Injustice 2 Announcement Trailer, My Thoughts

The Netherrealm Studios-made game Injustice Among Us has a sequel! Yup, the DC Comics fighting game has a trailer...and I am RIDICULOUSLY late when it comes to giving my thoughts on it. First of all, I never played the first Injustice game. I had heard a lot of good things about it, but I just never bothered to grab it. I don't know why, it looked pretty neat.

So with that out of the way, here's the trailer!

The trailer begins with that looks like Superman brawling with the Flash, and basically thrashing him. He is Superman, after all. A voice starts talking about how battle can change a man. While this is happening, what looks like pieces of armor start unfolding and covering Flash's body. It reminds me of Flash's New 52 look.

That armor must give Flash some kind of boost, as the Scarlet Speedster easily ducks Superman's punch by pretending it's a limbo pole (How low can you gooooooo?), and just royally wrecks The Man of Steel.

Flash thinks he's won...whatever is going on here, when Batman shows up. Batman beats down Flash, typical DC, always making Batman overpowered. The Dark Knight attaches a bomb to Flash's chest, and then it explodes. Bats then gets a golden projectile to the gut. He'll survive this, because he's overpowered. And DC loves making him overpowered.

The golden projectile is revealed to be a trident, wielded by the King of the Seas himself, Aquaman. Batman fights back with a Batarang, and then lifts him up, armor pieces forming over him. I have to admit that the armor-forming is pretty cool. Bats's armor also has green TRON lines on it. I think we can safely assume Bruce Wayne is a TRON fan. He gets tackled by Superman.

Supes is about to introduce him to his heat vision when HE gets blasted, and Bats's savior is...Supergirl, who has some armor pieces of her own. Aquaman retrieves his trident, with some armor pieces forming over him, too.

Armor pieces form over Superman (What does HE need armor for?), and Batman's armor finishes forming, and it makes him look like Batman Beyond a bit. Nice nod. The heroes then all charge at each other, ready to get into an all-out brawl.

The teaser also reveals that pre-orders come with Darkseid. Hope he's DLC for this game, too.

I have to admit, the teaser is pretty neat. It really gives the characters a sense of power, and It's really cool seeing them armor up. Maybe I should get the first Injustice game...
