Injustice's Aquaman Wipes the Floor With Surface Dwellers

Sadly the Injustice Aquaman lacks the same visual appeal...

That is pretty much my only beef with Aquaman. I find him visually so unappealing, so bland and uninteresting that, if I didn't know better, I would just assume that he is equally bland and uninteresting in terms of his powers. But than Justice League cartoon and Linkara I know better than that and have a fair amount of respect about that character.

On Topic: Well, another game on the list of titles I have to buy when I get my Wii U.

I'd have to agree but I can't see DC using the JL Unlimited Aqua Man any time soon and though it does make me slightly sad at least this gives me another game to go for the Wii U.

I wanted the mulleted Aqua Man with the hook hand from the late 90s Justice League cartoon.

...unlockable costume...? DLC as a worst case scenario.

So aside from thinking "THAT WAS BAD ASS AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO PLAY THAT" was anyone else hoping the Shark Attack is a Fatality? Odds are it wasn't but this is a Nether Realms fighting game. I may be missing out on a statue and DLC but I can't wait to add this one to my Wii U collection!

My God, this looks so epic! I really like what they have done with Aquamans costume, it looks like something that could be translated well onto the big screen.

Overall, looking forward to this game. Hopefully Netherealm will make good use of the lisence and the trailers give me hope they will!

Well, I guess one way to avoid jumping the shark is to get the shark to do your bidding and eat your competators.

In terms of visual appeal however, that's nothing compared to Aquaman's finishing move. First, the King of Atlantis uses his complete control of water to summon a tidal wave and engulf the level in water. Then, after spearing his opponent to prevent escape, a large shark suddenly emerges from the darkness and swallows its victim in a single gulp. I'll say this much: It's certainly a strong shift away from the Superfriends version of Aquaman that players were more likely to recognize.

Is it confirmed that the tidal wave and shark are from his finishing move? It seems to me that they could be from a story segment or a stage hazard.

Perhaps it's both, although I would find it strange if Flash getting eaten was a plot point.

Firstly: I do like Aquaman. A lot. I also hate the 'useless' stigma he has been given, but all the arguments that he owns 70% of the planet? Not true. The earth is a sphere. Aquaman owns 70% of the planet SURFACE. If there is a DC character who owns the underground, they have the planet in the palm of their vitamin D deficient hand.

So Aquaman feeds the Flash to his pet shark?

I have only one question...

Does said shark have a frickin laser attached to its head?

You know, I was kinda on the fence about this game for a bit, but now I think I'll DEFINITELY get it. Kudos to Netherrealm for recognizing that Aquaman is a certified badass in his own right.

When I DO get this game, I'm probably going to use Aquaman online, just to troll all those people who think he's useless because of Superfriends and Family Guy.

 

[wickedmonkey]

Definitely an improvement.

 

[WanderingFool]

So they let the real Aquaman out to play... fucking awesome...

 

[The Great JT]

Well, let's get this out of the way...

Right, now that that's settled, good to see Aquaman getting a little respect. But can I just ask one thing. Why no beard? Everyone knows he looks more awesome with the beard! Why it's...it's...OUTRAGEOUS!!!

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Okay they're trying but all I can say is....
Lol, it's Aquaman.

 

[Warachia]

Okay they're trying but all I can say is....
Lol, it's Aquaman.

What is there to laugh at? Are you laughing that he's super strong, super fast, that he's bulletproof, or that he legally owns roughly 70% of the planet?

 

[Trishbot]

I used to hate Aquaman. Now I just can't help but smile at every awesome thing he does.

"I don't talk to fish."

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

To be fair though, nobody was cool in Superfriends. Not even Batman.

Though I think this needs to be posted.
