I hear Power Girl is going to be one of the premium skin for supergirl? What's the difference between the two characters

power-wise in the comics and stuff not really much. Power Girl has pretty much just been a grown-up version of Supergirl, like if she was Superman's age instead of way younger

she's a good pick for a costume since she wouldn't bring anything to the game as her own separate character





hey what's some good Injustice 2 videos to watch to tide me over until the game hits? or just good youtubey people in general who will probably upload some good stuff as we get closer to launch? i don't know much about fighting game people on the internet

you can see the boob window in the lil thumbnail



but other than that it does look like the N52 design, so it's probably an original design inspired by a few of her looks

really the most interesting thing about the special other-character skins is that we've seen Reverse Flash show up in one of the story trailers already, so it's possible that Power Girl, other GLs, and any other currently unknown alt skins like this could be story-relevant characters despite not getting their own roster slot. which would be a cool way to add more people to the game's cast without it spiraling out of control in terms of roster bloat or the amount of work involved in making them all

Is that comic supposed to be an adaption of the game's storyline or is it like the I1 comics and it's stuff that happened before the game?

Either way, if he's not in the base game I expect Red Hood to be one of the bigger DLC picks. With an Arkham Knight costume, because they like to reuse Arkham series assets when they can.

The "fill my hole" edit has gotten around online so much without context that I'm not surprised some people don't know it's an edit.

That thing comes up basically anywhere people talk about the boob window.

She couldn't think of a symbol to wear on her chest, so she just used a big hole?

I'm surprised NRS didn't opt for Power Girl first and make Super Girl her DLC in that case. She seems right up their ally.

They know people will pay up for the boob window though

Gotta max out that microtransaction opportunity

Making Damian be Nightwing and Tim be Red Hood is super weird if that's their angle.

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

Were the weird looking faces at debut differant fce models or just unconjiggured face capture?

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.

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

I've definitely seen some older costumes split into parts. Superman has access to the Red Son emblem and colorscheme, Batman seems to have the Batman Beyond outfit split into pieces (I've seen the head and the chest at least), Wonder Woman has a couple different styles of her outfit's skirts and pants.

There's also the Premium Skins which work as a 'shader' slot item (i think?), so instead of an alt color it just replaces the entire outfit (and voicework, and sometimes animations) so they can still add in full skins as options if they need to do that. Which I'm sure they'll do for the upcoming Justice League movie, and rumors are that the CW characters are all getting in that way too. Wouldn't be surprised if some special looks sneak in as shaders, but other stuff can definitely be split up into gear. Which I kind of like, since it lets you do some interesting looks by mixing things together.

So is Grodd the main antagonist, or is this all a smokescreen to make us forget Brainiac is a thing.

Cause I am very OK with Grodd being the big bad no amount of space magic Brainiac has can be stronger than a Gorilla.

It's a three way faction war. Regime, Society, and the Insurgency. Then Brainiac shows up at the worst possible time to make it extra complicated.

Did they mention if this would change his outfit as well? A different color would mean a different Corp with a different symbol.

Definitely be a nice touch if they did.

The shaders are what change it so it will always coordinate to his outfit color, but they didn't mention the corps logo stuff as far as I've seen. Depends on if the chest logo is its own gear slot or not. Might be able to mix and match or something, I know Supes has tons of chest logos he can use

lol at that "OUTTA NOWHERE!!!!!!" achievement

I'm more curious about how Joker fits in, if at all, in the campaign and how he'll look. A lot of characters looked real bad in the last game and personally I felt Joker's design, especially his face, were atrocious. Don't even get me started on that ability.

In terms of story stuff? We've got Scarecrow. Batman and Superman both have some deep issues related to Joker that could totally result in hallucinating him for a fight or two somewhere along the storyline stuff. Alternately it looks like the game might start with some flashbacks to pre-Injustice-1 stuff before jumping to the current story and he could show up there?

But it's not hard to come up with an excuse for him to be in the story even though he's dead.

Black Manta is part of the Atlantis level's stage transition. That's where you probably saw him.

That DLC lines up too easily with popular player speculation, it's a list engineered to spread based on hype without looking like an actual NRS DLC list. It's just all the stuff people want to get thrown together with some guys from Ed Boon's Twitter polls.
