Injustice: Something that Bugs Us (p2)

Anyone who owns Injustice most likely knows of all the DLC characters and a good number of character skins for the game. Well I'm here to say that's only part of the subject I'm going to bring up. What I want to talk about is the possibility of sequel for this game and things that I think should be put in the game that would work heavily in its favor.

1) Tag team option
I would say for a game that has recognizable heroes and villains, various superhero and supervillain organizations, this and that, a tag team option would be perfect. I'm not asking for anything profound like what they have to offer in may Capcom crossover fighting games but something along the lines of the tag team options that many MK games had to offer.

2) More Characters and Stages
I've gone on record to say that yes Batman is a popular franchise but the number of characters and stages straight from the Batman series is a little much and (particularly with the stages) lazy. With the inclusion of DLC there will be a total of 32 characters (2 of which have not been released yet). I say for the sequel there should be anywhere from 44 to 52 (see what I did there?) characters total without aftermarket extras and. Something that feels more insulting is that the Batman stages are incredibly lazy, not helped by the fact that 6 of the 15 stages are batman stages, made even more ridiculous that 2 of the stages are reskins of other stages (seriously-Wayne Manor, Wayne Manor Night, Arkham asylum, Joker's Asylum. WTF?!!!) with little to no difference from one another. With a sequel I would like a total of 22 to 33 stages. With this point I don't mind if they keep all the characters and stages from the current Injustice with many new characters that would be excellent additions to the sequel. I'll go ahead and make a list of characters I feel could fill in the missing slots that I previously mentioned (or maybe be the remaining 2 DLC characters for the current Injustice).
-Etrigan the Demon
-Anyone of the major representatives of one the other Emotional Spectrum Lantern Corps (preferably Atrocitus or Star Sapphire Carol Ferris)
-Dr. Fate
-Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)(or Black Beetle)
-Clayface
-Blackhand
-Amazo
-Beastboy (Garfield Logan)(or alternatively Vixen or Animal Man)
-Starfire
-Swamp Thing
-Captain Atom (or Atomic Skull)
-Cheetah (Barbara Ann Minerva) (I'd prefer Cheetah over Catwoman anyday)
-Black Manta
-Ocean Master
-Atom (Ray Palmer)
-Red Tornado
-Imperiex
-Brainiac
-Big Barda
-Orion
-Black Canary
-Firestorm (Or Fire)
-Jinx
-Mammoth
-Gizmo
-Captain Boomerang
-Mirror Master
-S.T.R.I.P.E
-Gorilla Grodd (or Ultra-Humanite)
-Metamorpho
-Circe
-Cosmic Boy (hehe)
-Static (or Lightning lad)(or Livewire)(or Black Lightning)
-Darkseid (or Grayven)
-The Fatal Five
-Gentleman Ghost
-Kole and Gnarrk
-Aqualad (Either Kaldur or Garth or hell even both)
-Supergirl (Hey if they can put batgirl AND Zod in the game then there's no reason why they couldn't put supergirl in either)(or Powergirl)
-Superboy (Ditto)(and no not superboy prime)
-Wondergirl (same deal goes)

...uh anyway ya, that list could've gone for another 20 or so characters but you get the idea.

3) A few nitpicky things
-If all the characters had more intros and outros with interactions with one another
-Lots o dag'on costumes (and now for another list)

  • Flash-Reverse Flash, Impulse, Kid Flash, and Jay Garrick
  • Green Lantern-Kilowog, Kyle Rayner, and Alan Scott
-Multiple Story mode options
-Tag Team option
