Who the fuck is that portraying the Joker? It certainly isn't Mark Hamill.

It could be a good game, have to wait for the reviews to qualify that. As for my feelings on the designs, my personal opinions I'm iffy on Flash's suit ~ maybe Ming got to the designs, and when I saw Supes, I immediately thought of synthetic (cigarette tar) kyrptonite Superman from the 3rd movie after a few drinks and five o clock shadow (somebody get him to a junk yard stat). Again, just my personal 1st impressions, I'm receptive to a fair time of reviews.

I'm interested in the fighting game itself, but I'm put off by the designs. The overly-armored version of everybody looks kind of stupid - Batman is in some kind of power armor, so is Superman... MK vs DC looked much nicer, nice and simple.

Also weirded out by the lack of any DC identifying markers. Will Joe Walmart know what the hell an Injustice is without a specific sticker that says, "Now with Superheroes!"

The heroes in the actual comics wear armor instead of tights now. They aren't wearing power armor, just hardened plates and kelvar. It's just to make them look slightly more realistic as combatants.

Am I the only one who hates green-suit Luthor whenever they see him? Lex Luthor isn't an interesting character because he can go hand-to-hand with the Man of Steel. And shoving him in a poorly-designed green "robot suit" only cheapens him as a character.

From an aesthetic point of view, at least make it more slim-fitting and modern looking. More like Iron Man and less like a COR BLIMY SPESS MEREEN.

Awesome stuff! Joker's voice didn't sound great, but that's just because Mark Hamill was so awesome.

Sure is weird that I got a spanish ad for Disneyland before this video. It had Buzz Lightyear in it so I wonder if maybe it was a joke about his spanish mode? Or maybe it's because I live in Tucson... Idk. Lex Luthor guys.

Oh god, the voice acting sounds terrible, especially for the guy who plays the voice of Joker. I wish Mark Hamill would come back to play him again.

Other than that, the combat looks pretty cool.

Couldn't agree more, Netherrealms design sensibilities are really odd at times. I think their artists are just really stuck in certain ways of thinking that don't result in cool looking character models quite often.

I dont know why but Lex in a suit really bothers me. I guess because Lex isnt supposed to be a hands on guy. Hes always been the hire out type, then after we cant even prove he did anything in the first place. Tony Stark in a Ironman suit Im all fuck yea that works, cool! Lex Im just like why is this hack villain fighting. Ugh he needs a crutch of a mechanized suit, lame. Weird double standard which bugs me I even have it.

Ever watch Spectacular Spider-Man? Steve Blum as Green Goblin is pretty much the Joker. It works, it's just weird.

Also... this show was fucking awesome.

Fuck Yeah man, it's a shame it got cancelled for Ultimate Spiderman :(

I think this game looks like shit but its nice to hear some of the DCAU voices again. Certainly would have made MKvsDC slightly less terrible.

Did they get some of the DCAU voice talent for this? Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman sound right but the rest are off.

@brokenpilot @FuriousJodo Mark Hammill will always no doubt hold that position as the best or most iconic version of the character, but he isn't always going to be able to play the part nor should he. Same goes for Kevin Conroy too. Let's say (god forbid) Hammill died tomorrow, does that mean that for the rest of time nobody should ever voice the Joker?

If the Joker sounds horrible in this game, then he sounds horrible in this game. It doesn't matter in the end. Not everything can be good or exactly what people want. Alot of people often miss out on great experiences because they spend so much time being negative about shit that ultimately doesn't matter.

Note this isn't really/specifically directed at you, but more the idea of people getting worked up about things not being the way they're used to, which obviously happens alot on the internet. Basically I'm saying "Hey take a break internet and check out one of the million or so great things out there you're missing." - Ferris Bueller (2013)

I'm finally playing through MK9 (I got to the party late and did not play MK vs. DC Universe until it was fifteen bucks), and I am even more excited for Injustice. It looks like flat out fun, especially those level-three super-moves.

I'm not a huge DC guy, but my fingers are crossed for a Lobo unveiling in the future.
