So is this going to be a Mortal Kombat type of game? I'm not to sure if playing against or having only 5 characters in the game is going to be all that good

I believe it encompasses a larger selection of characters from the DC Universe.

I hope so cause their trailer or teaser trailer doesn't bring very much excitement to the game. All I see is five AMAZING characters having at it. Though the graphics look intense, the overall game play doesn't.

This is horrible...just horrible.

These Superhero fighting games never work out. Yea, it looks cool cause we always like to see our favorite character kicking ass, but they always suck. I'll pass.

Looks like these two will be part of the game as well.


‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Adds Lex Luthor & Bane
Jan 7, 2013 by Andrew Dyce

We didn’t need much convincing to get excited for Injustice: Gods Among Us, but the developers over at NetherRealm Studios aren’t letting that slow down their marketing. One of your most anticipated games of 2013, the selection of DC Comics’ most iconic heroes and villains getting ready to do battle in Injustice is growing by the day.

Some characters synonymous with violence and hand-to-hand combat were no-brainers (Deathstroke the Terminator, for one), but the game won’t just be a test of who the deadliest hero or villain really is. As evidence that NetherRealm has a wide scope of styles and tones, the newest pair of fighters revealed are none other than the megalomaniac Lex Luthor, and Batman’s back-breaking foe Bane.

The confirmation of Luthor and Bane as playable characters is not yet official, so we’ll have to wait for a full gameplay trailer to get a sense of their fighting styles in action. The reveal itself comes from an image that surfaced on NetherRealm boss and Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon’s Twitter. Featuring pages from @Gamer Magazine, the images show the visual style being taken for each fighter, which should be little surprise to comic book fans.

Along with the character models are brief descriptions of both Luthor and Bane. They may not be as impressive as actual footage, but they are promising for those fighter fans looking for genuinely unique movesets:

True to his hulking form, Bane is a power character and a master of grappling who uses wrestling-inspired moves without a projectile in sight. The Batman villain’s character trait is to pump venom through his body. When triggered, it amps up his power and makes him even more dangerous.

Superman’s nemesis is not only key to the story mode, but he’s also a heavy-duty fighter, thanks to his armored suit. Luthor relies heavily on gadget-based attacks, and can launch missiles and suck foes towards him. His special trait is a shield that can be powered up by holding a button.

With Luthor encased in his power armor (a villain we expected would show from the beginning) and Bane possibly exercising both a pre-Venom and post-Venom injection character model, the opportunity for some interesting attacks is present. The developers have claimed for quite a while that Injustice would surprise fans of the fighting genre, and it’s becoming clearer exactly what they mean.

With Bane fighting as a wrestler, and Luthor as a mechanized war machine, the balancing will need to be executed with precision if there’s even a slight chance of success. The developers already have acrobatic martial arts and plasma cannons to work with, so they’re clearly not shrinking from any challenges.

From a technical standpoint, the variety of fighters revealed so far seems to appeal to just about every playing style we can think of. The fact that each character seems equipped with moves and behaviors that reflect their comic book origins perfectly is just a bonus.

What do you think of Luthor and Bane going toe to toe with Joker or Green Arrow? Are there any fighters you think they won’t include in the game, but should? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Injustice: Gods Among Us releases April, 2013, for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

I wasn't a fan of this game initially, and I'm still not sold, but the lead up comics that are out are SICK! That image you got from my Google+ post is just the tip of the iceberg.

Looks like Batman has no reason to fight anymore. His archenemy looks to now be dead

The first add-on character for NetherRealm's Injustice: Gods Among Us is available for download today. Lobo is an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter, known for his love of space-cycles and cigars.

Lobo is free to download for all Season Pass owners; everyone else pays 400 MS Points ($5) to add him to the roster. Lobo is the first of four planned DLC characters, soon to be followed by Batgirl.

Three new DLC packs are also available for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The Teen Titans pack slaps alternate costumes on Cyborg, Raven and Deathstroke, while the Bad Girls pack groups together alternate versions of Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn – both are 240 MS Points ($3).

Finally, the Flashpoint collection, previously exclusive to Season Pass holders, dresses up Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Deathstroke in their alternate dimension "Flashpoint" ensembles for 320 MS Points ($4).

Lobo is a great add on, doesn't take too much effort to play with him. That's key when it comes to me being lazy. Button mashing approved.

Well its finally official folks, Zod will be the next DLC Character. According to Joystiq the heroes and villains of the DC Universe will soon kneel before Zod, as the perennial Superman villain has been revealed as Injustice: Gods Among Us' next DLC character. The announcement was made during the latest installment of Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer series

I absolutely love this one! Classic 60's Batman.

DC is suddenly really big on the 60's Batman. They've got a series out now based on the TV show from that era.

Hey, does anyone who is or has played this game, who has most to all of the console unlocks and challenges completed, but is not playing on the phone/tablet app, have a WB ID I can borrow?

Long story short, I can't spend $50 bucks to buy the game so I can get a couple free items. But the free stuff does go both ways, so you'll get stuff too.

I'm confused Dave. Does any have the game is that what you are asking? Lol I can send you my copy.

That'd be awesome, but I'm more just looking for the WB sign-in. Apparently you can create an account that links to your game and tracks accomplishments, and rewards them with items on the app. Thus works both ways, with appp accomplishments/achievements rewarded to the console version. Like, you can unlock Knightfall Bane on the console, through the app.
