Picking up in Gotham City, the initial moments show Metropolis utterly devastated by a nuclear explosion. Batman is seen interrogating the Joker in Gotham, during which the Man of Steel blasts through the wall and attempts to kill the Clown Prince of Crime, saying something about being drugged and duped into causing the blast. We then flash back to before the nuke detonated and take the role of Batman checking up on Joker at Arkham Asylum, after seeing sequences of familiar heroes and villains fighting in Metropolis. Sights of such characters as Aquaman, Shazam, Doomsday and Sinestro hint at coming playable fighter reveals.

I'm not losing my mind until I see ingame models.They can just be cameos,you know.
Though instant wreking if Shazam/Captain Marvel is in.
Dat lightning.

@zuuru
go read a dam comic noob and learn about the character.
Shazam and Aquaman are a given. Siniestro and Doomsday? I don't think so.
Wouldn't Sinestro be basically a clone of Green Lantern? Doomsday would be an interesting addition but he would mostly be like Solemon and Bane. Aquaman? I can't picture him as a fighter in a fighting game but I might be surprised. Shazam? Mostly likely a reboot of MK Vs DC.
Ok DC fans please explain how is Siniestro different than Green Lantern. I'm not a DC fan but as far as I know they have the same powers just with different colors and that the source of the power is will for green and fear for yellow.
Doomsday was a must in this game and I suppose that Darkseid will be in too.
Shazam and Captain Marvel are the same character/person?
@11 Green Lantern creates constructs that are more "Earthly" like a giant pan, a helicopter, or a shield. Sinestro's ring is powered by fear, so his constructs are more nightmarish, like demonic faces and creatures.
As for those who think Aquaman is a joke...he was only a "joke" during the early cartoons where he was kind of a goofball. If you remember 70's Batman, he was an absolute joke too, by calling Aquaman a joke character only shows ignorance.
^
this guy is a ignorant fool who think he is useless lol
@11 yes Captain Marvel/Shazam is the same character.In the new 52 Captain name has been scraspped so now he's just Shazam.
Oh god, I hope they don't add Doomsday.
Sinestro and Captain Marvel(I refuse to call him Shazam)? F*** yeah!
Aquaman? Eh, don't care. It'll probably happen, since DC will likely want the full New52 JL in the game, but unlike some people, I don't see Aquaman as useless(though I wonder how usefull he could be away from the water...)
@11
Just because 2 characters have the same/similar powers doesn't mean they can't be used differently. As an Imagination Based Superpower, what a Lantern Ring can do depends greatly on its user.
@19
He will still crack heads even away from Water.
@jtir123
Thanks for the clarification on the differences between Green Lantern and Sinestro. Did not know that aspect of Sinestro. Now it sounds like he could be a useful addition.
Besides super strength...
* In some continuities, Aquaman has some hydrokinesis, being able to form water into constructs--Injustice is it's own continuity, so if they wanted, Aquaman can summon a tsunami or create a bubble of water with a sea creature in it. IF they wanted.
* He'll likely be wielding a trident. Give any character in a fighting game a different weapon and their moveset changes dramatically. Nightwing uses kali sticks for example.
* He's not only able to command sea creatures, but even animals that life partially on land such as Polar Bears, and sea gulls.
@15
I do. it's bland, it's generic it's boring and he's still useless compared to any other hero.
if it weren't for the redesign in the past years, he'd be even more useless. and he'll always have that stigma of being a joke; because he was designed as one.
@13
Actually you're not quite right. In the DC Universe, there are different kinds of energies all based on the light spectrum and each one tied to different emotions. Green is for will, meaning they can shape it's energy in any form they want, but it's weak against the color yellow. Yellow is for fear which causes them to create fearful shapes and it's weak against blue. You also have red, orange, indigo, violet, black and white, but it would be too long to describe them all.
@20
Being on land isn't the point of Aquaman. He's the single defender of the ocean, which is 80% of Earth. Under water he's on par with Superman, he controls an entire army of Atlanteans which can easily bring down the entire Justice League, he can mind control any under water creature (he used to only be able to speak to them, but now they've changed it to mind control). Also unlike the rest of the Justice League, he has and will still use lethal force if he has to.
If he makes the final cut: Aquaman confirmed to be this game's Dan/Hsienko *Kappa*
Anyway I'm just wondering why did they changed him so much in the new 52 where he's basically one of the go-to guys due to his newly installed badassery. If he didn't suck at all, I assume there wouldn't be a need to change his persona just to hype him up and tell the world: "remember guys, aquaman is awesome, it's just you that don't get the character right"
Hope Shazam is in the game that would be hype. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@29 They "hyped him up" because other media (the animated series, for example) didn't do the trick (the one where he cut off his hand to save his child, and replaced it with a hook). His "badassery" is just as newly installed as the changes of many heroes from the Silver Age, Golden Age, etc. Batman was a joke at one point too, getting gritty only recently. Aquaman only got that rep. because of what generally people assume his sole power to be (talking to fishes) and his ridiculous name and outfit.
If they're willing to put consider Shazam I wonder if they're considering Black Adam. I'd like to see that.
Sounds good, though Shazam is rather dull in my opinion but hey I felt the same about Superman for a while before this game was announced and I'm liking what they're doing with him in the new DC comics as a whole so my opinion may change for Shazam as well.
I like that they're bringing in more villains other than the usuals too, with that said, still waiting for Lobo.
I like all these characters, expect for Shazam, because Black Adam is much cooler. I also would prefer Darkseid over Doomsday but prefer Doomsday to both Bane and Grundy.
Also, in the 1st railer, I was "promised" Captain Cold. The Flash-universe needs more love.
Gorilla Grod anyone? If Aquaman is in, maybe Black Manta. And don't know why, but I really am hoping for Swamp Thing
@24
So Aquamoron is gonna be yelling at seagulls and polar bears to fight for him, or he's magically gonna summon orbs of water with sea creatures in them. Or he's gonna poke people with a trident. None of this sounds like the making of a legitimate character for this game. Still, if you're hyped for Aquafart then maybe others are too.
Favorite suggestions on this page: Gorilla Grod, Black Manta, Starfire, Mr. Freeze, Swamp Thing.
Let's see someone obscure and completely unexpected! Plus, who is their "Sentinel!?"
captain marvel would be cool but i cant see him being drastically different from superman. doomsday would be awesome though again i dont see him being too different than grundy who, in my personal opinion, doesnt deserve to be in this game.
im trying to like this game because i really liked the old school DC fighter Justice League Task Force but i cringe whenever i think of how many batman characters are in this game. even if you dont count Grundy and Deathstroke that still leaves Batman, Nightwing, Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Bane
I know people like to complain about how marvel 3 had only one spiderman character but at least its better than having 7 or 9
calling captain marvel "shazam" was a dumb idea from the start. this would be the capcom equivalent of changing ryu's name to "shoryuken."
also. F**K YES for including Doomsday. one of the few DC characters worth a damn. make him the Haggar or Hulk of Injustice and I'm sold. With Bane and Solomon Grundy already announced, this game might be awesome if they all turn out as brawlers/grapplers.
God yes! Sinestro would satisfy my Green Lantern fanboyism! For those wondering if Sinestro would fight like GL. Sinestro would essentially be the Akuma to GL's Ryu. Sinestro would fight very similar to GL but he would be much more brutal.
I love all these choices but my favorites are Aquaman and Sinestro. Hopefully they have their new 52 looks.
Sinestro is the greatest GL villain and will likely have completely different constructs and moves.
Aquaman doesn't get any respect but is a complete badass in the new 52 and the center of the Justice Leagues current event story arc.
I'd actually buy the game for Shazam, it will be a pity if they don't include him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPTWTn... for those who still think he's useless.
So there you go some are just for the story.Still I think Captain MArvel is in because he's the only one of the MKvsDC cast that hasnt been announced.Still he MIGHT be replaced by Black Adam.Either way I'm maining any of the two day one and if not then Lex Luthor it is.
@CBX
His name is Shazam now they change it in the new 52 comics while you read the justice league comic

Haters gonna hate.
Boon via Twitter: "Some characters in story & other modes aren't playable. Sorry."
Probably a reference to Doomsday. I think he's likely an unplayable end-boss type character like MK9's Gorro.
smh @ all the people that don't know **** about Aquaman outside of the stupid joke of a character that was in the Superfriends that's forever ruined his reputation.
Flip, post about the alternate skins: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansite...
You know a girl is faking an orgasm when she looks into your eyes and says, "Shazam!"
@ 50 Ugh that voice.
I agree with Zukuu. I don't care how many time they redo Aquaman, to be me he will always be a lame hero. Thats just my opinion and I respect if others disagree. Hell Except for Batman and his rogue gallery, Doomsday, GL to some extent, and the Watchmen universe I generally dislike the entirety of the DC universe. Again just my opinion. I hope the game turns out solid for those who do like it though.
Marvel has a Captain Marvell and MS.Marvel
DC's captain marvel would shout Shazam which stood for
Solomon Hercules Atlas Zeus Achilles and Mercury.
Doomsday would be awesome. That actually gave me a little chubby thinking about Superman vs Doomsday... ahh childhood memories
