Injustice roster adds Bane, Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor and Bane have been added to the Injustice: Gods Among Us character roster, bringing two of the most iconic nemeses that Superman and Batman have to offer.

We already know that Injustice: Gods Among Us includes comic book royalty like Superman and Batman, but a superhero without his nemesis is just a jerk beating the crap out of poor street thugs. If the game includes B-level characters like Deathstroke, of course it has to feature Lex Luthor and Bane as well.

A scanned issue of @Gamer revealed the pair, and NetherRealm head Ed Boon confirmed it with a tweet. Bane is more styled after his comic book persona than the recent Dark Knight Rises incarnation, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who watched the movie. Lex, meanwhile, sports his trademark Warsuit, because without a billion dollars in electronics he's just a rich weakling whose fights against superhumans would go something like this.

        It's more in line with his re-design for DC's New 52 relaunch.

        Which is funny because many Marvel characters are actually copies of DC characters. Deathstroke immediately comes to mind as he's been called a poor copy of Deadpool. The reality, though, is that Deathstroke was first introduced (as Terminator) in the December 1980, whereas Deadpool's first appearance was in February 1991.

        I chalk my fondness for Marvel characters up to the fact that Marvel featured wittier writing during my formative years, where I saw DC comics as pretty bland. Now, though, thanks to the efforts of Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, etc, DC regularly publish titles with more depth that I find appealing, especially compared to Marvel's insistence that glossy art is what's important.

        And that is like, yer opinion man.

        To me it is the exact opposite. Most Marvel characters are like... "I'm this guy but dressed like this guy!" or "I'm throwaway mutant kid number 4447!". The characters just don't excite me.
