(Kevin Smith is awesome)

Yes, Sinestro is a master of fear. However,, in Injustice, Superman has already lost Lois, his child, Jimmy, and Metropolis. What does he have left to fear losing?

Hmmm. Expert marksmanship vs mace, flight, & warrior skills. Tough call. Ollie can definitely hit a moving target, and in The Dark Knight Returns, he shot Superman with a kryptonite arrow, upside down, with one arm gone. Close call, but I'd have to say Green Arrow.

is kevin smith a little dumb? all of the rings are technological and powered by emotions. In no way is Superman weak against any of the rings.

actually Sinestro corps rings have the ability to simulate red sun/kryptonite radiation . the same ability GL's used to have. but i agree with you, Kevin Smith's comic knowledge is kinda iffy (assuming he's not just faking ignorance for the non-comic fans)

I did not know that. As far as I know, it wasn't too much of a challenge for supes. But yes, I've heard him giving lots of very strange comments but thinking back he might just be the devil's advocate.

have Sinestro and Superman fought recently? its a rather new ability so its possible Sinestro hasnt had a chance to use it on Kal

I meant I don't think it'll be a challenge for Kal since there wasn't any news about it. But I don't think creating red sun rays is possible because everything would be filtered out to be yellow in shade. It sounds possible to simulate kryptonite radiation though but I haven't seen it. Got any feats to show?

nah, no scan or anything. just vague memories of Sinestro corps War and various sites confirming the ability. i dont really see why Sinestro woldnt be a challenge. Clark has had a tough time facing Hal and the like, throw in a master strategist like Sinestro and thats gonna be one tough battle.

@.Ajax.: They chose hawkwoman over hawkman to add more females to the game. And Hawkwoman is an obvious after WW because she was in cartoon JL. I mean out of those WW, what other women can the DC put in the game that is instantly recognizable to the general public?

I still think a Red Lantern would be perfect for a fighting game like this. Atrocitus is the logical choice, but if they're lacking female characters, Bleez could be used instead.

Boon says popularity is the primary factor for this game and Sinestro is the most popular evil Lantern

I hope they are putting in Darkseid as a secret boss or bonus character, that would be awesome.

@SmashBrawler: I waiting for Zatanna since they announced the game, therefore I get pissed off every time they confirm another character. :P

If Zatanna isn't in here would you be satisfied with Raven or Dr.Fate?

Nope, one does not simply be satisfied in a fighting game without playing with a favorite character.

WOW some people want some weak as characters in this game. I can see Dr Fate or Black Adam (I thought he was all but confirmed) but Zatanna or Raven? Poisin Ivy? Constantine? Who the hell would want to play as them. It's bad enought Harley is in this. What a waist of what could be a good character. There were so many other better female characters they could have used. Super Girl, Power Girl, Black Canary with her voice thingy. Even Swamp Thing could work well. Martain Manhunter too. I always thought Blue Beetle might make the cut because of the options people could have with him. I'm glad Sinestro is in the game tho. I'm hoping they come out with multiple player DLC's too. So many opertunities to do this right. Team packs, G.L. packs. Colored corps member packs, Villain packs like the Rogues, or Supermans enemies in a bundle. Imagine being able to buy Metallo, Parasite, and Brainiac in a pack. that would be so cool.

With your logic even Batman shouldnt be in, he stands about the same amount of chance against characters like Shazam and Superman as Zatanna or Raven/Ivy would, except they would be unique rather then another street brawler.

I am really excited about Hawkgirl, I like the character and we desperatly need more females.

I am however less excited about Sinestro, he is cool and all but we already have a lantern, I feel like his spot would be better occupied by someone more unique like Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Captain Cold, Martian Manhunter.. etc.. You get the point.

Ed Boon said a lot that Hawk Man would never be in his game, but that was all a cloud of smoke to hide the obvious plan to put Hawk Girl in the game instead, good swerve Mr. Boon.. Can't wait for this f'n game, about a month and a half away, providing no delays!

@CrimsonCake: Personally, I wouldn't be satisfied. But Zatanna is one of my top three favourite DC characters (after Batman and Catwoman).

Sinestro will be demolished by Superman.

Also wouldn't Sinestro just be a Hal Jordan Green Landern clone but with a yellow costume/skin?

Going by that logic Sektor is useless since he's just a Cyrax clone, after all both are cyborg ninjas that use laser weapons and bombs. Harley Quinn is useless too because she's just a Joker clone, after all both are psycho clowns without powers. I'd say it's pretty obvious NetherRealm will give Sinestro an entirely different playstyle.

Black Canary, Raven, and Martian Manhunter should be in the game. Is Poison Ivy in the game? If not, then her too. More female characters!

Also, I like Hawkgirl. She is pretty cool.

Really? SINESTRO?

you realize Sinestro is probably the most recognizable DC villain outside of bats and supes rogue gallery, and hes a threat go read sinestro corps war and get back to us. I really do want Dr. Fate, Zattana, or Constantine in this game just for a magic element but I know this isn't going to happen. I would also love a Martian Manhunter, Gorrilla Grodd, and hopefully some good boss character (i.e. Nekron, Specter, Apocolypse). Other character such as swamp thing, animal man, creeper, Booster Gold, and metamorpho are pipe dreams

@The_Lunact_And_Manic: Oh. That's pretty understandable, I guess. I would like to see Zatanna too, this game needs more women and I'd be interested in seeing her in a fighting game by NRS. I thought you were just going to go with that lame "Sinestro is just a Hal Jordan color swap" argument.

I think Martian Manhunter is going to be dlc cause in ed boon's crossword puzzle you can find the words (no mmhunter). Im hoping that Raven,Zatanna, Black Canary or Starfire get revealed next

Hope so, little shocked they chose Hawkgirl over J'onn....so he BETTER be DLC lol.

Sinestro surprised me a little, was hoping it was MMH or Doomsday but Sinestro peaks my interest. Hawkgirl ehh. lol I don't hate her but was never a fan either.
