Yeah Im not trilled about the turtles either. But my kids are super excited. I believe that is the target audience NR is shooting for. I would have preferred Deadman or Azrael though. But there are plenty of characters in the game for non turtle fans.
see, i think those would be good characters for Injustice, but they don’t feel like DLC Characters. You can make relative unknowns in the main roster sure, but the DLC needs to be more generally known in order to sell them individually. Otherwise, no one buys them.
Not to mention, they are gonna keep doing guest characters because, despite the people who complain on social media, they sell the most out of any characters they do. Across every game they have developed they see this trend. And they see that as the true determining factor as to what people want. On twitter, a minority opinion can be very loud, and seam larger than it is. That dosen’t happen in sales figures.

I think the Turtles are cool. I don’t think that kids is what they are going for with that. Remember, (like someone stated earlier) that TMNT was originally a comic book series, and they were a bit more mature, as well as darker and gritter than the TMNT we know now. I think it’s more Comic book related than anything. Plus, I don’t believe Spawn would have made the same “Wow” factor than the Turtles.
The closest thing to the comics that was mainstream was the 2003 TMNT Cartoon show. It followed the comics pretty closely, had slightly toned down violence (to be acceptable for children) but still had some of the dark tones and grit.

Now that we know all of the content for The Ultimate Edition, I decided to do for Injustice 2 what I did for MvCI, conceptualize additional content to be added to the game! I know this is way more than NetherRealm would probably ever do, but I like to let my imagination run wild.
First off, an expansion I like to call, Injustice 2: Book 2. It would come with a new story mode (shorter than the original), and 18 additional characters. The plot would be about the dead coming back to life en mass due to a new cosmic threat. The set includes returning veterans, Shazam, Raven, Batgirl, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Lex Luthor, Lobo, Deathstroke, and Killer Frost. As well as newcomers John Constantine, Beast Boy, Static, Deadman (■■■■ Grayson), Etrigan the Demon, Dr. Poison, Circe, Vandal Savage, and the new big bad Black Hand. Also features the return of Injustice 1’s Zombie Mode.
Next up, we have Season 2 of “DLC” fighters. A new set of 9 characters (No MK Characters). Fighter Pack 4 gives you Star Sapphire, King Shark, and Amazo. Fighter Pack 5 grants you Plastic Man, Booster Gold, and Despero. Finally, Fighter pack 6 gives you Todd MacFarlane’s Spawn, Valiant Comics’ X-O Manowar, and Akira Toriyama’s Son Goku (we segregated the guest characters into their own pack at the request of the community). Also, Pre-Order to get Rorschach from Alan Moore’s Watchmen at no additional cost!
Lastly, a new batch of premier skins for both old and new characters alike. Azreal for Robin, Linda Strauss for Dr. Fate, Captain Atom for Firestorm, Ocean Master for Aquaman, Vigilante for Deadshot, Alan Scott for Green Lantern, Ma’alefa’ak for Martian Manhunter, Merlyn for Green Arrow, and Lucifer Morningstar for John Constantine.
What do you guys think?
Should have known that they would do some “Triborg” type of thing with one of the characters.
You’d be very surprised how dark the early turtles were.
Like here where the turtles met Hitler and tricked him into shooting himself.

But this was over 30 years ago, and that is not how they were presented in the FP3 trailer.
For the most part, they’ve kept the Turtle’s personalities intact for 30 years. Only difference was they knew when to take it serious. But yeah, they were as goofy as ever back then too.

I think we are going to have a season 2 for I2. TMNT are probably going to be released in february. That is only 9 months since the game launched.
Lol, when kids load the game for teenage mutant turtles and they clash with Black Canary and she says
“ I’m gonna stick my fist up your…”
‘Ma’am, this shell’s spoken for!’
I will say I feel they got the most tolerable turtle faces down. I recall one film advert that had disgruntled faces or something they looked really haggard
I certainly hope they could continue supporting and have a season 2 of dlc.
I know this is far fetched but could it be possible turtle gameplay/switching is I a test for the potential beast boy mechanic/switching that triborg introduced?
It’s such a great game to play
Yeah, and while we’re at it how about we throw out all of those Super Friends chatacters because we don’t need all this kiddy cra…oh wait. 
Personally I think they are an odd choice, but I fail to see how adding comic book characters to a comic book character game is weak simply because they made Superman a jerk.

Ok. I dabble in design. Here is how I have pictured Beast Boy in Injustice 2. First off, his design. I always thought he should look similar to how he did in young justice (always partially transformed into a monkey) only more mature, and muscular. The Titans in this game are no longer Teens, so he would have grown up a bit. Greg Cipes could even still do the voice, playing it closer to Kevin from Ben 10, to fit the age better. I always thought he would switch between animals in the middle of combat, rather than as a character trait. Each special move would have him be a different animal. Charging as an elephant, divebombing as an Eagle, porcupine projectile, his dash could be a cheetah run. I think he should be done this way, because just having him be an animal and switch via Character trait would be limiting what you could do with him, and it would throw in hitbox problems (see Amaterasu in UMvC3).
Interesting- moves in- game rather than switching out characters could be easier to implement, and I’m no animator I only draw-
But how talented are the game animators and are they up to executing I did think of atrocious super move when I heard rumors of beast boy, they literally have bull, feline dinosaur and gorilla silhouettes to play around with transparencies as well. ( see vixen win animation with paws super- imposed over hands) He could have the see-thru monkey/ elephant/ eagle auras placed over his human frame and either have them as abilities or gear-associated like sub-zero ice penguin/ snowman/ etc
-
elephant ability ( adds armour to beast boy similar to Wonder Woman/ atrocious/ hell boy so they can advance with little to no damage)
-
eagle ability (adds a ground pound/ dive kick move) similar to Starfire star slam or flash ground pound dash or Wonder Woman upward/ downward diagonal dash
-
monkey ability (adds a double or extended air jump similar to batman/ swamp thing)
-
Bull/ dinosaur ability ( the aforementioned atrocitous charge or a running charge and swipe like catwoman or cheetah, but with dinosaur or bull/ tiger transparencies)
The reason I chose those abilities are because they seem to be the chosen ones in the animated series I’ve seen him
you know, I kinda wished that Jim Lee had stepped in to Re-Design Hellboy and the TMNT too. I just think it would have been cool.
I think TMNT is a pretty inspired choice for this game. No one expected it - which is pretty amazing in this day and age. I think I the characters are interesting, they belong in a fighting game and they look like they might be a lot of fun. I’m anxious to see what NRS does with them.
I’m not super excited by Atom or Enchantress but I will take them. I’m so sick of everyone complaining that I would take just about anything.

I wasn’t expecting it for this pack. But I came up with the idea before any DLC was announced. I’m not saying I’m a genius or anything [If anything it proves how unoriginal the idea was ;)], but I’m really stoked about it none the less.
People randomly saying stuff is not the same as thinking it is going to be in the game.

Ok. That just wasn’t called for. I understand that I didn’t do anything special. But, honestly, you just shouldn’t have said anything at all.
And for the record, I thought we would get them eventually, I just thought Spawn had a higher likelyhood as far as guest characters are concerned. I thought that if we got them at all, it wouldn’t be until a second batch of content (Year 2, Season 2, etc.)
They sure got me- I was thinking what some guy on youtube had said, something Rorschach and Constantine.
I knew there’d be a female but wasn’t sure if June moon or something like mileena or Sindel would be a premier skin for something lol
Anyway I thought atom was a bonus wonder why he was shown so early
