E3 2016: Watch The First Gameplay Footage Of ‘Injustice 2’ In Action

Fresh off the announcement and reveal trailer for Injustice 2, WB Games and NetherRealm Studios aren’t going to make us wait long before we see some of the new characters in action thanks to the release of the first game play footage for the upcoming fighting game.

While the spotlight may be shining on newcomers such as Supergirl, Gorilla Grodd and Atrocitus, the returning cast is showing that they shouldn’t be forgotten about. Aside from even more dynamic looking stage hazards for the heroes and villains to fight through, new customization costumes won’t be the only way the cast will keep us on our toes. Batman reminds us why he’s such a badass thanks to his new finisher using his Batwing, while Superman uses his strength and speed to bounce his opponents around with crushing blows high in the clouds. Or… You could just be like Aquaman and have a giant whale eat your enemies.

Even still, the new characters steal the show. There’s a certain kind of excitement that comes from seeing Supergirl switch from her public identity to her superhero persona in the blink of an eye. Grodd displays his brute strength while he manhandles anyone who stands in front of him, which contrasts Atrocitus, who puts his Red Lantern abilities to good use with a combination of vicious constructs and his overwhelming rage. In a blink and you’ll miss it shot, Black Manta is shown as being part of the cast as well, showing everyone who the real king of the sea is.

Watch the trailer below and get excited with the rest of us. Who else do you expect to see make the roster when the game releases in 2017?
