What did we learn boys and girls?
Shazaam is Raiden and Smoke's love child
Lex was wise and copied Seth and Goku
Besides the wide scaled cinematics, the supers are kinda ass
Flash is still awesome
Aside from his crappy design, the joker kicks ass
I agree completely. Especially with the supers being kind of ass. Lex's and Flash's are both awesome supers.
But Shazam and Joker's are somewhat underwhelming for the following reasons:
Shazam's super starts off at a really great note. I like how he just completely pummels them in the stormy sky. It's flashy, and nice, but the final part with the whirlwind throw just struck me as weak. I thought we were going to aim for a bit more over the top with the super-fighting. Suggestion: If Shazam has instead grasped the opponent in a spinning Izuna drop to the ground as he yelled "SHAZAM!," and then cut wide-scaled into a massive lightning bolt explosion on the ground, that would have been so completely dirty. Shazam looks like a complete bad-ass, and this would have completed the character imho.
With the Joker, it's also kinda weak in the sense that he just beats the opponent senselessly with his special techniques in a single combo, and then pulls out a surprise rocket launcher. I admit, the rocket launcher is COOL, but we're going to be seeing a lot of these moves in his standard combos, so really it just looks like a combo you waste all your meter on.
That being said, it would have been nice to see the Joker pull something crazy from his bag of tricks. Maybe there was a trap he laid in advance that he could have taken advantage of in order to incapacitate the opponent, and then beat them senselessly with the crowbar while they're down? His Kryptonite Fear-Gas was AWESOME in the Injustice comic, so why not pull that out? I could see him just laughing and saying "Wakey wakey!" as he brings them out of their stupor with an RPG to the face.
That would have been SO over the top! If they can manage to use the time they have left to revise some of the cinematics, that'd be siick.
But yeah, I know, that's unrealistic. I'm just a DC/MK fan here in the FGC speaking his mind.
