The ultimate Batman V Superman simulator is getting one hell of an update based on weeks of feedback since it launched and made us believe that a man could indeed fly when punched into orbit by a Kryptonian solar-god with delusions of grandeur. Here's what's changing in Injustice 2.

His wife Lois Lane, unborn child and most of Metropolis dead thanks to the machinations of the Joker, Superman did what any living solar battery powerhouse would do: End the Joker once and for all, crossing a line that he never came back from as he descended further into tyranny over the course of the first year of the Injustice comic books. A plot twist that earned writer Tom Taylor plenty of hate from the internet.

Half the fun of Injustice 2 is in the art of super-punching the likes of walking nuclear bombs and billionaires with too much time and on their hands into orbit. The rest of the fun inside of Injustice 2 comes from playing dress-up with these gods and monsters, crafting their look with a meticulous attention to detail.

A week after launch and the playing field has already begun showing a few clear favourites in Injustice. Here’s the current list of the top ten Injustice 2 characters for online play, which happen to be mostly metahuman gods and mentally-damaged billionaire playboy philanthropists with issues.

Batman’s experiments will lead to the Justice League exploring a new multiverse that happens to be home to “The Justice League clad in ‘90s action figure armour plating fighting in an alien combat arena”. It sounds silly, weird and dammit I WANT TO READ THIS RIGHT NOW.

Injustice 2’s early facial animation felt like a low-budget sequel to Face-Off. The animations were stiff, the expressions were downright weird and the end result was jarring, to say the least. The backlash from that early look might have been the best thing to ever happen because the game that released last week has the kind of facial animation that would put LA Noire to shame.

Snyder has exited directing the remainder of Justice League so that he can focus on spending time with his family after the tragically untimely death of 20-year-old daughter Autumn, leaving Avengers director Joss Whedon to finish the massive DC Comics project.

A forging of positive emotions have been the driving force behind DC Comics ever since the Rebirth initiative kicked off in 2016. It’s that brighter mindset which will soon find itself challenged in a new DC Comics mini-series out later this year that looks like it’ll reintroduce the Watchmen to that universe while co-creator Alan Moore screams into the abyss, called “Doomsday Clock”.
