SDCC '16:  New INJUSTICE 2 Characters Are BLUE BEETLE And Returning WONDER WOMAN

Tom Taylor returns to the Injustice franchise as the NetherRealm SDCC panel reveals he worked on the game and will be writing the Injustice 2 comic. Oh..and some guy named Blue Beetle is making his debut.

It would be an understatement to say WB Games and NetherRealm struck gold with the first Injustice: Gods Among Us game.  At Injustice 2's SDCC panel, NetherRealm's Ed Boon cited a desire to work on something a little less brutal than Mortal Kombat as the genesis of the entire project, "At some point we really wanted to do a fighting game that didn't involve cutting people's heads off and doing weird things to them."  

For the sequel, the development team took the game in a different direction, introducing upgradeable armor and gear that will affect the abilities and stats of your selected character.  While disusing these features, it was also revealed that Wonder Woman would be returning along with the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle. Check out the first look at Beetle'  armor and Wonder Woman's redesign below.

For more hints as to who's next in line to join the roster, head over to our sister site Gamefragger.com.  Did someone say Red Hood...?

I wish it was Ted Kord's version instead. Then for his final power move he could have sent in the Bug to use as the finisher.

@BlackIceJoe - I wouldn't be surprised My Friend if they had Dan Garrett and Ted Kord. For a moment it looks like Dan Garret on one of the finishing moves but I could be mistaken.

Also, Susan Eisenberg is back as Wonder Woman again.
She's been a mainstay for the character since the JL animated series.

Wonder Woman is a complete bad-ass in this trailer. I love the one liners.

Ed Boon also teased Red Hood and Suicide Squad members are in the game. And NOT as NPCs
