They're like the comic book version of alt-right internet trolls they probably yell "Snowflake" all the time. Like a Green Lantern, but powered by SO MUCH RAGE their blood literally boils. And not to belabor the point, but Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing is in this game! You’ve got your big-name favorites, of course (Batman figures most prominently, alongside a huge rogues gallery that includes the Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn.) But you’ve also got a bunch of lesser-known weirdos like Atrocitus, an alien with a magic cat, and Doctor Fate, a dimension-hopping sorcerer with a magic helmet. Injustice 2 includes a total of 28 playable characters, and most of them get at least a few big moments to shine. Supergirl, who serves as the closest thing Injustice 2 has to a female lead.įortunately, Wonder Woman is the exception to the rule.

In this universe, she’s the despotic Superman’s ex-lover, and his most devoted lieutenant-but her only real purpose in this game is to mislead Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Injustice 2 is saddled with the Wonder Woman baggage from the first game. Scott: I’m glad you brought up Wonder Woman, because she’s probably the most ill-treated character in the entire game. Which is a video game version of smashing together every single toy you can find and shouting shit like the Green Lantern's Oath.

Injustice 2 stumbles plenty-it's, frankly, lousy that this game's Wonder Woman is a tyranny-prone despot in light of the excellent, aspirational character in theaters right now-but Injustice 2 is always aware of what it is.

Of course, its plot is not one I'd want to watch in a movie theater, but I'm after very different things when I'm seeing a movie or playing a fighting game. " Injustice 2 surprised the hell out of me by being much better than the original while also not being any less ridiculous."
