course he wasn't and it was a pretty good episode from what I remember, but it was a weirdly somber episode for that series.

The problem is that Batman a paranoid jerk who is unable to do anything without at least 2 different contingency plans to get what he wants which get inevitably exposed and makes things worse, rather than just simply trusting his friends and hoping for the best.

So what about player match? I feel like the entire system isn't explained at all. I've read it can be disabled completely but I have no idea if that's true or where it's applicable. I just want to rematch people over and over without some dumb RPG system saddled on.

To be fair it's hard to just trust and hope for the best when one wrong move can and did create a horrible fascist regime headed by an invincible immortal god king and a cadre of super powered lunatics

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Very dead. Damian killed him in the comics, so I'm not sure what the circumstances are in Injustice 2. That said, during a Damian/Batman intro, Damian says he's Batman's son, and Batman makes it a point to say Dick was his son, too, making his death canon.

No but I mean Damian runs around a bit as Nightwing in the story mode so he exists in the game files somewhere

It's always a disappointment when fighting games cut out characters for sequels even though in-universe they're dead (although this game has the perfect excuse as to why Lex and Shazam and the like could still be around)

He wasn't cut out. It's just an item (ability that gives you his staff) you can acquire that gives you Nightwing's fighting style.

Injustice Ollie is very much the "classic" Green Arrow. The currently-running comic owes a lot more to the "Arrow" TV show. Ollie is younger and the book's surprisingly grim.

Much like William Riker, Oliver Queen is much more enjoyable when he has a beard. You might check out the 2000s run of his comic; the first arc is very continuity-heavy because they had to bring him back to life, but after that, Brad Meltzer takes over as the writer and it's an easier, more fun read.

Yeah, IJ!Wondy is way more martial than the typical Diana, even right at the start. There's a story there that nobody's gotten around to telling. Maybe her earliest adventures in "Man's World" went worse for her.

IJ!Superman has also got to be way less tested and experienced than a typical canon Superman would be. Brainiac never came to Earth before IJ2, and Lex's a good guy. That's a good 50% off the top of a typical Superman's workload, to the point where I'm not even sure what other villains he'd be fighting. Toyman?

And yeah, this is very much Batman at his most paranoid and distrustful, who has learned almost none of the lessons that the main DCU comics Batman had to get pummeled into him over the course of several years. You can see that in the mirror match fight in the first Injustice's story mode; IJ!Batman is used to acting unilaterally, while the main universe Batman has a lot more faith in his allies and teammates.

Brother Eye goes back to a book Jack Kirby created in the '70s called OMAC, One Man Army Corps. It showed up later during Infinite Crisis (I think) as Batman's way-too-easy-to-hack surveillance satellite.

This game feels janky as hell, I honestly can't make heads or tails of it. The movement feels awful. It's such a bizarre experience to lose to people who clearly have serious trouble even performing simple inputs for specials. I'm really awful at it for sure.

NRS games are jank city, but they're a lot of fun once you get used to it. Some of the stuff is really obnoxious, like jump-in combos requiring you to input stuff really really early or else it won't combo. Also a lot of the animations are really bogus, it's hard to tell whether something will hit high/low/overhead from the animation alone. I've been playing NRS games since MK9 and still keep dropping combos because the inputs are so finicky without diagonals.

Still I'm having a blast with Atrocitus and Joker at the moment.
