Green Arrow, Joker, Green Lantern Join Injustice Cast

Hopefully you're a fan of superheroes with an affinity for the color green.

The cast of superheroes and villains filling out Injustice: Gods Among Us continues to expand, with Netherrealm Studios and Warner Bros. confirming Green Arrow, Joker, and Green Lantern are in.

These characters join Batman, Catwoman, Cyborg, Flash, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Solomon Grundy, Superman, and Wonder Woman. There are plenty more announcements for the future, too. I'm waiting for Matter-Eater Lad.

Arrow is suppose to premiere tonight...

Unfortunatly for that series, Justin Hartley rather made that Charicter his own. (least in my humble opinion). Wasnt a massive fan of Smallville, but the Arrow specific episodes really captured that charicter well.

I feel like it's some kind of massive waste of time to add characters that aren't Batman to a roster that already includes Batman, but hey, y'know what, whatever. Green Arrow. Yep. Cool. He's not Batman but maybe he can... he can be in the same room as Batman. That'll do.

Honestly. At this point they're just adding characters that will end up fighting Batman when I end up playing this game. Playing as Batman.

If the single player campaign of this game is as good as the most recent Mortal Kombat, then I will definitely pick this up.

I always wonder the logic behind the "where's X/why no X/X isn't in this game" type questions when far from the full roster has been revealed. "I want/would like" makes more sense, but unless a character has been specifically confirmed to not make it, the former series of queries defies logic.

@kagato: Y'beat me to it, mate. Grundy's no more a Batman villain than Luthor is. He started out as an Alan Scott villain indeed, and grew to just be a general menace to the DC Universe in general. Right now in comics, he's in Earth 2 fighting off pretty much everything, but he and Scott are two sides of the same coin. In the Batman Beyond comics, he's actively opposing Superman.

@patrickklepek: Do you happen to know if they've got Mark Hamill back doing Joker? He's said before that he's done doing the VA for him, but hopefully that's not the case. There doesn't seem to be any Joker footage out there yet, guess we can just wait and see.

well batman is the Dc series with the most mainstream appeal due to the arkham games and the nolan movies and the amazing old cartoon.

and Solomon Grundy. They might as well just call this game "Injustice: Batman and Friends"

Solomon Grundy is actually a Green Lantern bad guy, or at least an Alan Scott Green Lantern enemy, he does show up in Batman a fair bit but there are a lot of crossovers like that in the DCU

For the record, that Cyborg link is the incorrect Cyborg. It goes to the one from Marathon.

Leaving it the way it is is funnier, though.

I noticed that and found it equally as hilarious.

"Time for the grand finale!"

*fireworks*

... oh. that's nice. Fireworks are nice, Green Arrow. No really, they're nice. That was good 'grand finale' there. You really tried hard and I acknowledge that. What? No, I'm not being sarcastic at all! I enjoyed the fireworks, really! They were really... uh, yeah okay that was stupid.

So is that Green Arrow TV show on yet? I thought I saw an ad for it, but I only caught a glimpse. If so, I understand why they would play up GA in this trailer. Synergy!

i believe there's a lot of Batman related characters because the story involves Superman's team going against Batman's team, so maybe Batman recruited help from his villains or maybe Superman enlisted Batman's villain

I'm so glad they went with original Ollie and not the stupid New 52 one.

I was really pleasantly surprised to see this too. Young, clean shaven Ollie sucks large.

I really hope they add Animal Man to the roster-- he has the potential to have a cool move set.

Game looks good except for the crappy environment traps and the ideal mimic of the mk engine. I mean, i know its supposed to just be the mk engine, but it looks like mk9 with new dlc characters.

I'm still not in on this. I figured a game from Netherrealm that wasn't stuck in the, in my opinion, really ugly design of Mortal Kombat would be a good way to get in on the fun of their fighting system. But this looks just like the same thing! I much preferred the way Marvel VS Capcom 3 would emulate a comicy look with all the black shadows and saturated colors. I don't know what artist they are emulating, but I wish they'd gone for one of DCs animated shows or something.

They fighting looks all right! Don't know about the environmental stuff, weird to see that sort of thing outside of Smash Bros. Could be fun.

You should see Catwoman, her animations are 80% Freddy Krueger.

Yeah, but at least those are characters from the same company. Eh, I never get tired of a bow guy twirling his bow around like a saw.

This is true, reminded me of Dante as well.
