Bane and Lex Luthor Playable in 'Injustice: Gods Among Us?'

I love how Netherealm Studios is making games, too bad they're doing DC games instead of Marvel's (because NRS belongs to Warner Bross, which also owns DC if I'm not mistaken).

Yep, and coincidentally Disney owns both Marvel comics who is the rival of WB lol.

Personally, I'd love to see WB and Disney work together along with NRS and Capcom and make two games.

One DCU vs. Marvel and MK vs. SF. The fans would crap themselves if that was made lol. Instead we ironically so far got the opposite. MK vs. DCU and SF vs. Marvel

@Decoy Elite: oh my god yes! I could see that as his special move.

Bruce would be an epic Lex lol. Although I still like him way better as a good guy then bad guy.

BTW, Plasticman would be a GREAT range character!

P.S. guys who don't know Doomsday will most likely be in the game, Boon tweeted recently like a week ago or so saying "There's a good chance DD will be in the game" so yeah lol lol get pumped!

Well They haven't really given a specific number of characters all we know it is 24 or more. There are two Bat-Family characters I hope to see from what I've heard the story has something to do with Batman Vs The Justice League, so who would he turn to to help Nightwing, & possibly Catwoman at the moment depending which side Catwoman is on, since she is considered undecided as Hero/ Villain( It depends on what the situation is, in Mk vs. DC she's a villain, but in Arkham City sort of a hero so it should be interesting to see) in we'll have to wait and see, but there are atleast two more he'd turn to Tim Drake and Batgirl, so I am hoping for them, even if they end up as DLC. After those two get confirmed I'm done with Bat family characters for this game, plus I feel Batgirl hasn't been getting too much attention in the Video game world lately.

Nice, Doomsday Boon said had a good chance!! Now Bane!! OMG, now I'm really pumped! All I want to hear now is MMH and Jason Todd and I'm good! I'm sure either Mr. Freeze or Captain Cold will be in there. There has to be a Sub-Zero like character.

freaking out over getting to play lex right now except i wish they used the slimmer warsuit instead of one that closely resembles the warsuit from dcuo :l

Injustice: gods among us or Batman: Batmen among us. I mean you got batman, nightwing, harley, joker, bane, robin and red hood rumored. ALSO WHEN IS THE FREAKING DEMO ???

Black Canary.... All I have to say.

Black Adam and Shazam need to be on this game. :)

real bane

hell yea

Well, i guess Lex Luthor will die hard.

okay but no more batman characters we have enough

Jason Todd, Bizarro, Despero, Martian Manhunter, some combination of Lanterns.

He-Man and Vendetta for DLC.

oh my god just announce the full roster already! i'm dying over here... Awesome additions! :)

meh, we already knew Lex Luthor was going to beein it and im not ll that hyped about Bane...

@Bluefox170: thanks!

Damn this Bane looks Awesome

Red Hood and Black Adam would be AWESOME!

why they put harley quinn? or The joker? they aren t great fighters

@Lokheit: Because Marvel and Disney dont have enough of a monopoly on things right? I think DC can have something of their own like Marvel has its movies.

1/3 of the roster are batman characters. lame.

People, they're probably going to have a alternative costume for Bane.

Not a fan of Bane. The tubes are way too big.

I wish they will add Martian Manhunter, Darkseid, Aquaman, Booster Gold, Firestorm, Black Lightning, Shazam, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, Powergirl, Captain Cold, Red Hood, Doomsday, Brainiac, Etrigan, Blue Beetle, Hawkman too.

Just my opinion.

@Red Rum: interesting, you might be right.

@SoA said:

four latest fighters and yet show only three...?

Catwoman, next page.

Great view/description of Deathstroke.

Wow, that Bane looks too much like Batman and Robin Bane for my taste...

Okay, guys. Make a Batman game and be done with it. There is already seven characters Batman characters (including Solomon Grundy if you consider part of Batman's mythology) in 25-character roster.

Is Martian Manhunter in this

@Big_Nasty said:

Lex Luthor looks like Bruce Willis.

This.

Again, I'm sick of Batman's collective of allies and foes getting the spotlight, when clearly this game can be an opportunity for others to get recognized by the less-familiar-with-DC (not counting Deathstroke, though he is much like Batsy and is a major nemesis of his partner Nightwing).

If Luthor really is here, like the initial trailer hinted at, then the crystals that Flash avoided in that same trailer means that Captain Cold is playable.

I mean, that should be enough bat characters.

we got batman, harley, joker, nightwing, catwoman and bane. Lets keep it at that.

Now we just need captain cold, aquaman, mera, ares, doomsday, brainiac, supergirl, sinestro/atrocitus, metallo and shazam.

yeah no real surprise here, with TDKR Bane was a lock for the game. And Luthor is still Superman's main enemy. Also we know Aquaman's in this game too. And I'd bet money Hawkman makes it.

Would have subbed Harley Quinn out for another villain or villainess.

Still holding out hope for:

-Cheetah

-Black Manta

-An electricity character (either Static, Livewire or Black Lightning)

- Doctor Light

-Vixen

-Doomsday

More Batman characters please!

The hell is up with those tubes on Bane. They couldn't just keep it at one tube? Smh.

excites. LEX LUTHOR ROCKS. SO DOES BANE!

Love that Bane's in this...not thrilled about the character design though.

Bane is a personal fave, and brings a different style of fighter; still, the emphasis on the venom tubes and the awkward build don't set my heart on fire.

Martian Manhunter and Shazam Family are more interesting to me. I love my super battles.

O_O

Sweet

Also, I think Lex looks a bit like Bruce Willis in the scan, which is awesome.

I thought the exact same thing! Then I got to thinking....

Snyder's Lex? I did a little research and found out Willis had been rumored to be on the short list for Luthor in 2004 for Superman Returns. I could totally get on board with this.

Ooooooh, me too...

Ugh, do we need so many Batman characters? I know he's one of the most popular brands, but I was hoping a DC fighting game would have more DC stuff and not Justice League and the Batman villains.

This will be a great game to rent and have a few hours of laughs checking o ut everyones specials and environments...However if they REALLY wanted to make this a special game, they would have included characters like Red Hood, Power Girl, or Black Adam.THEN I would be impressed and think about a purchase

Awesome, I love battle armor Luthor, and Bane.

Now Wheres Martian Manhunter and Aquaman.

awesome, i cant wait.

Oh geez, didn't see that one coming

Even as a batman fan, this is getting tiring

@CampodelViolin said:

Black Adam and Zoom please!!

What he said, as well as adding Shazam, Hawkman, and Aquaman!

@roboadmiral said:

Until Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkman get announced, I refuse to be impressed by any character reveals. Unless they reveal Wildcat. That would be awesome.

Hawkman wont be in it. ED Boon doesn't like him and stated he wont be in it. Funnily enough, he said Hawkgirl would be good for the game.
