game looks cool. but then again it is just a road bump before the next MK so I hope they are done with it sooner rather than later to get down to real business

If you're gonna have the joker, it's either mark hammill for the voice or nothing.

So pumped about this game! Really glad they got so many of the JL series voice actors back. And apparently Richard Epcar is gonna be the Joker, which will hopefully end up like John DiMaggio, which seemed super crazy but was actually really great.

Always pumped to hear Kevin Conroy's Batman. Joker sounds a bit iffy, but if we're being honest, anyone doing it besides Mark Hamill always sounds iffy at first.

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.

Is it just me or does Lex Luthor kind of have a little Johnny Vignocchi look to him? Thoughts?

@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)

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

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.

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.

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.
