This week, at the Tokyo Game Show, NetherRealm Studios released their newest trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. I’ve been happily following the teasers for this game for a while, but this is the most important trailer to drop by far. It’s important specifically for two reasons: it proves that Kevin Conroy will be the voice of Batman and it shows a couple of Amazons assisting Wonder Woman in beating the living hell out of Cyborg like the ref just turned his back.
And they are beating him with sticks.

Trailergasm- Injustice: Gods Among Us Catwoman Reveal
I am very happy with this Catwoman. Beyond the fact that the mechanics, at least of this character, look far smoother then (the terrible) Mortal Combat vs DC, this Catwoman looks like a fully clothed, proportional human being who actually uses abilities and weapons featured in the comics. Other then the part where she seems to quickly transform into an actual cat to take down Batman, but we have to allow our fighting games a little wiggle room in the “awesome powers” division. What this does show, however, is that people are listening. It’s evident at this point that girls play games and someone (at least in the character design department) knows that flapping, gravity defying, anime-boobs get in the way of a good beat down.

A new trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us was released at Comic-Con today, featuring some pretty heavy violence and thrilling action between DC heroes and villains. Thankfully, this trailer lets the fastpaced gameplay shine. The first preview from E3 last month was composed of many cinematics and a few teasing hints of gameplay. But in the newest footage, we are treated to special character moves and brawls in recognizable DC Universe settings (Metropolis! The Batcave!) Nightwing and Cyborg also make their debut as playable characters alongside Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, Harley Quinn, and Solomon Grundy.
This fighting game is the second from the DC Universe to be developed by NetherRealm Studios, the previous being Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon stated in a Gamespot interview that the stages in the game feature destructible environments and interactive objects the player can use to inflict damage on an opponent (witness Superman’s brutal headbashing at the hands of The Flash around 0:45 seconds in.) Characters’ fighting styles are either fueled by power or gadgets. Power characters like Superman use heavy objects from the environment to attack. Gadget characters like Batman are more agile than power characters and use these objects to dodge attacks.
I was raised on Mortal Kombat in terms of fighting games, and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was pretty awesome. I can’t wait to see a fighting game composed entirely of DC characters when Injustice is released next year.
