INJUSTICE 2: First Black Manta Gameplay Revealed And It's Both Action-Packed And Awesome

A new gameplay trailer for Injustice 2 has been released which offers our best look yet at Black Manta in action. Will the movie be able to do the villain justice? It'll need to do a lot to top this game!

It was last week we learned that Black Manta is coming to Injustice 2 and now a new video has been released from the game's second "Fighter Pack" featuring the fan-favourite villain in action ahead of his big screen debut in Aquaman next year. As you can see, he's unleashing a wide range of moves on the King of Atlantis and looks set to be a force to be reckoned with in the critically acclaimed sequel.

His arsenal appears to include knife attacks, water cannons, explosives, and his signature harpoon gun so he'll no doubt be able to hold his own against most of the heroes and villains in the game. We even see his Super Move which sees Black Manta fry Arthur Curry with some deadly looking optic blasts! 

 
It looks like Injustice 2 is going to follow the New 52 comic books as we hear Aquaman tell Black Manta that Atlantis is "off limits," to which the villain responds, "So was my father." In the source material, a young Arthur Curry killed the villain's father in a fit of rage. What do you think of this new trailer?

As a friend once said to me "F*cking hell man." That was bad ass.

I heard rumors about some Watchmen characters in the next pack?
But i think it was only...wishful thinking... :P

@Doomsday8888 - I think one of the silhouettes in the character select screen looks a bit like rorschach. It's definitely in the realm (ha) of possibility.

@MarsivNayr - I haven't played the game, but Rorschach's silhouette could also be the question.

@The72nd - that too. But they do love their special guest characters for dlc.

I wish they'd used the sound effect from young justice for his lasers

Injustice 2 is fighting game of the year for me personally. I loved every minute of it from Story, Multiverse mode, Gear system and online. Just an overall great game with a wide range of great characters. Can't wait for Black Manta to come out, going to main him and grind for all his gear.

@JohnGotDaJuice - Tekken and Injustice are neck and neck for me this year. While Tekken is slightly the better fighter, injustice is the better everything else.

@MarsivNayr - Yeah i have not played the new Tekken but a lot of people are saying the combat system is better than injustice 2.

@JohnGotDaJuice - I haven't played Tekken for years but 7 hooked me in a big bad way.

Definitely would be laughing my ass off if they brought that helmet to the big screen

Black Manta looks perfect. PERFECT. Hope they stick to this when he shows up in the DCEU.

I am pretty pumped about this DLC. I'm interested to see what Hellboy is about too. Couldn't be more disappointed with Raiden though. Just pure laziness throwing in another MK character

While I'd like him to LOOK like he does in young justice, THIS is how he should fight in the 2018 movie !!!

Awesome. But what happens when this happens?

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I'm curious about this as well. I wonder if they'll replace him with Orm or something.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/29/2017, 6:30 PM
@ThouBear8 - Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Just change the character model.

ThouBear8 - 8/29/2017, 6:53 PM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - In the other levels, like Brainiac's ship & Superman's red sun cell, they bothered to remove the non playable character when you play as Brainiac or Superman, respectively. Obviously that wouldn't really work here tho. I expect they will put Orm or somebody else instead of him. Either that or they'll just leave him in, but honestly I doubt that.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/29/2017, 8:27 PM
@ThouBear8 - Yeah that's really cool how they did that. They also removed Martian Manhunter form the watchtower map in the first game when he was DLC
