One of Kevin Conroys most chilling moments as Batman was when he threatened to depower and permanently take Clark's powers away with gold Kryptonite. RIP Kevin
@JoshuaKevinPerry its in Batmans ending after defeating Braniac, they all start arguing and Superman tries to rally his regime. Then Batman cuts Clark with a blade made from Gold Kryptonite.
Batman is an ass. He constantly fails to keep baddies put away. After the Joker escaped the first time, and killed more people, it was time to kill him. He was just like Ted Bundy, but WORSE. Batman is a dick for trying to stop him. Superman was right the whole time. It would be awesome if a Superman took over, and stopped all the BS corruption in govt. It's not always the "right thing" to let bad guys keep living, just to kill more, while they party. The only justice THEY will ever get, is if there is an afterlife.
@@Sgt.Dornan117 That's dumb though. Superman sees at the speed of light. He could fly behind Bruce, before Bruce would be able to grab it. Also, if Superman REALLY punched Bruce. He'd dent Bat's armor into his body and probably split him, like Darth Maul.
It's hard to imagine them making an Injustice 3 without Kevin Conroy as Batman. It just won't be the same without him and it's hard to imagine how they would move forward.
@@SomeWeirdoPerson If you mean that they should recast the role, we both know that they'll never come close to what he brought to the character. I don't mean to talk negatively about their performances, but it's just not going to be the same without Kevin and I'm pretty sure they know that as well.
11:59 I know this is supposed to be a serious video, but seeing Reverse Flash just... not move away from the deflected Ice Shot is the funniest thing I've seen today.
Blue Beetle: There any line you won't cross? Superman: I don't hurt children. Blue Beetle: Didn't stopped you with Shazam. Superman: Only criminals can interfere me. Batman: Shazam and Green Arrow weren't criminals! Superman: Casualties of war! Flash: How come you're not have regrets, Victor? Cyborg: Because I know we did the right thing! Flash: 2 words: Billy Batson! Black Adam: Shazam's death shouldn't have faced you! Flash: Killing children is never ok! Black Adam: He was sacrifice for the greater good.
@@johnsantos507 the fact that he justify killing an child as a war casuality disgust me, and kill black canary which was the same thing as killing lois, he killed a pregnant woman. They wrote superman so well
The Injustice games and comics anger me because they show me what could have been if the Injustice movie wasn't a movie and instead was a miniseries. It could have been well fleshed out and developed but instead we got whatever that movie was.
Yeah but he loved Jason. Wanted a break through with him. To see where he’s coming from. Like a father saying, “look kid… take it from me” to his son that he absolutely loves. With Clark he didn’t do any of that. He didn’t want a break through. He didn’t want to care about him. He wanted him in a deep red solar hole. He took that day as a confirmation of everything he ever believed would happen. Even though we are obviously supposed to be on his side, I hated how self righteous and sure of himself it made him. He never truly tried. Also I hate Damian but the way Bruce treats him after the accident with dick…. I was disgusted with almost everyone.
The best part of Injustice 2, the comic, was the whole arc with Killer Croc trying to date Orca while the rest of The Suicide Squad is just being supportive as fuck. Suicide Squad best team in DC by far.
I have been binge playing injustice 2 lately. I can't bring myself to play with sound when Batman is on screen. I also won't be able to stop imitating his voice if I hear it.
The injustice universe is such a phenomenal and dark story I love it and it’s very well written to me. It would seriously have made a great rated R series if they did it well. Seriously tho SO MANY PEOPLE DIE it’s depressing but this is the first comic book story to me where death ACTUALLY happens and is shocking
DCeased is a DC zombie story that has similar vibes and themes involving death also by Tom Taylor funnily enough. Dude is really good about killing off superheroes and then filling the whole in the narrative that death creates. Despite it's premise and genre tropes present, it does a lot like those early Injustice comics to really define what loss means to these characters and explore how they move past it.
It would have been better if a good portion of Batman’s Rouges Gallery turned to Batman’s side and become Heroes. To symbolize how far Superman and those who follow him had fallen, that the people who used to look up to them, now most relied on ‘former criminals’ to protect them from their ‘Fallen Heroes.’
The game’s story wasn’t perfect at all, but that final talk between Bruce and Clark before their final fight was really touching. They still were thinking about what could’ve been if they managed to stop what happened. It’s sad. Great video, cheers.
Hello! I began watching your videos around a week or two ago, and since then I think I've gone through about half your catalogue. Just wanted to let you know before watching this one that what you do is insanely cool and that I (and a lot of other people) appreciate you and the videos you make. Subbed the first day and here to stay. :)
The moment I heard the song in the beginning I just had a feeling this was going to be an amazing video, glad that feeling was right. I really loved the moment in the injustice 2 comics where Dinah literally sacrificed her life and was laying on the floor bleeding out about to die then Doctor fate shows up stares at her and says “fuck fate” before healing her and taking her to another universe with a widowed Oliver.
The best part of Injustice 2 is Hal's redemption arc, hands down. Yeah, it's not exactly deep or thorough, but I like how brightly it's shown twice. Firstly, when he defies the Red Ring. It's not an unneccesary bravado of how "anger is bad and willpower is good". He acknowledges the hate. He admits that he hates himself, that Atrocitus is right. Secondly, when Cost-City is destroyed. He just lost his hometown, with no way of restoring it. His love, his family, gone in a single moment. He stands still for moments, unable to move, right until Superman is depowered by Gold Kryptonite. Yet he stands on Batman's side. No matter what he feels now, no matter how he hates Brainiac for what he's done, he understands that he is needed alive, so nobody else has to suffer the same fate. Hal feels rage, even stronger than ever before, even Atrocitus feels it and tries to call him. Yet he still overcomes it and fights Superman. He's lost, Clark breaks his fingers like it's nothing. But Hal redeemed himself. In the blackest night of his life, Green Lantern shines brighter than ever before.
Yeah! I saw it. Although Superman is finally free from all the things he has done throughout the games of Injustice and he can see Lois Lane and her unborn son in heaven. The Regime are no more this time.
My main thought about Injustice 2 is that it would have been a lot better if it kept a focus on Supergirl as the driving protagonist. In the game, she was pretty much just another victim of the "good = sucks" theme of the game's main story. She doesn't even get to be the one who defeats Brainiac, and I think the general plot would have been better if it was a battle for Supergirl's soul between Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman; the redeemed supervillain vs. the fallen superhero. Imagine if Superman died at the very beginning of the Injustice 2 comics, and Supergirl never even met him, so she only had stories to go off of from different people, such as Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman, leading up to the moment she defeats Brainiac, and has to choose between killing Brainiac or not, and would then clash between either Harley Quinn or Wonder Woman. This is just naturally basing the story off of the character developments done so far, instead of the actual main story where Harley Quinn and Supergirl are interesting characters, but neither Harley Quinn nor Supergirl seem to have any real impact on the main story's plot, and no one else really develops much at all.
aah, as a supergirl fangirl who was very excited to play as kara, and her being billed as a major protagonist, only for her to be a secondary plot-point character in the ongoing batman-superman storyline, not even the pivot point of the story... you reopened some old wounds with this comment, friendo. but now i'm tempted to reinstall just to zip around and punch people with supergirl, one thing they got right is that she is very fun to play, zip zip zip
This Super Girl and Harleynwere by far my favorite characters in the game and it's a shame that they never ..... did anything with them for the second half of the game, heck the last time we see Harley she is stabbed by Wonder Woman and Kara tries to save her and ...... that's it ? Like, there is no conclusion to it, the game doesn't even say if she lived or died (I assume she lived but the game doesn't even bother to acknowledge that plot point). A huge shame because Harley is my favorite character in the games and I love her storyline
So much this. My main thought when playing the game was that Supergirl has all this setup, only to get shafted at every turn. Your suggestions would have given the game so much more depth in its story, and given Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn and Supergirl real tangible conflict and themes to build on. The very concept of Injustice Superman as a legacy in the story may seem trite at a glance (anytime someone tries this with any Superman in a story it tends to have mixed results), but it would have been so much more effective than what we had because Injustice Superman no longer contrasts with anything as Batman is shown in the game to share many similarities with the only contrast being how far over the line they're willing to cross. Supergirl, who is supposed to contrast Superman, achieves almost nothing and fails to tip the thematic scales in any meaningful way. Hell, taking it one step further and not killng Injustice Superman but shelving him and letting his reputation speak for him for most of the plot would have made a really good setup for a final battle between Supergirl and Injustice Superman in the Harley Quinn path. This would have elevated him into a symbol contrasting Supergirl's own based on her decisions and her family legacy, leading into a fight for the soul of her house.
In defense of the games, I suspect some of the changes came from the development process, it's one thing to have professional 2D artists draw a full book of characters they are familiar with and a good writer that 'understands the voices of the characters' write said book, but... it's entirely another to fully 3D model, rig for animation, add textures and colors, then animate, and voice act, those characters with the same consistency by a game developer team that maybe only half or less of them know these characters as well as the comic team did, all while under far stricter deadlines. I do think they dropped the ball on the overall story quality they could have done, they could have got to the same emotional beats and meaningful moments with the smaller cast in the games if they wanted to and could have been more careful to tie it back into the comics more effectively, so all points in this video are still very much valid, just saying I can see why they may have had issues and that I understand it.
Not to mention that the game designers need to do all of that while still fitting in fight scenes so the people can play the game. That will also make the story not flow as well.
@@phabiorules this is why I have a problem with this RUclipsr saying that the comic writer should have wrote the game. Games and comics are different mediums, and writers for video games have to find ways for players to actually play the game and have to find ways to have a perfect ratio I guess, of cutscenes to gameplay and portion out the cutscenes so gamers, whom are fighting game fans, can actually fight.
The line "I miss the people we were then" kills me so hard every time because its so devastatingly present in real life. Fucking breaks me to think about relationships used to be had a long time ago and how none of those things, those memories will ever be real again. Its gone, it died, the people we were don't exist anymore and we've all moved on in different ways.
0:31 That line hits really hard. Because Clark agrees. Very deep down he wishes he could go back to being the symbol and hero he once was, the man Lois feel in love with, but he won't, because he still believes his way is right, and because he knows he's gone too far to stop now
Found you because someone on tiktok has been uploading your vids. You're making great stuff glad you're community was there to credit you and brought me to you
Sorry for my English, but man your channel is literally aesthetic monument for dc universe. Its like you creating beautiful digital temple for all dc enjoyers to come and find some interesting thoughts about their beloved universe.
The injustice 2 comic is so sad and depressing but it does make a tons of sense and honestly if i have to compare both Injustice 2 comic and its game counterpart I would go with the actual comic because written fantastic by tom Taylor but that being said though the game itself is good and man oh man I am going to miss Kevin conroy as batman so much because and it breaks my heart he's gone and i am going to never hear him voice batman ever again. Oh speaking of injustice we are going to have a continuation of the injustice story with Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy going to the injustice universe and fighting injustice superman his father which could be interesting but at the same time though raises questions for a possible injustice 3 but then again at this point I highly doubt we are going to be getting injustice 3 given the whole discovery merger stuff happened and everything not making sense anymore I don't think we are going to be getting injustice 3 anytime soon in the future however if I am wrong and we do get injustice 3 that would be amazing but until then I am going to go with my headcanon of injustice 2 ending being with batman and supergirl reforming the justice league and rebuilding there world into a better place in my opinion.
Not sure if people are aware but the injustice universe is making a comeback this year. In the recent Dark Crisis comic event they revealed injustice is earth 49 in the new post infinite frontier multiverse. Main comic universe Jon Kent will be visiting the injustice universe in his upcoming comic "Adventures of superman: Jon Kent" written by Tom Taylor, who wrote the injustice comic books.
"There's no true villain in Injustice" Yeah...I won't go that far. WW is clearly a psycho and manipulator from the beginning and Superman while not starting that way, he's now a true villain after killing a kid and treat it as casualty of war
I've always read it the injustice universe as the comics are the main universe games are another one and movies again a different one. They can slip in within or without eachother.
On another note the Masters of the Universe crossover that follows up on Superman's ending is pretty fun And I say that as someone who's never cared about or personally watched MotU
The problem about the Injustice 2 game was to make it a fighting game. Because the whole "people bumping into each other" stuff happens in every Mortal Kombat campaign as well. That's how fighting games work.
Irony is that injustice is about superman becoming batman because his loved ones are taken from him, leaving him alienated from the people he blames for being the problem he must police through terror. And batman opposes him.
To be fair to MOST of the continuity errors, the game came out before the comics, so really the comic writers should’ve worked with the game’s set continuity for the series. However, the game’s writing is really inconsistent in terms of characters and plot and continuity (especially the opening scene like wtf) so let’s just get Tom on that team for the 3rd game.
Every time I hear that convo. I wish in responses to "you knew. Before I even said anything. Batman instead said "I didn't know I would've been The godfather"
Woah! Was that last clip a teaser of a Trauma Man's analysis of one of my favorite death of Superman stories? (If not, its still a classic moment, "I'm speaking for Superman....")
Ok ok so I had an idea. So what if the Arkham games take place in the same universe but a different timeline? The good universe from Injustice 1? What if THAT Is the Arkham universe. Those events take place after Arkham Origins but a few years before Asylum. Not saying this is even a theory or anything, just a thought.
I never found the character of Injustice Superman accurate (or any of these "fallen" supermen) Superman's entire character is to be a "super" moral example of what people can be. But now, with these incarnations I honestly can say I know a whole host of people that would act more super than Superman. If Superman loses that aspect, he's no longer Superman, he's just another clone with Superman's power set.
i didn't like injustice 2, it felt like a convoluted mess and the system of personalization of the fighters were lootboxes, the only cool thing in that game were the DLC with tmnt, hellboy and spawn
To this day I still subscribe to the idea that Injustice 1 should have been loosely queued by Emerald Twilight instead of evil Superman and Injustice 2 Tower of Babel. With a few liberties maybe focus on Kyle as the newest hero on the scene in Injustice 1 fighting people Hal swayed and freeing the justice league members Hal couldn't sway who were imprisoned rejoining the fight against parallax and freeing Superman in the finale because with evil Superman things get too contrived to keep his rampage going. This is someone coming from someone who doesn't dig the Superman is all hope.
I wonder if Injustice 3 will have Superman pulling an Injustice 1 and calling out to another universe to help the Regime. Could be interesting to see Clark enlisting the help of Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate of America.
You are definitely right! For me, the ultimate canon is the comics and the games should be adjusted accordingly (even though the comics came out after the game).
As flawed as injustice 2's story was I enjoyed it and thought it was pretty neat but could've done a bit better. I do hope we get an injustice 3 one day but I'm kinda heartbroken that if they ever do we might not get Kevin Conroy
7:45 I think this portion of what happened at Arkham is supposed to be an account of Bruce telling the story to the court so he probably only accounted for the portions that were necessary in the hearing.
James Gunn said the new DC games will be connected to the movie universe, this worries me, does this mean we won’t get original stories and universes like injustice anymore ?
no it doesn't. They will almost certainly still do stand alone games outside of the continuity. Its just that those games will now have the elseworld label attached to them, same as the batman 2, joker 2 and teen titans go.
I personally like Injustice 2, more than the first, but they really should’ve let this game be the 3rd installment, and have the comic story with Ra’s and Amazo be the 2nd game. R.I.P Kevin. Thank you for making some of my favorite childhood memories
Here me out but If the next injustice game should feature his son taking up the mantle. The only person I could see Bruce having a relationship in this universe is with Harley. So Lucy and Thomas Jr. Could essentially be like the new Batman and Robin. And in the game, Superman could try to manipulate Bruce and Harley, son. Like Thawne did to Nora in the Flash tv show many years ago. Don't know what season it was.
I feel like the Injustice has never fully lived up to its potential The comics, the games, and the movie are in my opinion always a step down to what can be done with the idea
Comics have unfortunately always been secondary canon compared to games and films. If a movie/game and a tie-in comic contradict, its the movie/game that got it right. The Injustice comic had the benefit of building up and adding to something that was already completed. But its my understanding that the development of the Injustice 2 comic and game never communicated with one another, which is stupid but pretty much how it works with these sorts of things

Let's hope that if Netherrealm makes another Injustice, they coordinate their story a bit better than the last time.

My guess is that the Injustice 2 game was more concerned with tying into the previous game rather than the previous comic

Yeah! I saw it. Although Superman is finally free from all the things he has done throughout the games of Injustice and he can see Lois Lane and her unborn son in heaven. The Regime are no more this time.
fucking insane how 2 games not even on a genre known for it's plot can run in circles around the universe WB spend 10 years making in the cinema
4:58 i cannot even elaborate how bullshit this scene was. WE JUST GOT HIM BACK. This death was so unnecessary and just for shock value

The very concept of Injustice Superman as a legacy in the story may seem trite at a glance (anytime someone tries this with any Superman in a story it tends to have mixed results), but it would have been so much more effective than what we had because Injustice Superman no longer contrasts with anything as Batman is shown in the game to share many similarities with the only contrast being how far over the line they're willing to cross. Supergirl, who is supposed to contrast Superman, achieves almost nothing and fails to tip the thematic scales in any meaningful way.
Hell, taking it one step further and not killng Injustice Superman but shelving him and letting his reputation speak for him for most of the plot would have made a really good setup for a final battle between Supergirl and Injustice Superman in the Harley Quinn path. This would have elevated him into a symbol contrasting Supergirl's own based on her decisions and her family legacy, leading into a fight for the soul of her house.
This Superman Cliffhanger is killing me.
I really really need the third game...@_@
But, we don't know which endings will lead to Injustice 3 game.
@@johnsantos507 Probably the one that supports the comics themes of trust.
@@MouldMadeMind Themes of Trust?
@@johnsantos507 you know, the things alluded to in the video?
The one you watched right?
@@MouldMadeMind ?🤨🤷🏿♂️
In defense of the games, I suspect some of the changes came from the development process, it's one thing to have professional 2D artists draw a full book of characters they are familiar with and a good writer that 'understands the voices of the characters' write said book, but... it's entirely another to fully 3D model, rig for animation, add textures and colors, then animate, and voice act, those characters with the same consistency by a game developer team that maybe only half or less of them know these characters as well as the comic team did, all while under far stricter deadlines.
I do think they dropped the ball on the overall story quality they could have done, they could have got to the same emotional beats and meaningful moments with the smaller cast in the games if they wanted to and could have been more careful to tie it back into the comics more effectively, so all points in this video are still very much valid, just saying I can see why they may have had issues and that I understand it.
Not to mention that the game designers need to do all of that while still fitting in fight scenes so the people can play the game. That will also make the story not flow as well.
@@phabiorules this is why I have a problem with this RUclipsr saying that the comic writer should have wrote the game. Games and comics are different mediums, and writers for video games have to find ways for players to actually play the game and have to find ways to have a perfect ratio I guess, of cutscenes to gameplay and portion out the cutscenes so gamers, whom are fighting game fans, can actually fight.
The line "I miss the people we were then" kills me so hard every time because its so devastatingly present in real life.
Fucking breaks me to think about relationships used to be had a long time ago and how none of those things, those memories will ever be real again. Its gone, it died, the people we were don't exist anymore and we've all moved on in different ways.
OOOOOOO loving the recent uploads, dude! makin my week better- im a huge injustice fan too so this a treat
0:31 That line hits really hard. Because Clark agrees. Very deep down he wishes he could go back to being the symbol and hero he once was, the man Lois feel in love with, but he won't, because he still believes his way is right, and because he knows he's gone too far to stop now
Found you because someone on tiktok has been uploading your vids. You're making great stuff glad you're community was there to credit you and brought me to you
I like the idea that Bruce is sort of Lex Luther’s foil in Superman
Keep it up dude! These videos give much needed love to DC and serotonin to me! The Sinestro thing at the end killed me!
Well some of those continuity mistakes would be the fault of the comics as they came out after the game.
Sorry for my English, but man your channel is literally aesthetic monument for dc universe. Its like you creating beautiful digital temple for all dc enjoyers to come and find some interesting thoughts about their beloved universe.
Your intros never fail to amaze me!
There are all these deaths in comics like these, but Harley Quinn never dies. And she uses a giant wooden hammer.
Remember, the game came out first. The comic that came out several years later, so the retcons came in the books.
I'm still so mad at Tim's death
Me too. We lost another members of the Bat family.
The injustice 2 comic is so sad and depressing but it does make a tons of sense and honestly if i have to compare both Injustice 2 comic and its game counterpart I would go with the actual comic because written fantastic by tom Taylor but that being said though the game itself is good and man oh man I am going to miss Kevin conroy as batman so much because and it breaks my heart he's gone and i am going to never hear him voice batman ever again. Oh speaking of injustice we are going to have a continuation of the injustice story with Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy going to the injustice universe and fighting injustice superman his father which could be interesting but at the same time though raises questions for a possible injustice 3 but then again at this point I highly doubt we are going to be getting injustice 3 given the whole discovery merger stuff happened and everything not making sense anymore I don't think we are going to be getting injustice 3 anytime soon in the future however if I am wrong and we do get injustice 3 that would be amazing but until then I am going to go with my headcanon of injustice 2 ending being with batman and supergirl reforming the justice league and rebuilding there world into a better place in my opinion.
Jon Kent Superboy going to crash onto the injustice world
Not sure if people are aware but the injustice universe is making a comeback this year. In the recent Dark Crisis comic event they revealed injustice is earth 49 in the new post infinite frontier multiverse. Main comic universe Jon Kent will be visiting the injustice universe in his upcoming comic "Adventures of superman: Jon Kent" written by Tom Taylor, who wrote the injustice comic books.
Thank you. This was perfectly said.
i think having Barry return to be the flash undermines the whole point of his arc in some way i can’t explain
"There's no true villain in Injustice"
Yeah...I won't go that far. WW is clearly a psycho and manipulator from the beginning and Superman while not starting that way, he's now a true villain after killing a kid and treat it as casualty of war
Does that also happen in the comics?
@@Modernww2fare in the comic he kill Billy in his kid form
I wish you talked about the Damien and Supergirl scenes from the comic it makes the injustice damien so much more likable
the biggest retcon/continuity error for me was the revival of scarecrow when joker states how he killed scarecrow for the fear toxin
I've always read it the injustice universe as the comics are the main universe games are another one and movies again a different one. They can slip in within or without eachother.
Continuity errors. Meh. In the original injustice comic Hal and Kyle were drawn as each other.
I'd love to see you make a video about Grant Morrison's Batman run!
On another note the Masters of the Universe crossover that follows up on Superman's ending is pretty fun
And I say that as someone who's never cared about or personally watched MotU
The problem about the Injustice 2 game was to make it a fighting game. Because the whole "people bumping into each other" stuff happens in every Mortal Kombat campaign as well. That's how fighting games work.
Irony is that injustice is about superman becoming batman because his loved ones are taken from him, leaving him alienated from the people he blames for being the problem he must police through terror. And batman opposes him.
To be fair to MOST of the continuity errors, the game came out before the comics, so really the comic writers should’ve worked with the game’s set continuity for the series. However, the game’s writing is really inconsistent in terms of characters and plot and continuity (especially the opening scene like wtf) so let’s just get Tom on that team for the 3rd game.
Every time I hear that convo. I wish in responses to "you knew. Before I even said anything. Batman instead said "I didn't know I would've been The godfather"
Tim's death still pisses me off
Same here, That still irks me
This is my favorite thing I always love these videos
Using the majority of the DCAU voice actors was probably the greatest choice they ever made.
Woah! Was that last clip a teaser of a Trauma Man's analysis of one of my favorite death of Superman stories?
(If not, its still a classic moment, "I'm speaking for Superman....")
Finally been waiting weeks for you to do this brev
I'm pretty sure the flashback at the beginning of injustice 2 is supposed to be different than when Dick died in injustice 1
I like how you have to at the end and just accepted the truth.
Ok ok so I had an idea. So what if the Arkham games take place in the same universe but a different timeline? The good universe from Injustice 1? What if THAT Is the Arkham universe. Those events take place after Arkham Origins but a few years before Asylum. Not saying this is even a theory or anything, just a thought.
Comic books? In this channel? Hell yeah!!! 😆
sinistro's death was so sad
And for the Superman ending, the comics continue and crossover with Masters of the Universe.
7:39 PFFFFFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💀
Injustice 2 was deeep
Is it either me or Ra's at 7:19 looks like Mads Mikkelsen?
I never found the character of Injustice Superman accurate (or any of these "fallen" supermen)
Superman's entire character is to be a "super" moral example of what people can be. But now, with these incarnations I honestly can say I know a whole host of people that would act more super than Superman.
If Superman loses that aspect, he's no longer Superman, he's just another clone with Superman's power set.
Man DC really hates my boy Tim don't they?
Injustice 3 a batman beyond story would or kingdom com would go hard
i didn't like injustice 2, it felt like a convoluted mess and the system of personalization of the fighters were lootboxes, the only cool thing in that game were the DLC with tmnt, hellboy and spawn
To this day I still subscribe to the idea that Injustice 1 should have been loosely queued by Emerald Twilight instead of evil Superman and Injustice 2 Tower of Babel. With a few liberties maybe focus on Kyle as the newest hero on the scene in Injustice 1 fighting people Hal swayed and freeing the justice league members Hal couldn't sway who were imprisoned rejoining the fight against parallax and freeing Superman in the finale because with evil Superman things get too contrived to keep his rampage going. This is someone coming from someone who doesn't dig the Superman is all hope.
I wonder if Injustice 3 will have Superman pulling an Injustice 1 and calling out to another universe to help the Regime. Could be interesting to see Clark enlisting the help of Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate of America.
You are definitely right!
For me, the ultimate canon is the comics and the games should be adjusted accordingly (even though the comics came out after the game).
As flawed as injustice 2's story was I enjoyed it and thought it was pretty neat but could've done a bit better. I do hope we get an injustice 3 one day but I'm kinda heartbroken that if they ever do we might not get Kevin Conroy
1:30 bro be lookin like Ben 10's grandpa
And in Superman vs The Elite he's voice by Ben's grandpa too
I would love see video on the Injustice 3 comics where it crosses over He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
7:45 I think this portion of what happened at Arkham is supposed to be an account of Bruce telling the story to the court so he probably only accounted for the portions that were necessary in the hearing.
James Gunn said the new DC games will be connected to the movie universe, this worries me, does this mean we won’t get original stories and universes like injustice anymore ?
no it doesn't. They will almost certainly still do stand alone games outside of the continuity. Its just that those games will now have the elseworld label attached to them, same as the batman 2, joker 2 and teen titans go.
Odd comment, but I DO like GL's Parallax retcon, the original Emerald Twilight story was not exactly...good. Silver lining, it gave us Kyle.
I personally like Injustice 2, more than the first, but they really should’ve let this game be the 3rd installment, and have the comic story with Ra’s and Amazo be the 2nd game.
R.I.P Kevin. Thank you for making some of my favorite childhood memories
Here me out but If the next injustice game should feature his son taking up the mantle. The only person I could see Bruce having a relationship in this universe is with Harley. So Lucy and Thomas Jr. Could essentially be like the new Batman and Robin. And in the game, Superman could try to manipulate Bruce and Harley, son. Like Thawne did to Nora in the Flash tv show many years ago. Don't know what season it was.
I miss the people we were then.
Me too, but I miss it MORE!!!(PUNCH)
10:46 -10:47
I feel like the Injustice has never fully lived up to its potential
The comics, the games, and the movie are in my opinion always a step down to what can be done with the idea
Your videos are awesome
I hate how they killed Tim, and didn’t really show Conner's reaction to it.
yes
When are we going to see a video on the New 52 Superman?
Comics have unfortunately always been secondary canon compared to games and films. If a movie/game and a tie-in comic contradict, its the movie/game that got it right. The Injustice comic had the benefit of building up and adding to something that was already completed. But its my understanding that the development of the Injustice 2 comic and game never communicated with one another, which is stupid but pretty much how it works with these sorts of things
ok ik that death is everywhere in injustice but they fucking killed ace the bat dog like wtf
Wait. Why does Jonathan Kent look like Ben's grampa?
6:24 holy shit I'm crying
