Injustice 2: Wants & Don’t Wants

After the blink-and-you’ll-miss it confirmation that Injustice is getting a sequel (made at Wondercon during a panel about Batman: Arkham Knight), the internet has been abuzz with Injustice fans speculating on who will be in the new title. Rumored to be Injustice: Gods Will Fall or Injustice: The New Gods, everyone has very strong feelings about what the roster should be.

Here is our thoughts on who we want and don’t want in the new line up:


Want: Power Girl

Injustice-Powergirl

When the studio held a vote for DLC characters, Power Girl was by far the fan favorite. I’m not upset that from that particular poll they picked Batgirl (who is still one of my favorite playable characters), but the people want a badass lady kryptonian!


Don’t Want: Scorpion (or any other Mortal Kombat characters)

Injustice-Scorpion

Mortal Kombat vs. DC was a sad failure. We all wanted it to succeed and it really just fell flat. The solution is not tagging in a MK character into a DC game that has shown no reason for them to be included, especially when they are still missing some important characters from their own canon. No MK in Injustice 2.


Want: Circe

Injustice-Circe

This fierce Wonder Woman villain is a no brainer to me. She has a skill set that would translate well to a fighting game and her story could easily contribute to what ever narrative they are basing the new game around.


Don’t Want: Killer Frost

Injustice-KillerFrost

They were trying to include more female characters, which I commend. However, tacking on dumb characters that nobody likes to play as is not the solution. Every person I have played Injustice with, whether they are comic fans or not, did not like the character. With a sea of amazing female characters to choose from, they can certainly do better than Killer Frost.


Want: Static Shock

Injustice-StaticShock

I was genuinely shocked (heh) when Static wasn’t in the first Injustice. He seems so obvious of a choice. I would love to see an interpretation of Static that falls in line with the animated show version, but later on in his life (in his late 20s, I’d say). The list of moves he could have is endless. Static is a must have.


Want/Don’t Want: Raven

Injustice-Rave

Ok, let me explain. We want Raven. But let’s be honest, we all want Teen Titans animated show Raven. This mostly stems from not liking the particular voice actress who spoke for her in the first game. Raven is a tough characters, but there is a thing as too harsh a voice.


Want: Beast Boy

Injustice-BeastBoy

Speaking of the titans, let’s get some Beast Boy! Think of all the different play styles you could have as different animals! He could have a set group of animals that you could change into, each with their own move set. Bring on Beast Boy!


Want: More Stages

Injustice-Screenshot

The new Injustice will presumably be exclusive to the next gen consoles, so we want to see that utilized, specifically with a wider selection of stages. There was a decent batch for the first game, but we are going to need more for the sequel. Smallville, Star City, Central City, OA, Wayne Enterprises, Krypton, the possibilities are endless.


Want: Unlockable
Don’t Want: DLC

Injustice-Watchmen

I miss the good ol’ days when you would get new characters via achievements, not buying them. I think we need more of that mentality again. Have playable characters that you earn by gameplay. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts about Lego games- You earn characters, not buy them. Sure, there will always be DLC that costs, but there should be some unlockables too.

Save DLC for extra or bonus groups, like Watchmen.


The list could go on and on and on. Here are a few others I hope to see in the new line up:

Darkseid
Red Hood
Dr. Fate
Black Manta
Superboy
Aqualad (Kaldur)
Arsenal
Blue Beetle
Black Canary
Starfire
Brainiac
Poison Ivy
Huntress
Booster Gold
Plastic Man
