'Injustice: Gods Among Us' Box Art Revealed

Want to know which characters made the cover? Come find out!

Yesterday it was announced DC's archer (and now TV star) Green Arrow will be playable in the upcoming fighting game and today NetherRealm Studios is releasing even more info.  The official box art has been revealed and it's sporting a not-so flattering image of Ollie.   
 
Aside from Green Arrow taking a nap, you'll also notice a somewhat recognizable face smack-dab in the center of the picture as well as the far right.  While the Clown Prince of Crime and Green Lantern haven't officially been announced as playable characters, it seems more than safe to assume they'll be a part of the roster.
 

      Darn, I had my money on Green Arrow winning that fight...

You can pick up a copy of 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'  April 2013.  Expect for us to have more news surrounding the game while we're at New York Comic-Con this week!

I'm really looking forward to this. Never been a fan of fighting games like MK, but this looks pretty appealing

I was hoping that Joker would have his whole creepy skinned face thing going on and that Green Lantern would be Kyle Rayner.

Joker doesn't look dumb, he looks the same in nearly every rendition lol with that dumb, silly, generic grin. But I'm pumped for this game, GA looks like a zoner, so maining him.

Superman has heat vision, which is obviously faster than Batman's arm and legs. Bats is dead :P

@SnakeEyes327: why wouldn't they just confirm them for the game if this pic has been floating around? Makes no sense. I wonder if all the DC vs MK characters will be used.

@CodyRADkinson I'm with you on Aquaman! And if his special move has him summoning Cthulhu with his telepathy it would be the greatest thing ever.

Well it's no surprise Joker and Green Lantern would show up (especially the latter since his logo was seen on the collectors edition). Right now I'm wondering who will voice the Joker since Mark Hamill isn't playing him anymore.

Dr. Doom? Hopefully Batman is the bad guy.

Sadly, for what I've seen and heard, it looks like Superman will be the bad guy (for example, in the Future City stage, one of the screens had an evil looking Superman in it).

I hope this turns out better for Supes.

It's because Arrow's TV Show was so awesome, Batman was jealous and punched him in the face.

The Joker was a no-brainer (still cool, though)...

But Hal Jordan?

Cover's OK, I guess. Joker looks dumb, but the rest is fine.

@k4tzm4n: That's cool. I didn't touch the single player mode, so perhaps I missed out. I'll be curious to hear more details about this title beyond the character roster.

If all goes well I'll get to ask questions about the game at NYCC and the story is definitely something I'm going to bring up.

@Crash_Recovery: I'm not the biggest fan of the genre, but Mortal Kombat's story mode was superb.  It wasn't just "pick a character, fight a ladder, fight a boss."  It was a massive story that would throw you into the shoes of different characters along the way.  Sure, some of the explanations for fights were silly, but overall it was an impressive effort for a fighting game.  I'm sure NetherRealm has (at least) a decent story here to explain why everyone is at odds.  I suppose we'll have to wait and see, sir.

@k4tzm4n: I gave it a whirl with a friend. I just don't "get" the overall look and feel of the game. I never understand when non-fighting game characters are used in a fighting game and they still try to impose some semblance of an explanation to why they're fighting. Why do fighting games have stories at all?

Well, did you manage to play 'Mortal Kombat' (the latest one)?  Because it's drawing a lot of similarities to that.

@evilvegeta74: Black Adam, Firestorm and Aquaman may well be in it. They haven't announced every body. I expect at least some of those three are in there. Don't give up hope yet.

They need real diverse Dc villains with power such as Black Adam not powerless clowns,and women dressed as clowns to pacify the the Bat fanboy base. This games deserve's the best DC has to offer, brawl wise. Superman vs the clown male or female, or catwoman is not a good match up on paper, and something I will not be looking forward to. Time to add Shazam, Firestorm, Aquaman and others to solidify the game.
