'Injustice 2' Concept Art Reveals Scrapped Characters Including Constantine, Penguin, and More

NetherRealm Studios' Injustice 2 released over a year ago, and while buzz for the fighting game has dwindled, a fresh new batch of concept art it has surfaced: revealing characters that never made it into the final product.

The Demon and Constantine would have been 100,000 times better than Sub-Zero, Raiden and TMNT because they're actual characters in the DC universe.

Penguin would have been interesting but we already have more than enough Batman characters in the game. Metallo, Silver Swan or Captain Boomerang would have been nice to see.

blackblades2060d ago

I kinda agree with the 1st half and I agree in the end half. No need for mk characters when they have there own game and killer frost and black lightning would've been better instead of a skin. Then they could've had other character as skins with there moves like static shock. Also I do think tmnt and hellboy was cool.

Anyways yeah there are enough batman related characters they need to span the roster out. I have to blame WB for it, they were the ones that made them censored some of the female characters and tone the sexyness down. So they probably had them put more batman characters in because they love putting out batman animated movies and stuff.

Some cool concept art. Hopefully Constantine or krypto make it into MK..

Paradigmthefallen2060d ago

Pretty clear Bluebird became Red Hood at some point early in development. Constantine would've been a marvelous payoff given his vanishing act in the comics - same for Detective Chimp. I can kind of understand why Penguin didn't end up on the list though, given he's not exactly durable.

Yi-Long2060d ago

I don't mind Penguin missing as a character, but to be fair, they could have turned him into a fun weapon/gimmick based character, with exploding bird attacks, ravaging penguins, perhaps an ostrich flying in, some egg-tossing, etc etc.

Most fighting games have 1-2 characters who are a bit 'out there', in terms of wackiness. Penguin could have been used as such a character.

I'm more concerned about the censorship though. That always remains a negative.

Paradigmthefallen2059d ago

I'm not really seeing any censorship here? Just a shift in priorities (more guest characters over DC mainstays)?

joedom2059d ago

Constantine would've been so cool to play as :(

ghostrider322059d ago

Penguin can't even fight. Constantine definitely should have been on the game instead of Sub-Zero overrated ass.

Great month, looking forward to Hot Wheels, I really love some good old arcade racing

darthv72613d ago

Heck yeah... love me some hot wheels

CobraKai613d ago

It’s fantastic. I paid full price and it’s worth it

LG_Fox_Brazil613d ago

Of course, these subscriptions cost money, you know?

MrVux000613d ago

Something inherently wrong with that?

Crows90612d ago (Edited 612d ago )

Yeah. Ps plus gives you value for your money. Unlike a different subscription that just takes your money. Hence why Sony where the first at every turn to give what players want or appear to be interested in. Free monthly games...check. subscription service with games ...check. And as always Microsoft goes in to do the same but constantly fails at giving good value. Games with gold has sucked the majority of it's existence. Gamepass is more expensive than ps plus extra and it doesn't give you online or monthly games. Ultimate is the most expensive service and yet it has less high rated games on its service than ps extra.

So yes. We should always judge these services for the value they give.

Mobis-New-Nest613d ago

Hopefully they have God of War Ragnarok, Modern Warfare 2 Remake and Last of Us Remake for December 2022. This selection is down right depressing 😞

FinalFantasyFanatic613d ago

Yeah, nah, they're not going to give us Ragnarok when it's practically just come out, they know they can still make alot of money off that one for another 6 or so months, probably the same with the Last of Us Remake.

Crows90612d ago (Edited 612d ago )

Oh so you want all of the games for pennies. You think that would help the devs much? Gaming isn't a charity business.

another good line-up. Hot Wheels looks interesting. Never played it.
Still hooked in Need for Speed Heat (this month's PS Plus free game)

darthv72613d ago

This just reminded me to nab NFS before it was yanked. Thanks for that.

lucian229613d ago

Looks like another good month. Really was happy with gran blue fantasy last in the current month.

MIDGETonSTILTS17613d ago

I’m so glad I didn’t buy this on sale, albeit now I have to get the dlc

CobraKai613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

I didn’t know Superhot was a non-vr game too.

Mr Logic613d ago

For those that read this, keep in mind that Superhot was a flat game that was later made into VR. It wasn't a VR game that was ported for more sales. Both are worth playing as the levels and scenarios are different in both versions.

The article states Tekken 7 might be the best fighter currently available on Xbox, but leaves out important information that it never takes advantage of the Xbox hardware. It never got any kind of patch/boost/upgrade for the more powerful Xbox consoles, meaning it still runs at 720p I believe, resulting in a very blurry look.

Truly wish more devs would respect their products and customers enough to address issues such as these.
