Injustice: Gods Among Us

Injustice: Gods Among Us Welcomes Cyborg and Nightwing to its Ranks
Written Thursday, July 12, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

So far, we've seen Batman, Superman, The Flash, Solomon Grundy, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman flexing their superhero muscle in Injustice: Gods Among Us, but original Justice League member Cyborg and Dick Grayson's non-Robin alter-ego Nightwing, will also be joining the cast.

Spotted during a NetherRealm stage demo, the two new combatants each have their own skills, such as Nightwing's weapons, including his trademark staff that can be split in two, changing his stance and moves. Cyborg meanwhile, favours close range hand-to-hand strikes, as well as lasers, energy blasts and missiles.

Both characters were captured by Gamespot [thanks, Leland] in images from the stage below, and look suitably chunky in keeping with the game's art style, that favours armoured costumes with distinctive pieces rather than classic superhero spandex. Hopefully, we'll have an official reveal of the two fighters soon, with proper screenshots.

Injustice: Gods Among Us is out in 2013.

Nightwing doesn't look right to me. I hope it's just this picture, because I'm a big fan of the character.

Don't like the crew cut Nightwing has, hopefully that's just the camera angle playing tricks and he has a different hairstyle lol. Game does look sexy though will probably get this.

Cyborg could be an interesting Hybrid character, with both Tech and power.

I can't wait to spend some quality time with Solomon Grundy. I saw some gameplay of his throw combos and it reminded me of King from early Tekken games back in the ol' Days ..and I used to fuck a fool up real nice with King too.

that nightwing looks horrible. this game looks incredible but i feel they've gone a little overboard on some aspects. some of the supers are ridiculous. i know they're super heroes and all, but the super used by the flash is just silly.

This looks like its going to be a serious affair like MK9. None of that long haired angst teenager shit. If it plays as good as MK9 its going to be a winner.

Only problem with themed fighting games is we have to read 6 months worth of comments of people reaching into the depths of obscurity, demanding characters.

"Trademark staff that splits in two"...? A staff is Tim Drake's trademark weapon, Nightwing uses Escrima Sticks.

I think the likes of Doomsday, Grodd and Superboy Prime would be right at home in a game like this. If they're going for the larger-than-life, God-like feel, then I think Nightwing is a little out of place considering the fact he's pretty much everybody's best mate and surprisingly down-to-earth.

@21 Doomsday would be a great addition, but I disagree about Superboy Prime.

I'm really hoping for Bane. One of my favorite comic characters. Not to mention you could go around breaking everyone's back as a finisher. It'd be great!

I wouldn't be surprised if Deathstroke made it. Given the recent popularity of Deadpool, his Marvel counterpart, it'd be odd not to include him. Not to mention I think he was in the MK vs DC game?
