Injustice: Gods Among Us: "The Schemes Of Lex Luthor" Trailer + 1st look at "Black Adam"

Yeah, variety is awesome. I'm hoping Black Adam gets some of that Nova action with full screen OTG's and a bunch of extensions personally. However, if we are talking variety though I think the game could use Static. It'd be a homerun in terms of appealing to casuals and hardcore alike and his move potential with his powers is pretty legit. Dude is practically MVC Magneto with the way he fought on this show and in the comics.

Still all variety filled powersets aside I am eager to see some Black Adam. He's one of the best villains out there and he is tied to a country so he'll make for some excellent story.
I would be onboard static. Anyone but raven though....

his outfit is redesigned and very detailed, why do you think its lacking?
They're saying it lacks the polished high polygon count look that the other playable characters have. He looks sort of bland, like the NPC in the storymode we've seen so far. Characters that aren't playable have lower polygon counts and less small details put into their models. Just compare how Shazam looks to Black Adam.

It's not impossible that he may just look like that, and the video makes him seem less polished, but in the video he looks a little less detailed than what the others have. Which could mean he's not playable.

Why do people think he is playable his outfit has lack of detail. From this trailer, I do not think he is going to be playable.
I still think Black Adam will be a playable character if Injustice. But if what you say is true, he might at least still be fightable in Story Mode or Mission Mode, and they'll just give him Shazam's moveset. I remember MK9 Challenge Tower had a few missions where you fought as (or against) some generic looking characters that were just given another characters moveset (the first one that comes to mind is the mission with Johnny Cage where you could play as his director).

It could be the pictures themselves that kind of throws me off. The cape has very sharp edges and no shading and it also does not have a crease where the armour on his shoulders end. Around his midsection I have no idea what is going on... what is that cloth that is near his belt and why is it so messed up. Also, his face looks generic and he doesn't have pointy ears :S. Maybe it is just the pictures that make it look distorted but I am just not convinced. His boots are extremely detailed I will give you that.

ahh okay in the video he looks just as detailed to me though, so i guess its the zoomed in pics up top?
imo his look is no less detailed than Shazam's alt in the Aquaman Trailer

Besides he's not unique enough. Put in Martian Manhunter of something.
Oh, so this is the age old he's not my character so he doesn't deserve a spot play. So, if the shoe was on the other foot and this was Manhunter would you be hype and positive or still playing devil's advocate about poly count and texture quality?

i think alot of it is the pictures, i agree his face looks generic but Lex's does to me too and
and i think the stuff on his waist and shoulder is supposed to be reminiscent of Cap's old costume

oh and his ears arent always pointy :)

Lol My character (Batman) was going to be in the game regardless of anything, so I don't care anyway.

Just make Black Adam a skin and give better characters some shine.

ALL I HAVE IS THE GREEN.
Looks like a powersuit to me. Notice, there's no head...just a hole. So it's likely just Lex's powersuit, just a different version than the one he's wearing in the scene.
Yeah I just re-watched the Grundy vs GL battle arena and Grundy picks it up and throws it at GL.

Not to please with black adam design but i wanna see his moves if hes playable., Raiden esk charcter i think
 
I firmly believe that Black Adam is playable. I doubt NRS would have him flying around and shooting lighting and generally being such a prominent feature of the trailer if he wasn't. Hell people barely noticed that Lex was there....Boon has in the past commented about how fast people pick apart these trailers so I'm sure NRS knew exactly what they were doing. The only question left unanswered for me is whether he is a re-skin of Shazam or they designed him differently and he has his own character slot.

There's no reason to believe that at all aside from people saying "it's likely" which is why Megaman totally got patched into MvC3. The comment that sparked it is a year old, and has never been repeated. We haven't seen proof of concept even once.

Its just people playing the you can't have your character until I get mine card.
