New Injustice 2 Trailer Shows Off Playable Catwoman, Cheetah, Black Canary, and Poison Ivy

[Nature Guardian]

-It's a goddamn comic book game, we need ALL the characters to look like super models and god(dess).

Yeah, Swamp Thing and Scarecrow and Atrocitus are definitely soooooooooo sexy.

@Nature Guardian:
To me they are, in what they're portraying.

Swamp Thing is Gaia's Knight. So his/it's portrayal as a force of nature make sense.

Scarecrow, well, it's in the fucking NAME. He's a goddamn SCARECROW and his 'sex appeal' comes from his devotion to terror.

Atrocitus only looks like he does because of his history. Scars make the man as it were. For his people, he was probably a stud.

Hell, fucking Sinestro looks good. His skin with that yellow looks fucking amazing, and (comic book history) he was kind of 'big pimping' because he had that look the 'good girls' wanted in a 'bad boy'.

What.

Reading problems? If your first reaction to actual and valid criticism of horrible design is 'SEXISTS!!!111' you have issues. Serious issues. Go fix those issues. Also, Escapist now has issues with ignore list. Wow. Much fun. Many comfort. This is a good face:

This is okay design: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/5/5d/Piper_Wright_at_DC.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160221143608
This is brilliant for its time: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/hu/thumb/f/f5/BGE_Jade.jpg/250px-BGE_Jade.jpg

Ok, all the examples you posted seem fine to me. But I don't see the difference between the other ones and the Injustice one.

@Nature Guardian: I probably wasn't going to play this anyway. I'm not into fighting games. But there's not much gameplay to discuss. I'd most likely have to play it to judge the mechanics.

This isn't about sex. I would criticize bad looking male character designs too. I don't like their outfits. Some of the faces are weird too.

Maybe I should actually go and make a thread about it, but can we actually discuss about how underwhelming the roster is?

Why putting Cheetah AND Catwoman; Superman AND Supergirl; Swamp Thing AND Poison Ivy?

The cast is boring enough without occupying half of it with the same base concept idea repeated on another character.

This actually annoys me greatly because I AM someone who's quite into fighting games. But this roster is too boring....

I mean, we are talking about a series that at one time had seven or eight identical (except for the color and gimick) ninjas on the roster.

True, but those were other times!

Not bad Escapist. Hardly a record, but a solid performance.

Hey, man. Yeah, I agree. Who else is waiting for the comics tied to this?

I was hoping for Power Girl to be in this one, but oh well.

she is in the game, if you pre order you get a Power Girl skin for Supergirl.

on topic of these characters... my only complaints is how many Batman characters we seem to be getting. Cheeta is a nice addition though, I don't care much for the character but it makes more sense for Wonder Woman to get her nemesis in the game rather than just Ares.
