Injustice: Gods Among Us appears to be getting another character from the Batman franchise in its ranks as downloadable content. Various images and even a video show Batgirl briefly appearing on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
I did like that bit in the Lord of the Rings movies when they finally stopped walking about and had a big fight. The Battle of the Hornburg will finally come to The Lord of the Rings Online as "the most massive conflict yet" with the 'Helm's Deep' expansion, announced today by publisher Warner Bros. It's due to hit the free-to-play MMORPG this fall.
Injustice: Gods Among Us is pretty great. But, the Wii U version is missing a feature found in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 counterparts. Namely, the iOS game is meant to unlock content in the main game, but that feature is curiously missing in the Wii U version.
While oodles of older series have received reboots, revivals, re-releases or spirtual successors lately, we can't even pay to download the poor old No One Lives Forever games. What could put Monolith's delightfully daft spy-fi shooter series out of action for so long? Well, it seems the question of who exactly owns the rights is something you'd need a super-secret agent to investigate.
The closer we get to the release of Injustice: Gods Among Us, the more obscure its character inclusions are getting. Now that the game is just over a week away, revelations are hitting the deep cuts of DC canon, with the reveal of the supervillains Killer Frost and Ares.

Yes, yes, you may be sick of games in the MOBA gold rush chasing the success of Dota 2 and League of Legends, but if I were to say you could play as Batman in one, wouldn't part of you be a little bit excited beneath the bewilderment? Well, you'll be able to in Infinite Crisis, a free-to-play Dote 'em up which draws characters from across the DC Comics Multiverse.
It seems everyone has a pocket telephone in their pocket nowadays, and many even play video games on them. To gain better footing in that mobile world, as well the hip free-to-play, social, and browser markets, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is opening a new studio handling all that jazz.
Alternate skins are old hat for video game pre-order bonuses, but being based on the long legacy of DC Comics gives Injustice: Gods Among Us a little more freedom to play with its history. "Red Son" is one of the most well-regarded alternate-universe stories in recent DC history, and a new developer diary features NetherRealm talking about turning that into a pre-order bonus.
The roster for Injustice: Gods Among Us just keeps getting bigger. Now, Warner Bros. has unveiled Sinestro and Hawkgirl as playable characters in NetherRealm Studios' upcoming beat 'em up next month.
The superhero fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us finally will be battling its way to consoles on April 16, publisher Warner Bros. has announced. It has also revealed a new special edition of the game with a arcade-style controller for fighting game aficionados who have an extra $150 lying around.
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.
Warner Bros has unveiled another pugilist from fight 'em up Injustice: Gods Among Us's lineup, confirming the stabby-shooty Deathstroke for its DC Comics brawl-o-rama. "Who's Deathstroke?" you may ask. Why, he's the mercenary Deadpool ripped off, only less interesting than Marvel's character turned out to be.
Note: Portions of this review have been republished from our review of Batman: Arkham City played on Xbox 360.
It's not every day that a game can see a revision that trumps the "Game of the Year Edition." But Arkham City manages to do exactly that with the Wii U-exclusive "Armored Edition." Not only does it include all the content featured in the definitive GOTY collection, it adds a few new features that take advantage of the Wii U GamePad. These additions do a terrific job of making you feel that much more like the Batman--although the port's technical shortcomings hinder the experience quite a bit.
NetherRealm and Warner Bros were smart to get all of the obvious DC superheroes appearing in Injustice: Gods Among Us out of the way first. No one would be surprised when they revealed that Batman or Wonder Woman would be in the game. So now the character revelation roll-out can rely on slightly more surprising entries, like today's announcement of Green Arrow.
If you like the idea of Wonder Woman having the upper hand in a battle with Batman, then the figurine included in the Collector's Edition of Injustice: Gods Among Us should interest you. But be prepared to drop a hefty $100 for the package.
"Lemme know when Darkseid's in. And J'onn J'onnz - crying shame they only put 6 of the 7 original ..."
