INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US #5 Written by TOM TAYLOR Art by JHEREMY RAAPACK and TOM DERENICK Cover by DREW JOHNSON On sale MAY 29 • 40 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED T • DIGITAL FIRST Based on the upcoming DC fighting game from NetherRealm Studios, creators of Mortal Kombat! Batman has two allies: Damian and Dick Grayson. One is with him, while the other has joined Superman’s cause. The conflict between The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel is about to turn very personal. Plus: The Flash travels to Australia and ponders his own allegiances.

DAMIAN IN, FLASH GOES TO AUSTRALIA (Capt. Boomerang? Animal Man?)

 

[Euphoric]

Yeah, I read the next issue will focus on Green Arrow and Harley Quinn.

 

[Compbros]

Are they really gonna put Robin in this game? His outfit is the detailed/armored style of the playable characters.

 

[RiBBz22]

I bet they just make it a Nightwing Alt and just have him play the same way

 

[REDRUM]

Good find... That is most likely not the cover I assume but if the young Robin is playable in IGAU as maybe a Nightwing alt that would be tight..

 

[shig]

Not gonna be an alt if they are supposed to fight against eachother. Damian doesn't seem to use sticks/staff and is shorter than Nightwing.
Very likely to be one more character.

I'm just worried about someone so young getting fucked up by Bane or Grundy. Hell, Wonder Woman practically kills you in her super. The game gets pretty brutal.

I don't think they will at release, but you never know. I personally think they're just building drama for the comic sales. I hope Dick does what batman should have and aborts that little punk.

 

[Shadowknight1]

Oh Damian, you little shitstain. Daddy's gonna have to whoop your ass for siding with Superman.

EDIT: I will say this though. I love the design for Robin. Classy.

Quoting myself because fuck you: The game is supposed to take place years after the comic, tho. So maybe Damian will be older?

The Robin logo was seen on the art book as well. I'm guessing he is playable. (Same logic goes for Martain Manhunter.) Damien does not have a sword in this pic...I wonder if it will be in game. If not then I hope we see a Batgirl alt.

The Flash seems to be in the middle, again suggesting that he is torn between the sides.

MM needs to make it, he's so unique, and he's GREEN.

 

[randomdude]

i dont want to beat up a little kid. but i do want animal man in the game. i'm torn

 

[trufenix]

damn, tim drake just does not exist in this universe.

 

[Jackalpup]

I think he's a skin. In the image above, Dick has long hair and in the story trailer Nightwing's alt has long hair. The short-haired Nightwing is probably Damien.

 

[Fred Marvel]

i highly doubt damian will be playable in the game (unless he's a Nightwing skin) and Robin was confirmed in the comic when the CE showed his logo, same with MM

 

[JJocelot]

I'll admit, Damian Robin would be pretty sweet. With his past as a trained assassin, he could end up being a brutal, cut throat ninja-Batman lol.

But if he's not playable, whatevs.

 

[Reedoms]

Christ almighty I hope he's just involved in the story.

 

[TakeAChance]

Just give me Robin! Don't care which iteration anymore. I just want a robin lol

[KombatNerd]

Was hoping for a Dick Grayson robin costume, but if he's playable, then I will play him....

 

[Soul Bound X]

this is off topic, but do you guys think raven will be playable?

 

[Paradoxxs]

It seems very unlikely they will have a character that can only cast spells.

On the robin thing he most likely in the game but playable or not I don´t know.

 

[Playpal]

Looks like flash is gonna break the universe again. How do people write this guy?

Raven "only cast spells" is like saying Green Arrow "only shoots arrows". Raven could be just as good a zoner as Arrow, especially if they use her Soul-Self abilities the way they should and/or her teleportation. As for a Super Move...

Yeah.
