The gameplay footage that was included in the teaser trailer wasn't too impressive, but the screenshots that were released today look amazing!

Let's face it Batman has owned more than once to almost every DC character even Supes

Hopfully we will get to see some character that you wouldn't normaly see in these types of games

Meh.
This leaves me with a resounding feeling of meh.

I got bored with MK/DC so quick. Trying to make them dark/vicious/overly violent just takes away from the characters as we know them.

Definitely picking this up it's too far away too really judge the graphics of it. I'm assuming future trailers will look better

Looks really good. PatientZero mentioned Superman...I don't see him... Oh was he mistaking the guy in blue and red armor with the Superman fetish as the real Superman?

I wonder how they balance the different strength levels of the characters. It'd be neat if you did a Superman/Harley fight and on the first punch by Superman, Harley just explodes into a pile of red goo.

It kinda reminds me of Jim lee comics and mk vs dc combined.

@SotoJuiceMan - this has been done before in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. It was so obvious that many of the DC characters were more powerful that their MK counterparts (and reversal). They leveled the playing field by explaining in the story-mode that magic was involved and that Superman's powers were being shared by everyone. I understand that the same writers who scribed MK vs DCU will be contributing to this new game, so they should be able to figure something out.

@BANNER78, are you kidding? Look at what has come out that has been good in the past five years: Marvel vs Capcom 3, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Marvel Pinball, Captain America: Super Soldier, Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, and soon (which I have no doubt will be awesome) The Amazing Spider-Man.

What has DC come up with in the past five years? Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Gotham Imposters...and that's it, three games in past three years as opposed to Marvel's five/soon to be six.

I meant five, not three :D

Why does Batman have the ability to kick Solomon Grundy high up into and through a building?

This looks like crap. Why was Mortal Kombat vs DC so toned down, but this game has Supes punching someone into outer-space and then punching him back down to earth?


WTF??

I love DC and fighting games (especially Mortal Kombat)...I'll get it. Looks neat.

That's a pretty awesome idea. If the gameplay is anything like MK vs DC, then I'll be a sad panda. I wish Marvel would do this. I love the MvC series, but a game with like 50 Marvel characters to choose from would be the shit.

THE FOLLOWINGS IS FROM www.JoyStiq.com:

Injustice's character roster is split into two categories: "Power" characters like Superman and Wonder Woman, and "Gadget" characters like the Batman and (presumably) Harley Quinn. Depending on a character's class, they'll be able to interact with the environment in different ways. Batman may be able to slam Wonder Woman's head into a parked car, for instance, while Wonder Woman is able to slam a parked car into Batman's head.

Environmental hazards are set to play a major role in the game, adding a bonus level of strategy to each character match-up, according to this video interview with NetherRealm's Ed Boon: "You're really going to want to care where you are, in which background, with which character."

Superman looks shitty. But, this proves the comics armor would look better with a yellow belt.

Not a big fan of fighting games

I hate superhero fighting games. Superman would beat the crap out of everyone in the game. Stupid concept.
