Injustice: Gods Among Us Unveils General Zod Trailer, Man of Steel Skin


Injustice: Gods Among Us will be adding General Zod and a Man of Steel skin for Superman in July.

Injustice: Gods Among Us looks to be getting a bit more super in the near future. Superman, that is (nyuck nyuck). NetherRealm Studio's DC-centric fighting gaming will be adding a Man of Steel skin for its version of Superman. The skin, which will cost players 80 Microsoft points or roughly $2.99 on the PSN. As the Man of Steel moniker would suggest, the new skin will be based off Henry Cavill's super suit from the movie of the same name.

Players also got a look today at General Zod, who was recently confirmed to be Injustice's next DLC character. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released a video showing off the Gods Among Us version of the angry Kryptonian who spent his trailer speaking in ominous tones and wailing/being wailed on by his arch-nemesis Superman. The demo duel also showed off some of his move set which was made up of several of the standard Kryptonian powers but also included a nifty move that looked akin to the Phantom Zone projector. General Zod's DLC will cost players $4.99 when it releases, and yes, he does say "Kneel before Zod."

On the one hand the addition of more Superman-themed content doesn't really do much to help the game diversify its cast beyond DC's better know properties. That said, with Man of Steel still fairly fresh in theaters you can hardly blame NetherRealm and Warner Bros for wanting to capitalize on the film. Neither the Man of Steel skin or Zod DLC have an exact release date just yet, but they should both be available some time in July.

Pretty sure that is just Superman's New 52 skin, not a new one. I could be wrong though.

Press release doth say it hails from Man of Steel. :)
Well I've never been so happy to be incorrect.

The Man of Steel look doth hail from the New 52
They are remarkably similar, but that's not what I meant. I meant that it looked like the "New 52" skin that was already part of INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US as opposed to a new version modeled after the film. And again, I'm happy to be wrong. The movie looks like a lot of fun, though I haven't gotten out to see it yet.

I'm disappointed that Zod didn't get a man of steel costume also, and as much as I love the skins that have been revealed I think that they should stop making skins for Superman (and Batman too while I'm on the point) and make more skins for characters who haven't received as much attention.

Doesn't the trailer say 'ZOD AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD 02/07/2013' near the end?

Not indicting anybody or screaming out "wrong!!!". Regardless of origins, the new look strangely works for me. The looks of every comic hero changes on the whim of madmen. Also, yes go see the Supermans as it was tons of fun.

I like that walk of his right before he does that counter that breaks Superman's arm.
No floating, no guarding, no stance, just a plain old "Going to get something from the shops" walk.
He knows he's nigh unstoppable so why rush? :p

"KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"

Captcha: Describe "American Cancer Society" with any words: KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
Seriously, anything works for those kinds of captcha's :p

We get it DC. Man of Steel is out and you gotta market that sucker anyway you can. Now can we give Superman a break?

So does the new skin suck all the fun out of Supes, just like the in movie?
