Shattered Alliances Part 2

Your mind tricks won't harm me!!!
rewatching the trailer, Grodd is leading...
Catwoman, Bane, Ivy, Cheetah and Deadshot

-
it also reaffirms my love of Bane's redesign. Even if he played jobber. LOL
 
Scarecrow, Fate, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, John Stewart, and Ollie (Whichever one it is) are huge comic death retcons. MMH also got his comic fate reversed with a shitty twitter explanation from Tom Taylor recently. There's also the fact that comic Hal Jordan would NEVER be allowed to have his ring and go green again.
I feel like they'll have to explain how Fate escaped the void, how Swamp Thing got out of hell, how Scarecrow is undead now, shit like that. They probably won't explain it in the game but maybe in the IJ2 comic.

Whats the explanation for MMH?
Zatanna never died. Fate was never officially confirmed dead, he just dissapeared. Since it seems Fate was alive, it makes sense for Ollie to be back cause they could have brought his counterpart back with Black Canary was brought back. As far as I've seen as well, John Stewart has not come back alive in this game at all either.
MMH is burned to death by Supes while strangling Wonder Woman to death. Supes burned her so bad she was out of commission for months. Couple weeks ago, Tom Taylor gave him a "not dead, just very badly burned" retcon and cited his ending.

Zatanna was a typo, I mean Canary. My bad. She's still alive and on Batman's team as of year 5.

Fate is sucked into the void with Mxzyplk and Trigon to spare Billy Batson, but more importantly, he declares he will not return to the dimension he dropped Canary and Arrow off in because he has "interfered too much". So not only did he return from a place two celestial level characters couldn't escape on their own, he also went back on his word dropping two people who should be dead back in their world.

Also, Canary and Ollie have a baby to take care of (again, not referenced thus far, so connor is probably just erased from inj 2 canon).

As for John, I'm assuming because Zoom is now confirmed to be in the story, the other premium skins John and Powergirl are also probably making appearances. I mean why not use them since we're just full on corrupt with the on disc dlc now.

I don't know why any of these are an issue. We have no idea about Scarecrow, could be explained in a number of ways. Zatanna was non story DLC. Edit: So Dr. Fate "Dissapears in the void". Easy comeback for a magic character in a comic book story, explains Ollie as well. To be honest I don't remember with Swamp Thing, does he actually die? John Stewart may not appear in story.

If Hal Jordan can get his ring back after becoming the embodiment of fear as Parralax then I think he can redeem himself past Injustice 1.

Edit: Did Zatanna even die anyway?

The issue isn't HOW dead people come back to life. The issue is dead people coming back to life makes the story shitty.

I'm fully aware we're WELL past the point where editors give a shit how we get dead popular character back to the front page.

You complained about the comics not mattering as if they weren't canon, then you posted a bunch of characters who were given ambiguous comicbook "deaths", and Zatanna. But I guess post-goal post move we are talking about how characters coming back in general is an issue, to which I would say Injustice has done a solid job of keeping some deaths ambiguous and explaining how characters come back, which often isn't the case in comicbook stories where this sort of thing is extremely common.

It is better this way
I'm really interested in how the hell Hal Jordan got his ring back. Sure he was completely manipulated by Sinestro but he still murdered Guy Gardner, then Superman killed Mogo and Ganthet. So he reeeeaaaly must have proved himself ig.

Canary Cry Gapless Pressure
I agree that he's a clown, Scarecrow isn't a waste of a slot but imo all the characters in the post you quoted except Weather Wizard are waaaay more badass than Scarecrow.
Are they badass ? Sure. Waste of a slot? Definitely. No need for KF cause Captain Cold & likely Sub Zero. No reason for Deathstroke because Deadshot. Etrigan is meh and honestly Scarecrow might turn out to be lit asf. His gameplay has tons of potential.

Edit: I put the ones I feel are wastes in bold. The others are fine but obviously they aren't in and I can understand why. Except Martian. Kinda puzzled he didn't make the cut lol

Please do not call Deathstroke a waste of a slot because of Deadshot. All they do similarly is shoot guns, Deadshot is no where near the martial artist Deathstroke is nor skilled swordsman. Along with Deathstroke having enhanced capabilities. The two characters are very much different.
