The Injustice: Gods Among Us Roster


NetherRealm Studios is releasing their DC-based fighter in the spring, and we expect a steady stream of character reveals as the months roll on. As we've been doing with Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, we'll be updating this story as NetherRealm and WB pull the curtain back. Keep an eye on this story to keep up to date on the latest reveals in the Mortal Kombat developer's upcoming title.

NEW - DeathStrokeA trailer showing off DeathStroke's gunplay and sword fighting skills has shown up online.
Green Lantern: No details yet. Creator Ed Boon confirmed via Twitter that Green Lantern is in the game after the box art appeared online.
Joker: No details yet. Creator Ed Boon confirmed via Twitter that Joker is in the game after thebox art appeared online.
Green Arrow: Oliver Queen brings his bow skills to the fight. He comes packed with a number of different arrow types to annoy your opponents from afar.
Batman: It wouldn't be a DC fighter without the Caped Crusader, and he's here in full force. He features the typical assortment of gadget-based projectiles and attacks, and his Batcave stage features plenty of environmental hazards.
Harley Quinn: Joker's main squeeze has some gadgets of her own, including a pistol, a massive hammer, booby-trapped gift packages, and a deadly birthday cake.
Superman: The Man of Steel can attack with his iconic assortment of powers, but he can also knock an enemy into orbit (and back) with his ridiculously over-the-top super move.
Wonder Woman: Most fighters in Injustice fight from only one stance, but Wonder Woman can switch between her lasso and her sword/shield combo. Her moveset will change significantly depending on which stance you're currently in.
Catwoman: Batman's on-again, off-again love interest can attack with her whip and bladed claws, and looks to be one of the quickest characters in the game based on her debut trailer.
Flash: This superhero features one of the more useful abilities in the game, as he can essentially slow down time. With his enemies moving in slow motion, it's far easier to get in a flurry of attacks. Oh yeah, and he can sprint around the world to build up a massive punch to the face.
Solomon Grundy: This unfortunate Gotham resident has a particularly brutal super move. He pulls cleavers out of his back, slices his opponent with them, and then pulls a tombstone out of his own chest. Of course, he proceeds to crack it over his victim's skull.
Nightwing: Robin's alter-ego is one of the more agile fighters in the game, and can combine his dual sticks into a large staff. He also comes equipped with bladed projectiles that can be tossed from the ground or air.
Cyborg: This half-robotic fighter is deadly from any range with his laser-guided missile attack, and can pull out a massive cannon that emits a devastating laser blast.
