Injustice: Gods Among Us 2 Poster Leaks, Shows Batman vs. The Flash

An official announcement could come soon, apparently.

32 Comments

The evidence for Injustice: Gods Among Us 2 continues to mount.

The latest example comes today by way of a poster featuring The Flash and Batman about to do battle. There is a tagline that says, "Every battle defines you."

No Caption Provided

This poster apparently comes from GameStop. In a letter to store managers, which was shared with Polygon, it's explained that the poster will be a preorder bonus for Injustice 2. You can see the poster here at Polygon.

Earlier this month, unnamed sources said Injustice 2 was in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. According to the report, it will be announced soon and released in March 2017.

In possibly related news, NetherRealm boss Ed Boon has changed his Twitter avatar to "II," while his background image is of a drumroll. Boon has been known to tease game reveals before their formal announcement.

The first Injustice: Gods Among Us was released in April 2013, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. An Ultimate Edition featuring improved visuals and all post-release downloadable content was later launched for PS4 and Xbox One.

Injustice takes place in an alternate universe where Joker unleashes a nuclear bomb on Metropolis and tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and his son. In response, Superman establishes himself as High Councillor of a World Government and begins a dictatorship. Batman leads a group of rebel forces and the heroes and villains of the DC Universe are forced to take sides.

The video game spawned a successful, critically acclaimed comic book series, which is scheduled to end this year. An Injustice mobile game was also released for iOS and Android.

The last game NetherRealm released was Mortal Kombat X. As with Injustice, an updated version of this called Mortal Kombat XL was released for PS4 and PC.

Would you be interested in a new Injustice game? Let us know in the comments below.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that the Ultimate Edition also came to Xbox One. GameSpot regrets the error.

I'd like to see a bigger starter roster. Keep the ones from the original game but add at least 5-6 more to start off with.

Still one more error:
"...As with Injustice, an updated version of this called Mortal Kombat XL was released for PS4 and PC"

MK XL was not released on PC only on PS4 and Xbox One.
Do GS journalists even bother anymore???

@Henninger: Me too...

Eddie and Dan Auty are the worst journalists I've seen in any gaming website (yes, including IGN). I can ignore spelling/grammatical mistakes since they're easy to mess up sometimes, but the absence of simple fact checking???
Isn't that like journalism 101???

Pathetic....

MK XL was never released for PC. In addition, I feel like Ed Boon will **** the PC version like he did with MKX. what i mean by this is making it available for PC for a few months, after that send out a public announcment saying we don't support this game anymore on PC and thank you for your $$.

@jack00: they explained it really simple. Superman felt outnumbered, so he used kryptonian tech to create little green pills that contain nanites that increase the tensile strength of both bones and muscles a thousand-fold for a short period of time. To put it in Marvel terms, Superman created the DC version of Captain America's super soldier formula, but in a controlled dose with temporary benefits, but unlike the Marvel universe, the formula wasn't lost and instead leaked out to everyone.

@thecman25: The roster had a bit of filler but was huge. Although, I did play the PS4 version which might have had more characters.

I was hooked on Injustice! I couldn't believe how much fun I was having with that game... I'm excited for the sequel. Just hoping for no MK characters this time around and maybe replace the lab missions with another side game instead... I'm sure they can think of something better for heroes and villains to do

@bunchanumbers: nintendo has a history of high support 1st year then next to no support as the console ages so it is no surprise as it is considered last gen. there are virtually no 3rd party games for it at least no multi platform.

@bunchanumbers: My best guess it'll come to NX. No point in trying to port games for Wii U when the new Nintendo console is coming next year.

I liked Injustice a lot, but I feel like it was let down a little bit by how familiar it was. It's another one of those games where I could demolish the single-player all day, but then go online and lose to some noob with noobish tactics. It's the same reason why I didn't like Mortal Kombat X multiplayer, as well as Marvel vs. Capcom 3 multiplayer, the competitive game always feels dishonorable. I hope they do something really different in this second game, or else I might not be too keen on buying it, at least not right away. Plus the S.T.A.R. Labs missions were really lame, in a game featuring superheroes it sucks that they can't come up with something a little bit more creative than just a challenge mode.

@deathblow3: Eh. Every time I played against another person, I just got locked into a permanent combo. Basically once the other person hits you, you might as well put down the controller. MvC2 was better.

I hope they add more DC characters this time around and not keep reusing the same characters from the last Injustice game. Still though, looking forward to this new one and it wouldn't surprise me to see skins from Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Sometimes, I wonder if there will be Marvel vs DC game?

Oh god yes. I still wish Capcom did it for the actual fighting as I never really got used to the MK fighting system. But NetherRealm sure as hell beats Capcom to a pulp with their rewarding content and feature-filled games.

@oddsnake: But if Capcom did it the game would be delayed and released incompletely.

As much as I loved the original Injustice... NRS and WB totally burned me on the PC port of MKX. Will watch on twitch... but no buy.
