After much speculation, Ed Boon, the Creative Director at NetherRealm Studio, has announced Lobo will be the first of a few DLC characters. No release date was given for the the Main Man, but Boon describe him as a quick brawler with chains for ranged attacks. Check out the character model below and the video where they briefly chat about him.

So, what'cha think about the model and character selection, Viners?

In other news (spoilers for the Battle Arena Ahead!)... Batman won the Battle Arena tournament. "What? I'm shocked!," said no one ever. There's still a few more DLC characters up for grabs, so who are you rooting for? Don't forget to check out our review of Injustice: Gods Among Us!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!

Badass!!!

Glad they didn't say Martian Manhunter as the first revealed character.

Looks great :) I'm a little confused tho, shouldn't the season pass and the 4 DLC characters be out already with the game?

was hoping for Martian Manhunter but i can live with Lobo as long as MM make it in as playable later.

not a fan?

I wish they had Dr Fate and Martian Manhunter. Lobo's still badass though.

Of all the useless, rubbish characters they could have picked, they pick Spawn eyes.

Frag yeah!

Awesome choice.

Gah, I miss Lobo. This helps a little though.

I'd hold onto hope. I think there's a strong possibility for MM. At the very least, Fate's an easter egg in one of the stages :)

No, think of the season pass as a pre-order where you save a few bucks.

@k4tzm4n: Yeah his costume appears in the backgrpund of the hall of Justice stage.

@avenging_x_bolt: @tommythehitman: He's in game in as a spectator in the Watchtower IIRC but i'm not sure if he playable

Man,I was hoping for Red Hood

So the leak from a couple days ago was legit. Cool.

Well, there's still 3 more DLC characters to announce.

@k4tzm4n: They've said there will be more.

Of course. But right now they've only revealed plans for 4.

he's in a cameo which does not count, im talking about PLAYABLE DLC.

he'll be in probably be in. he was right under MM in terms of votes. they just dont want to overload on bat-characters right now.

let the nickle and diming begin.

@avenging_x_bolt: He is like the most asked for character. I'm pretty sure they'll put him in since it's what people will pay for.

yeah, i know. theyre doing what they did with Rain in MK

THE MAIN MAN !

@avenging_x_bolt: It does make sense financially and I must admit it's pretty cool that they actually do that. Which means I just have to create a million accounts and ask for Space Cabbie.

Im still hoping for Swamp Thing and Animal Man

I think that is a great choice for the first DLC character!

Lobo is kind of an unimpressive choice for the first DLC character release. I'd more like to see new Supers. Watching the same one over and over again can get boring.

There is four DLC but I think they will announced two more in the future. Maybe even have another DLC story.

Heck yes! But its too oblivious you know?

i understand how ya feel, i wouldnt have minded it being obvious.

*sings loudly*

TARA TARA ONE DAY YOU'LL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh. Wish it was someone else. Cant wait to see the other 3. Most likely going to be 2 villains, and 2 heroes.

not much of a gamer. whats a dlc? im guessing downloadable

Has Supergirl been announced as one? She's got her own portrait picture for customizing your profile, whereas all the other profile pictures are characters already in the game.

I know it's somewhat foolish but I'm still hoping for Black Manta. And Martian Manhunter, of course!

Makes up for his fighting game never being finished. The game is a perfect fit for him.

Feeling pretty good about waiting for the inevitable 30 dollar "THIS HAS EVERYTHING IN IT" edition

@jldoom: I want Black Manta too... Aquaman doesn't have a villain in the game really.

I hope Vixen or Black Canary makes it in. Or maybe Black Lighting

no. Ed said she wouldnt be getting in.

FRAGGING RIGHT IT IS!!!!!!

It's been out a goddamn day, it's not even out here in the UK!

@dtschemmel: I know, right? Flash doesn't have a villain either...

@lordrequiem: You know Lobo is older than Spawn right?

@larrydavis: Agree, that's what I'm waiting for. Tired of being pissed I bought something when it first came out, only to debate buying the game again or realizing I shelled out a lot of extra cash for DLC. Looking forward to this game in 6 months

i wish zod n starfire n atrocodis was in there

-screeches and squeals like a total fangirl- Another reason to buy this game!!!
