This is mostly a lore and casual talk thread but i wanted to talk about the story of Injustice 2 and how the characters were represented and how it can be potentially harmful for WB/DC.
What NRS did is that they made characters like Superman and Wonder Woman completely undesirable. In a vacuum that could be ok but when you think about DC as a whole, this might be such a bad idea. A game like Injustice 2 should have made me feel hyped and excited to go watch something like the Wonder Woman movie. What it does is exactly the opposite, it made me and countless other hate the character. This also applies to Superman.
Now when i did go to watch the movie, i was like " Wow... This character is truly awesome. Why did NRS fuck her over this hard in Injustice 2 ?! ". I ended up coming out of the movie feeling down and more dissapointed in the world of Injustice 2 than i already was. Properties like the movies and games should compliment one another, i am not saying it has to be a tie in but they should still keep the souls of these characters intact.
I remember couple of years ago, i was a Marvel guy. Then i watched the Dark Knight movie and then couple of months later played the first Batman Arkham Asylm game and i was hooked. It was the two punch combination that made me fall in love with Batman as a character which ended up making me love the DC universe as a whole. Now at this current age Superman and Flash are my two favorites with WW being the 4th (Spiderman is 3rd) but i truly feel dissapointed in their treatment.
Injustice 2 is the biggest exposure in modern gaming that these DC characters (Except Batman) ever had and it does nothing to help build a fanbase to these characters. I can't help but imagine countless people who came from seeing WW and got Injustice hoping to play her, only to lose any sort of newfound love they had for the character. I remember games like Spiderman 1 and 2 on PS1 and how they made me love Spiderman. The Marvel vs Capcom games and how much they made me like the X-men.
