The quarter finals fights. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/mar/15/injustice-battle-arena-videos-batman-vs-wonder-woman-flash-vs-joker-aquaman-vs-green-lantern-and-superman-vs-green-arrow/

I love that Dictator Superman has a unique intro and outro.

That attention to detail is just so awesome. Although have to say that Superman vs Green Arrow should have lasted a bit more, like the other battles.

Another article and picture of Adam. He looks awesome! I don't think I ever wanted a game more than Injustice. Will be there for midnight launch.

I already pre-ordered this at GameStop and I'll probably purchase the DLC season pass, too.

I'm such a sap for this kinda stuff and I don't normally buy DLC content at all, so I don't mind splurging on this.

There are two characters yet to be revealed and rumor has it that they will be Killer Frost and Ares.

I'm hoping for some unlockable content and hopefully Black Canary is in the game.

[captmorgan72]

I'm getting mine from Chinamart, err Walmart. I don't really care for the Red Son skins but do like the Arkham skins. I am willing to bet the farm that one of those dlcs is Martian Manhunter.

Found a great render of Adam. He looks fantastic.

[laughing paradox]

A site leaked Ares and Killer Frost renders.





I think they both look pretty awesome. This should be out in about two or three weeks. I can't wait.

[captmorgan72]

I actually really like NetherRealm's costume design for Superman. I think it looks fantastic.

[laughing paradox]

There's a demo out on Xbox and PS3 for this game.

I tried it already on the Xbox... it's actually a lot of fun!

[juancho]

I preordered mine today. Collectors Edition. I just want the bats vs Diana figure

[captmorgan72]

I've been playing the demo for hours on the ps3 and paradox is right, its a lot of fun. I guess I need lots of practice though, because medium is too easy and hard is too hard, lol.

[captmorgan72]

Killer Frost vs Ares. They both look incredible.

The first DLC character is going to be revealed on Monday, so that should be interesting.

There's also a free Injustice game app for the iPad and iPhone that allows you to unlock things for the console game, and vice versa. The game is actually kinda fun!

One of the cool things you can unlock is a Batman Beyond skin for the console version of Batman.

[Starman]

I'm playing Injustice on my iphone at the moment (it's ok) ... I didn't realise you could use it to unlock stuff in the console version! Cool!

[captmorgan72]

Picked up my copy today, finished the story mode and played vs mode and some Star Lab missions. I absolutely love it. Loved the story, thought it was great. I liked hearing a lot of familiar voices from the JL cartoon I used to watch. Looking forward to the dlc.

[laughing paradox]

I bought it yesterday.

Not a disappointing purchase. The story is a lot of fun. There is a ton of things to do and master. I'll be playing this for a long while.

[captmorgan72]

Good to see I'm not the only one enjoying Injustice here on FR. I unlocked Shazam's new 52 costume today completing his Star Lab missions. I didn't even know it was in the game. I actually really like NeatherRealm's design for him. In the story

Spoiler

what Superman did to Shazam was almost the same thing he did to Black Adam in the DC Online cgi intro

[BentonGrey]

I may pick this up eventually, despite my dislike for the ridiculous conceits of superhero fighting games.  The fact that Aquaman is a major player is hard to resist...if Hawkman were in it rather than Hawkgirl, it'd be a certainty.  If the Atom were in it, that might also tilt the scales.

Arthur IS a major player Benton. He is like one of the main characters in the story. He is also a major bad a$$ and everyone respects him for it. Ed Boon said that it was his goal to destroy the wussie image that Aquaman has had over the years. He sure succeeded in doing that too. As far as Atom and Hawkman being added, nothing is off the table as far as dlc goes. Some argued that adding Black Adam when Shazam was already in would be redundant, but that has been proven to be completely false. 

[BentonGrey]

That's good to hear, CM.  I'll probably wait for a while and see what develops.  If Hawkman and the Atom, and/or Black Manta and Ocean Master show up in DLC for reasonable prices, I'd be sold.

[JeyNyce]

If you guys have been following the fights online you should be getting your Arrow skin in an email soon.  I got mine this morning

[captmorgan72]

This skin/model of Black Adam is really growing on me. I am thinking it should be the standard look for Adam.

So, despite my copy having been ordered and sceduled to arrive on the 16th, my order apparently got lost in transit and it wasn't until I put in an official inquiry on it that wal mart bothered to tell me about it.

I do not need this headache in my life. this game better be worth the effort (and no, I won't take morgan's word for it, he clearly loved the game beforehand)

Lol, was I that obvious Mato? If you like fighting games, you will love this. There is plenty to do after you are done with the story. Are you getting it for the 360 or PS3?

[Tomato]

I finally got it today, got to play it for a few hours. I have to go to work now, but my initial thoughts are... good. I still hate the many of the core costume designs (I dislike Aquaman's fake armor, and Batman's segmented mask) but the story itself isn't bad, and the mechanics are also good from what I can tell. As I've said before, I'm not a guy who really enjoys 2d fighting games, so I can't give an in depth analysis on character balancing or anything, but the story is engaging enough that I'm still having fun.

I don't know that I'd recommend it to other critics yet (Though I do think you'll like it Benton, the story is very reminiscent to the old Justice Lords arc from JL)
because I want to see the story in full first, but it's growing on me. I think the Star Labs stuff will get old looooong before I go through those, but they're amusing diversions if nothing else.

And for the record, I had to stop prior to the GA/Killer Frost fight.

[captmorgan72]

Yeah, the Star Labs stuff had my attention for about 10 minutes. I can't see myself doing any of those again, way too tedious. What do you mean by Aquaman's fake armor? I can see the look they (NetherRealm) were going for. His armor looks to be influenced by things you would find in the deep sea. How do you feel about Black Adam's regime costume? I think it looks great, heavily influenced by the ancient Egyptian look. I could easily imagine that is what he looked like thousands of years ago when he was Mighty Adam. I think too many people get worked up that these characters don't look like the same cookie cutter characters they are used to seeing. Black Adam and Shazam (Captain Marvel) has looked the same for over 40 years until New 52 changed things up a bit. I guess some people don't like change.

[Tomato]

I haven't unlocked BA's regime costume yet, and I haven't seen him in action in the story. I'll reserve judgement on that on until then.

As far as Aquaman goes, what bugs me most is that there really isn't a comic-like version of it to use. I'm a sucker for Arthur's classic orange and green duds, and the costume only barely resembles that one. If there was an alternate that had him in something more classic, I'd be much happier, especially since he's probably my favorite to play
