Black Manta Speculation?

[RoboCop]

Seriously, I've been waiting for Black Manta since Injustice 1 was announced, so I'm making the first goddamn "Black Manta confirmed" thread!

Thanks to @JLU51306 for the screen grab!

BAM!!!

 

[trufenix]

Don't get too excited. He could still be a transition or part of a super.

 

[Evil Canadian]

Confirmed for atlantis stage transition you mean.

 

[RoboCop]

Too late, already wet myself. And now I will wet the world...WITH BLACK MOTHERFUCKING MANTA!!! #bloodinthewater

It appears the Injustice 2 dead pool has claimed its first.

 

[Bomborge]

He kinda looks like part of a transition :/

 

[RoboCop]

Or part of a Clash...

 

[DownfouralitY]

He doesn't have a shitty redesign so he might be a part of a transition or something.. But I really fucking hope they didn't waste him on that. He deserves to be playable.

 

[Evil Canadian]

Or part of a Clash...

Why reach for straws, you know that's not the case. Just accept it and be happy he even got a chance to appear at all.

 

[Slick Tony]

I've seen a few people point out that he is part of the super montage. Perhaps that is him perfoming his super.

That's what I was hoping, but if you watch in slow motion, you can see that Aquaman is being knocked into him. It could still be part of a Clash or Super, but I'm starting to doubt it...

It definitely is either his super, or it him during a transition. I do feel like we've seen two stages in atlantis, but I am not sure, and still, even if we were shown two, that doesn't garantee he is there for the transition animation. I am not really sure either way.

Yeah, on further review, it looks like he might be a transition. That's...disappointing, if true.

 

[Scott The Scot]

I would like to refer you to Darkseids appearance from Injustice 1. That's my guess.

Yeah, Darkseid, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, etc. Fucking teases...

 

[KombatNerd]

A friend said Orm should be a transition and Black Manta should be playable. I agree with him. Manta is such a badass character.

 

[Fred Marvel]

yeah he isnt gonna be playable, just a transition

 

[shaowebb]

For what its worth MMH started out as a background character on a stage.

[GGA Max]

If he's in Aquamans upcoming movie, that should increase his chances

You're my favorite person.

 

[The Slaj Jazz]

I have faith in our evil friend

 

[Mighty Durpyena]

Just imagine B3'ing Aquaman into Black Manta using Black Manta

So long as two aren't on screen at once it could work. Superman catches his own opponent and Flash's old super had him deck you into himself waiting behind you. We got superpills remember? Its got a story loophole to cover it should it ever happen.

 

[Geoduck]

If he isn't playable, guys, we could always bank on Ocean Master to fill the void.
