Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I'm hyped as heck for Injustice 2, I loved the first game (even if I suck at playing it at harder difficulties) I loved the prequel comics, and I've been finding out that I love the DC Universe more and more with every game, comic, and TV episode.
And while I'm looking forward to playing as Darkseid in Injustice 2 (I've been praying for him to be playable ever since I watched the announcement trailer, I don't care if he's a pre-order bonus) I'm left still wondering who else is gonna make an appearance in that game.
Who do you think you'd like to see in Injustice 2?
Regarding DC Characters, Jason Todd, aka Red Hood, certainly is the first to come to my mind, considering how his skills and fighting style certainly can fit a fighting game easily enough.
I'd hope for Guy Gardner maybe, though he died in the prequel comics, but then again John Stewart is appearance as a premier skin for Green Lantern (whoever is taking the mantle, assuming Hal Jordon won't be getting his ring back), so I guess anything's possible.
Aside from that though, I'm mainly hoping for return appearances of characters I already enjoyed playing as in the first Injustice game, mainly Lobo, Green Arrow (or maybe Red Arrow), Martian Manhunter, and Lex Luthor (Yeah, I know his Injustice!verse counterpart is dead, but Netherrealm can have a character with a similar moveset take his place at least)
Regarding possible non-DC guest characters however, if I had to pick any character I'd like to see in Injustice 2, shockingly, I'd like to see Bugs Bunny.
Now I know it sounds ridiculous on paper, and admittedly it might be awkward to fit someone as cartoony as Bugs Bunny in a world like Injustice 2 which is filled with photo-realistic humannoid characters (plus one talking ape), but hear me out;
Bugs Bunny has shown some impressive cartoon antics for decades, and taking into account both the cartoons AND video games he's appeared in (and he's appeared in more than afew good ones), He actually has a varied and effective arsenal that could certainly put him on equal footing with the heroes and villains of the DC Universe, such as swinging a cartoon mallet as a "transition" attack, or throwing carrots as projectiles like he did in Time Busters.
Plus, Netherrealm Studios could play Bugs' appearance in the game for laughs, with having his pre-battle dialogue with other fighters show his opponents expressing varying level of disbelief in having to fight him, This combined with the possible Clash dialogue he could have with other fighters could help bring a decent amount of levity to Injustice's otherwise downbeat and dark tone.
