Injustice: Gods Among Us Will be Getting Lobo Next Week

Richard Walker

Interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter Lobo will be heading to Injustice: Gods Among Us next week as the first dose of character DLC, bringing his cigar-chomping biker attitude to the fight.

You can see Lobo in action in the latest gameplay trailer, in which he beats the crap out of Batman, who's wearing a Flashpoint outfit we haven't seen in the game before. Perhaps it's a new skin you get with the Season Pass. Perhaps.

Check out the gameplay video below, then lookout for Lobo on May 7th. He'll presumably be available with the Injustice: Gods Among Us Season Pass, which you can get for 1200 MSP. It'll add four new characters and some skins.

  • Now bring me booster gold !!
  • I'd assume Flashpoint Batman is going to be free, just like certain MK9 skins were. Folks who don't get the characters get the compatibility packs (to play against DLC characters online) and those come with a couple skins. In MK it was a kind of bonus to get people to get the compatibility packs, since for some reason they didn't make them required for online play; here, they've said they're going to be required, but I believe Boon has gone on record saying they're still including free skins with them.
  • @2 Does that mean if we want all of the skins we will have to download both the Lobo DLC and the compatibility pack? Either way I'm looking forward to a new fighter! Bring on Blue Beetle next!
  • @#1 forget booster gold he sucks.. we need cooler fighters like Swamp Thing, Starfire, Static Shock, or Beast Boy..
  • Bring on aqualad!
  • @2 In an interview with Kotaku I believe Ed Boon said that they had a way of uploading compatibility packs without any need for a download. Similar to how Halo 4 can do weapon tweaks without requiring a system update.
  • The other DLC characters have been rumored to be Zod, Batgirl and Skorpion from MK9. The forums have all the news on it. Anyways, after checking Lobo's gameplay trailer, he looks like a heavyset character like Bane or Doomsday. I would rather him be a more agile Power User like Black Adam or Shazam though. I'll buy him but I'm not that excited for him anymore.
  • Zod should just be an alternate costume for Superman. Batgirl is ok, but how much different can she be as a fighter? Similar to Batman and Catwoman. Zod, Lobo, and Skorpion (especially Skorpion) are 3 wasted slots. They should have had someone like Swamp Thing, Metamorpho, Dr. Fate, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, or Captain Atom. Boring DLC characters.
  • #4 Starfire and Beast Boy are dead in the story they won't be playable to stay true to the story
  • wish they would do swamp thing and firestorm
  • Whatever happened to unlockable characters. Changes in the times I guess.
  • Hoping for Clayface. Anybody think there will be a special guest character from a different license on this game?
  • I would have liked penguin and riddler to be playable...
  • Scorpion? Really? Why turn this into a MkvsDC...he doesnt belong here.
  • Would love to see Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Black Manta, Parasite, Prometheus, Atrocitus
  • haha bats got flipped the blurry bird.
  • Hell yh!!
  • @9 Not a spoiler in anyway, also untrue though. Deathstroke's win animation shows a list of contracts that he has of people to kill and Beastboy is on there. He wouldn't have a contract on his head if he was already dead.
  • bring on Bizzaro. "Me am save you Metropolis". In all honesty I think Lobo is an overrated character (should have been voiced by Brad Garrett). Also belive in Swamp Thing being playable. would be different.
  • @18: It says in cyborgs regime bio that the rest of the teen titans are dead...so there's a possibility that they won't be in it... @19: i think lobo is quite overrated as well...I would have been happier seeing kite man or egg fu...now here me out on this people...I think to blow people's minds they should bring in spiderman (yes I realise he's a marvel character...) have the story where he tried to join the justice league...could have another potential batman rival...
  • @All saying Skorpion does not belong, Freddy says hi from MK9 lol.
  • @21 I'm still bummed that there was no option of a Robert Englund skin for Freddy; I mean he IS Freddy... Having practically grown up with those films, it was a massive waste to not include the one true Freddy instead of the Rorschrach also-ran... not to mention the other possibiliies for characters that would have fit a crossover MK/Horror world - The Cenobites from Hellraiser, Pumpkinhead, Jason Voorhees, maybe even Michael Myers, Leatherface and the rest of the 80s & 90s slasher film anti-heroes! I really hope this game lives up to it's potential with the wealth & depth of the available DC Universe... there is even so much room for crossovers still - Batman vs Judge Dredd was awesome for example - there are so many characters which could slot into a game like this and do it well. Here's hoping they left room for creativity to run wild...
  • i wonder if they will had the gren guy from jusice league (never can remember his name) as a plaable character. he is in the background of a level
  • @23 - Martian Manhunter?
  • I can't help but think John DiMaggion should have voiced him. It doesn't sound like him.
  • Yay
  • no is going to agree with me on this but i want to play as alfred
  • @#27 playing as Alfred might be fun...and difficult. But they should've put him in the background of wayne manner or the batcave or even made him an interactable where he wacks the fighter in the head with a tray or something. I still want Martian Manhunter. Prometheus and Hush would be cool too.
