Three Batman Villains Revealed in 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'

i would only want black mask or freeze. those three do not excite me at all

@UltraBiel, I don't recall mentioning MVC2, which was good(while the gameplay was broken and had loads of infinites, that's another story) but MVC2 was far better then MVC3. MVC3, was more or less a button masher the story wasn't great overall and I hate Capcom's greed with making 10 versions of the same game, instead of just using DLC like most games...

Anyway, concerning the Avengers point they put them in there because Marvel of late has been all about Avengers...the X-men movies people didn't like that much or were disappointed but notice Iron Man, Thor, etc people took way more interest in of late then you have the movie last year so they figured let's put in Avenger characters. A logical move but still, the story within the game was average at best. I'll even say X-Men Next Dimensions while the game was bad, the storyline was better overall then MVC3. It's not the same character list in DC games, you obviously never played DC Online? It has a LOAD of people not just Superman, Batman, WW etc. And what are you talking about? I can say the same thing int he first two MVC games like wolverine, storm, spiderman etc even MVC3 brought them back plus a few avengers(big whoop)

Marvel hasn't made an established game overall that can come anywhere close to Batman :AS or Batman: AC...the game is considered the best comic book game ever made thus far...for a reason. Task Force sucked, I have it. It's fun in a nostalgic way but more or less the Marvel Nemesis of DC games. MKDC didn't suck, the game itself was fun outside of a few issues(far less then MVC2 mind you) it wasn't as good as MK9 obviously...not even close but the storyline was at least well thought and they tried explaining it unlike MVC games where the story blows horribly...

Arcade games lol Marvel only had one from Konami, DC had none...so that's a poor comparison. Overall video game history wise, DC kills Marvel. Task Force, Batman, Superman etc vs. Xmen and Spiderman games which weren't arcade games, they were console games. All those nobody remembers, but once the DC and Marvel lego games came out, and Ultimate Alliance, Nemesis, Hulk Games, Superman games, Batman games, Batman, Rocksteady games, DC Online, JL:Heroes and now Injustice...it's really no comparison. DC clearly had better games overall compared to Marvel in the gaming world. You want to say Marvel has better on film movies, for the time being? Sure...but not video games...

I will wager Injustice sells more then MVC3 did, especially since MK9 did and that's not even a comic game. Granted, MK is a big game in the gaming world but still..it just proves Avengers aren't as big as people think. You have to remember, if not for the JL there would be no Avengers..

lol, you're talking about games based on movies? Uhh I have news for ya Marvel has also done it with

• Blade (video game)
• E-Electra(mobile game)

F

• Fantastic Four (2005 video game)
• Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (video game)

G

• Ghost Rider (video game)

H

• Hulk (video game)

So yeah, I just killed your theory of "only DC makes games based off of movies" seriously if that's yoru best argument and you have no idea that Marvel has tried the same marketing gimmick after a movie then you're very ignorant. They ALL do it, most of the time it fails...despite DC or Marvel.

List of games based on either comics or movies...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_based_on_Marvel_comics

P.S. talk to me once Marvel makes a half way decent game that is anywhere close to Batman AC, DC Online or even MK vs. DCU and soon Injustice...

@Vaeternus: MKvsDC better than MVC3 ?

Now I'm sur e you're joking or trolling! Bye!

lol translation, you have no counter argument as anticipated..you obviously never played the game, and like i said even mk9 sold more then mvc 3 did, and you think marvel games are better then dc games? hahahah now you must be trolling...

You never said anything about my argument of how MvC 2 has more X-men related characters and MvC3 has more Avengers related characters, wanna know why? Because DC games always have the same characters in it, since the stupid Justice League: Task Force. And That there are Titans characters in DC games is a Bad joke right? In wich game were they? Before this one that wasn't even released and you believe (because it still not confirmed) that they are going to be in the game? I've playerd MkvsDC and it sucked! And I love MK since the first one in the arcade!

Make a honest comparison, Arcade games (Marvel wins easily, I don't even remeber a DC character having a popular arcade game) and I'm not talking only about the ones capcom made, even before they started working together, X-men and Spider-man had lot's of great games.

When you tell me a game from DC that is not based on a movie and is not about Batman I will not laugh about what you have to say!

nice!!

Super awesome battle! Well done Wonder Woman though I still love you Harley Quinn!

The bad thing is there not playable, watch the fight between Harley Quinn and wonder woman. Also there costumes are from arkham city it wouldn't fit in to the story and characters.

@Vaeternus: Gotta disagree with you. First off, as you said, Mortal Kombat 9 doesn't count. Personally I thought the story from MK vs DCU was awful... Dark Khan. Marvel Ultimate Alliance has a ton of player variety with literally two dozen different playable characters (when you look at the different systems it was released one) from all of the major teams. It also had a story that covered not only pretty much Bendis' entire run with the Avengers but also included other levels tied closer to the Fantastic Four. I never played X-men Destiny, a game you ignored, but I looked up the story and it seemed pretty involved. Beyond that your assertion that "Plus, injustice will have a nice mix of justice leaguers, teen titans and jsa members as well as baddies from various rogue galleries not just heroes." is at this point almost complete speculation. Yes so far they have included several unexpected individuals from the larger DC Universe and yes several characters they have announced were technically on the teams that you listed but at this point the lineup has definitely been rather Bat-centric. I'm not saying that it won't change or even that it's necessarily a bad thing if it doesn't but I find your argument to be flawed. I'm not asserting that Marvel games are better than DC (it always comes down to the developers) but I do want to see Marvel get the recognition that they deserve.

The way i see it, marvel is doing better right now in the movie world overall then dc, and in the game and animated world, dc are doing better then marvel. Some people didnt like mkvsdcu story but some did, but overall the game was fun and solid.

btw, i didn't ignore xmen dimensions, i have it for the gamecube it was ok...gameplay sucked, very choppy, broken much like marvel nemesis rise of the imperfects. i'd rather play xmen dimensions over that game honestly...mvc3's story blew, it was more or less a worse version of mkdc but made less sense.

I also want to point out that, actually injustice will not just be good but offer variety indeed, i'm a competitive mk player and lets just say know friends of people who talk with nrs and dc working on this game, believe me they have a good rogues gallery as well as good mix of heroes within this game from dcu, some of which never even been in a fighter before much less dc game period. So, with respect i dont see how my logic is flawed especially when the team proved themselves with mk9's success which was not a comic game, but just think modified mk9 engine, better online, awesomeloolking storymode, cool graphics, variety of dc's fav characters, have the tools to appeal to both casuel as well as tournament fans. i will wager anything this game will be good.

@RedQueen: True true, but it's not really as good as being playable :)

It appears there is a profound chance that neither Croc, Penguin or Riddler are actually playable characters in the game and only appear as 'stage hazard', as seen here:

If you look closely in teh vid, Croc performs the same grab as he does on the Flash in CV's still-photoes. As simple background filler it would be time and money saving if they just ripped off the skins from other games.

Beat me to it :)

Yeah, they are just in stage hazards.... but still, they're there. Just not playable.

@chrisjrt: I gotta admit thats a cool cameo appearance to incorporate more characters!

Nope, its not fake, this is a screenshot of an arkham asylum level hazard, the latest video of a fight between wonder woman and harley quinn, and has harley quinn going through the exact same shot you see flash in. Two face is in this seen too in the white jacket you can just see behind flash, where he, killer croc, penguin and riddler all team up on the playable character. the link to the video is here at around the 1:01 mark- http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DtHpLes2kK0

Why penguin and riddler? Why not bane or scarecrow or someone like that who could actually defend themselves. Especially riddler. What is that about??

It's obviously fake, the character models for the Bat villains are definitely from the Arkham games. Also, as someone else pointed out, there's the clipping issue with Croc's hand and Flashes Head.

All I want is Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon, and Jason Todd

Obviously fake.

Cool croc is in it maybe. But come on all we want for a fighting game is red hood ohhhh yeeeaaa

They should have called this game "Injustice: Batman and Superman Among Us". Still excited for the story mode but this roster is rife with Bats and Supes characters.

Um, so far it's just been Superman, Lex Luthor, and Doomsday for the Superman related characters. Bats has more characters in it than Supes

"Injustice: Batman Among Us" it is.

@reaper2923:

DC would re-brand to BC if they could.

@Lt_Cmdr_Kicker

You read my mind! I would also love to see Red Hood and Larfleeze.

That would be too sweet if these three were playable...seriously. Just makes a great game even better!

Well, don't know about the trolling bit but he definitely enjoys messing and teasing with the fans. That pic isn't fake but very well could be hints of whats to come within the game. personally, i dont see riddler and penguin as fighters but killercroc for sure@UltraBiel said:

@Vaeternus: You're joking right ?

Witch DC game is sooo much better than a Marvel game? Just Arkham asylum/city at best. And Marvel has plenty of diversity, in Marvel vs capcom 2 the majority of the characters were X-men, in Marvel vs capcom 3 the majority came form the Avengers.

Not joking at all actually, mvc3 was very disappointing and was ok at best. mk9 even which is not a comicbook game sold more then it did and one key reason for that was because of the story developed for it. MVC3 however had little to none. MKvsDCU was better then mvc3 overall due to the storyline. Batman arkham asylum and batman ac were better, batman lego and dcu online are also great games and justice league heroes. Marvel's over the past 5 years are known for marvel ultimate alliance and mvc3. There wasn't much diversity in those games, dc games overall had both jl people, teen titans, badies and create your own characters in dcu.

Plus, injustice will have a nice mix of justice leaguers, teen titans and jsa members as well as baddies from various rogue galleries not just heroes.

My initial guess was that Penguin and Riddler would stand at the back as scenry moreorless, while Croc would be playable. But upon further examination, I think he's just psyching ya'll out.

I'm pretty sure this is Ed Boon trolling. Among the devs of the industry he's one of the few that don't mind messing with the consumers.

I'll be more excited when they announce Raven

I agree with you, especially since Raven is my favorite DC character, I really want her to be playable.

Besides, we already have too much Batman related characters, they should give other characters a chance to shine.

Speaking of, I can obviously tell it's Luthor and Raven back there, and Cyborg on the far right background, but can anyone tell who that is the black and gold? Part of me wants to say Diana's Batwoman costume. Part of me thinks maybe Katana (as a way of hyping her for Beware the Batman)? Maybe Black Bat?

That is Catwoman.

Seeing as how these are the Arkham City models, I highly doubt they're playable.

more Batman characters..........stupid

yah i dont think that screeshot is real. i was wondering why they all have the Arkham City skins yet Flash is the style from the game

Killer Croc? Sure! But Penguin and Riddler? I'd hope not.

More batman characters?! Oh for ****'s sake....

I think what people are missing is that if this is indeed fake why would Boon put it on Twitter?

He is a sneaky guy, and usually does things for a reason without them being obvious.

Could be flash phasing through Crocs hand, but more likely it's a fake. Sucks. But maybe it's a tease.

Meh. Waste of space.

Three villains? Really?.... Man. What about Bizarro, Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Brainiac?... Soo many villains to choose from and they choose THREE Batman villains.. Wtf....

After thinking about it more...i have a feeling all 3 will be playable

Awwww Croc doesn't get a costume he's just stuck in his arkham prison garbs e.e i hope they add the Croc from the batman series with the louisiana accent and leather vest XD

This is not fake, why would Ed Boon post a fake pic? lol

This looks cool, no doubt apart of the story.

Surprised nobody posted this pic..

Bane's alternate

P.S. for the dude who said DC games offer no variety, disagree..if anything Marvel games lack diversity compared to DC games. DC games are often not only better, but better story, more unique and cooler characters then the mainstreams like Marvel always use(example you will find characters in this game not normally seen in games as oppose to MVC3 which had typicals like Ironman, Hulk etc, etc)

That's Croc from the Arkham games, so it's clearly a fake.

Killer Croc is beating up Iron Man.

I thought the same at first

I think this is fake, Croc and the others are in their Arkham versions

Doubt any of the characters are actually playable. Riddler and Penguin certainly aren't the kind of characters one would play as in a fighting game. And Croc probably wouldn't bring anything to the table that Bane and Grundy don't already cover. If they're going to add another Batman villain they might as well go Freeze. That would at least give a more unique moveset.

When I was waiting for the page to load I was like... KI-LL-ER CROC! KI-LL-ER CROC!!!

My dream has come true...

This is fake, the character models are from Arkham city. They wouldn't reuse character models from a different company even if WB and DC own the characters they don't own the models. This is fake.

Clayface. We need Clayface.

@Lt_Cmdr_Kicker said:

@Mezmero

Word. DC games seem to lack diversity of characters. What about Metallo, Vandal Savage, Major Force, Captain Atom, or Cheetah? Now those would fit the "Gods among us" tag.

They should of added more heroes in Justice League: Heroes.
