New Screenshots for 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'

Warner Bros. Interactive releases more screenshots for the upcoming DC Comics fighting video game.

Yesterday we saw the announcement of Injustice: Gods Among Us from NetherRealm Studios. GameSpot had loads of detail on the game and today, we've received some high-res screenshots from Warner Bros. Interactive (and the trailer GameSpot exclusively premiered).

It's a fighting game featuring DC Comics characters such as Batman, Harley Quinn, Superman, Flash, Solomon Grundy, Wonder Woman and several others, yet to be revealed.

Do these images change your first reaction?

does this game only have 6 fighters, why are these the only ones that chose to show?

I guess they decided to show off these six initially because they're popular with fans...well, I like Solomon but him being popular is news to me. We are getting more.

They should have at least 30 fighters not including DLC

Who wants to bet there will be a Batman arkham city costume per-order bonus

Apart from Batman kicking Solomon Grundy through multiple walls and what seemed a very large distance, this looks quite interesting.

@Delphic: Nope. I agree. In my opinion this game has a lot of issue. First, the costume aren't amazing or cool (Especially Flash's costume). Second, the title kind of throws me off. Just the fact that it says "Gods Among Us."

Newsflash developers... From my understanding Batman isn't a god nor Flash. Maybe I'm reading the title wrong, but still that phrase will continue to bother me until someone gives a decent explanation.

I'm all on board!:) Mortal Kombat 9 was great and NeatherRealm has made a believer out of me. The costumes are easily fixed via DLC.

Mortal Kombat was great, and I'm sure this will be too, but does anyone else not like the Flash being in that armor? I don't know. It looks a little weird to me. Like I said, I think this game looks really cool though.

Why's Supe's and Bat's fighting Flash..? Seems a little unfair. Other wise I'm looking forward to this.

Ok so I have a couple things to say about this:

So first off, I really like the costumes. Flash's armored look is really nice and makes more sense than just spandex. I am curious as to how you would incorporate his powers into the game play. Will we have a kind of time slow down, like the web rush for the Amazing Spider-man Game? or are we just throwing rapid punches and dodging really well. Batman is still Batman, I didn't expect much else from him. Superman is ok, nothing really different. I do enjoy that Wonder Woman can change weaponry. The villains are meh. I don't think Harley fits well into this. If this is a no holds match, where superman can send you into orbit (which he can), I really don't think a crazy woman with no powers has any place in this line up. Grundy is ok, but I don't think he's all that threatening. He's just a zombie.

 Besides the characters we've been shown we're also getting about 21 other characters. Despite what I think of Harley, I do think the well trained Robins are fine and are likely a popular choice. I'm fairly sure Nightwing or a Robin are guaranteed to be in it. I, being a Redhood fan, would love to see Jason pop up, especially in this kind of universe where killing and darkness are accepted, even if he's just a reskin of Nightwing. Either way I'm sure that Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Deathstroke, SHAZAM, Aquaman and even Green Arrow are extremely plausible.

 My only concern with this game is that from what we see here, it looks like Mortal Kombat Vs DC without Mortal Kombat. From the description of the game and the mechanics they put in I hope it's more like a sandbox game, where we can freely roam the city or whatever areas we're given, while in combat with our opponent. Something like (Insert First Person Shooter Name Here)'s multiplayer, but with our favorite heroes. I really hope it isn't just hopping from stage to stage, always looking on at the characters profiles like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Marvel Vs Capcom, and basically any other fighter. I also really hope there's a coherent plot to this game and not just putting you as a character you select and then throwing you up against Batman who's turned evil for no reason, then Grundy who's there for no reason, then Harley who is harder than Batman for no reason. There are a lot of ways this could go. I trust the game creators to give us a wonderful experience. That's all I had to say.

Heroes: Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern (Different Skins for Each of the Earth Ones), Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, SHAZAM are the main ones. Although more obscure choices would be nice I could go for Azrael. Obviously Nightwing and Red Hood. Blue Beetle and Static.

Villain Wise: Bane, Black Manta and Deathstroke are musts.

im so psyched for this game! ive been desperately hoping for a new DC fighting game. Grundy looks awesome. love how he can pull weapons out of his zombie body and use them on his opponents.

you can bet Cyborg will be included as DC has been pushing him to "A list" status in the New 52. im sure the people at DC (Johns) have some say as to who is on the roster. i think Blue Beetle's powers would make him super fun to play as. let the scarab cut loose. hope he's included.

hearing that there will be alternate costumes makes this even better.

its going to be hard for them not to overload the roster with the Batfamily, but pitting Red Hood vs Nightwing or Batman would be pretty damn great.

I would like Hal, Sinestro, and Atrocitus. That'll pay for itself. Though, I wish Capcom were doing DC fighting games. 3d rendered fighters are just ugly. The Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Ultimate style is the best IMO.

Looks good, wonder if the scenes are actual fight scenes or just trailer type. If they are actual it would be fun to throw people thru buildings and into space. Even if its just the "Fatality" or finishing moves that would be awesome.

The game will have an in depth story mode, alt. costumes on the disk but free roaming is a bit too hopeful. Also I'm glad to see so many people supporting Cyborg.

lol... didn't think of it that way, wonder why no one has any beef with that.... by the way keeping in mind the title, do u think they will have fatalities for the heroes this time around? i mean most of the heroic brutalities were lame..besides theres nothin "heroic" about brutalities ;)

if Superman has a 'finisher' i wonder how they'll top punching your opponent into orbit? going back in time by reversing the rotation of the earth and kill the opponent's parents?!?

i personally wouldnt mind if there are no finishing moves.
