Is Superman a bad guy again? Like are they literally rehashing the exact same idea from the first game?
Either way DC comic heroes are dumb, they lack everything that makes superheroes good or interesting. And I don't need another fighting game when Tekken 7 is about to come into my life and I'll once again be able to Kung Fu the shit outta some ballsacks.

I get a lot of fighting games although I dont play them that much (just to many darn games and responsibilities) but regardless I most likely wont be getting Injustice 2.
Its the DLC that puts me off now the gear system is fine if indeed you can turn it off in ranked (and not only if your opponent agrees to it) but the abusive character DLC they do and Capcom is following is a real deal breaker for me on top of the so far subpar combat . Plus I am not a huge fan of DC I mean I dont dislike DC or anything but it just has little pull for me. If lady Shiva gets in and doesnt look terrible (as in aesthetically as they tend to make horrible female models) I will likely pick it up in a few years.
There is also the fact there are many many great fighter out there at the moment I would rather be trying to play and ofc GGREV2 (which I may have to delay getting
) and Tekken 7 (which I am really looking forward to even with the scummy pre order character lock Netherealms like bs) are out soon.

Same Earth but set several years in the future. Superman isnt the main antagonist. The game also has multiple endings.undeadsuitor said:

I never get a proper answer as to why DC Heroes are not interesting when compared to Marvel heroes in general?CritialGaming said:
Why is Flash and Green Lantern not interesting but Thor and Human Torch are?
It's because DC heroes are God-like and Marvel heroes are relatable....at least that's the stock answer that the internet convinced itself was the case.Samtemdo8 said:
Yeah, Thor is totally not Godlike.SirSullymore said:
And I don't see how characters like Black Canary is any more Godlike than Invisible Woman
Even though Thor is the freakin' Norse God of Thunder.Samtemdo8 said:Yeah, Thor is totally not Godlike.SirSullymore said:

Its more of in the sense that DC's heroes are those you look up to. Marvel's are more relatable.
I find all 4 of the heroes relatable. Hal tries to overcome his issues of fear based on the death of his father influencing him, Flash the same with the death of his mom (or in Wally West's case, continuing the legacy created by Barry), Thor wanting to understand humanity and see the light in the way. Human Torch feeling issues at times with these powers and how to be normal.
I think its down to the method or something. Some feel that DC was way too overpowered heroes and Marvel's are much more relatable or down to Earth. I can see their point, but don't necessarily agree with them since even DC's most powerful are relatable as well.Samtemdo8 said:
I will just randomly mention that Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2 is coming out in 10 days, and is a 20 buck update if you own rev1 already, and that the demo is up for ps4.

He's where the word "Brainiac" came from. He's an alien AI who likes to shrink cities, put them in glass jars, and collect them. He's also probably Superman's nemesis but tends not to ever get a mention in the movies, so no one knows about him.
So far the game is exactly what I wanted, it's the first with a lot more content (and Captain Cold). Haha
So if you like the first you'll like this and if you hated the first don't bother.

For me it is a little unfair of an answer, because since I don't read DC comics I can't accurately state why specific characters from the DC universe are bad versus Marvel. Flash and Green Lantern are two of those characters that I know next to nothing about so I can't really say with any certainty that they are bad.Samtemdo8 said:
To me though, DC characters almost universally feel like one dementional cliche characters. One trick ponies with very little, if any depth to them. Where as Marvel tends to make characters with a lot of faults, and humanity to them.
Let's take Batman, and line him up with someone in Marvel like the Punisher. Well both of these characters have emotional baggage, and they are both vigilanties right? What makes the Punisher an interesting character is that, unlike Batman, he isn't pure. He murders people, under the justification that they are all just scumbags anyway and the world is better off without them. Batman never murders, and as a result he is always good and just. The Punisher makes the reader think about things, like should they be routing for this guy? Are he actions justified even though there is a strong moral issue behind how he goes about things. Batman is a selfish, self-centered rich bastard that just does what the cops should do, only he had gadgets that make him better at it.
Batman isn't interesting because there is no confliction in him. (At least in my eyes).
The Punisher is interesting because there is conflict to what he does and how he does it.
DC has characters like Superman, who is just an invulnerable badass with unlimited power. They gave him a single weakness in Kryptonite and unless the badguys use it against him, then it isn't even a fair fight. Not to mention Superman is so morally one-sided that he just isn't interesting. He is over powered and that makes him boring.
My favorite characters in the Marvel universe are the X-Men. What makes the X-Men so great is that every character is different, not just in their powers, but also in their personal battles. Jean Grey for example is in a constant battle with an all powerful entity inside of her. Wolverine has the demons of his incredibly long past that haunt him in sometimes crippling ways. Rogue deals with personal isolation due to never being able to have true physical contact with anyone. The entire mutant world deals with the subjication of racism on top of all of it. It adds to their world, and their dynamic with how they interact with each other and the world around them.
That's just my opinion of it. Everything I've seen from DC is just incredibly bland to me. Maybe I've just seen the wrong stuff, but that's how I have seen it.
Name a poster child DC character that is relatable. And I don't mean some random street level hero like Black Canary or fukken...I can't think of any other DC street level heroes. One any random person on the street would know.Natemans said:
When you line up Superman (a really strong alien), Batman (a genius billionaire playboy whose parents got killed)or Wonder Woman (...a really strong woman I guess? I mean I know her origin but most people wouldn't) or the Flash (I know literally nothing about him beside he breaks reality on a panel-by-panel basis) against Spiderman (a bullied nerd who gets superpowers), Captain America (a bullied weakling who got superpowers) or
What I'm trying to say is that there's depth and there's relatability. As a general rule people don't know what it's like to be a super strong alien or a genius billionaire playboy. People (especially comic book fans) know what it's like to be a bullied nerd (though in fairness not what it's like to be married to a supermodel) or just be a normal human. A lot of poster-child DCs characters were never normal people. Peter Parker grew up in Queens and had a normal formative 15 or so years, Bruce Banner was just a smarter than average guy doing his day job, Steve Rogers just wanted to punch some Nazis (Captain ANTIFA when?). Aside from X-Men (who are another kettle of fish entirely) the classic Marvel characters were all just people who were normal and fell into their powers. DC's classic characters were born with their advantages. If they were even born at all WONDER WOMAN. "Oh no, a guy is being mean to Clark Kent but he can't hit him because he would become a goopy smear on the other side of the room I KNOW THAT FEELING!" is not something that people think when reading Superman. Maybe some people do, but they're insane. Basically, DC characters need to check their superhero privilege.
Also most comic characters are all dumb and silly but entertaining.
