Ooooh, nasty. The morals of this conflict aside, I like this. This is how you merk a flying brick.

If he doesn't have high-end superspeed, at least. Otherwise he can smear you across the inside of his invulnerable brain with a quick headshake.

Supes forgetting about his speed is nothing new, of course, and I've no idea what his power levels are supposed to be in this scene in anyway.

Pretty sure that's red sunlight all around them, much like his cell.

Does this take place after the game, or is it still a prequel?

[chalicother]

It's a prequel to the Second game, but a sequel to the first game

[tianyulong]

Thanks!

I'm still miffed about how the second game went out if its way to contradict the first game's comic in the very first scene... though it *did* import a lot of material.

It was just so weird they had to immediately throw a monkey wrench into the Dick/Damien Arkham scene.

What happened exactly?

[deepspaceartist]

The first chapter of Injustice 2 is a flashback to Superman's attack on Arkham Asylum. It goes differently than in the comics, with Nightwing never showing up and Bruce still trying to get Clark to stand down and take time to grieve instead of going full on "SUPERMAN YOU ARE EVIL NOW AND I MUST STOP YOU". Damien ends up cutting Zsasz's throat and leaves with Superman.

This means that A: Dick Grayson no longer dies by getting knocked on the head by Damien and falling on a rock and B: Alfred was not killed by Superman letting Zsasz free. We have not yet received any new explanations for how those deaths occurred. On the plus side, it means the game might also contradict some of the comic's other more unfortunate deaths, such as Kyle Rayner, John Stewart and Guy Gardner's.

Well, John did Get Better, according to the game.

"Dimension"

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

The # of dimensions in space-time may be a local property, but that doesn't mean the same thing as another world: parallel universe or alternate universe would vastly more appropriate.

Reading one of fictions greatest polymaths, the bloody Batman, say "None of that happened in this dimension," just bothers me. He may have the emotional intelligence of a turnip at times, but his scientific background is rock solid.

You're fighting a losing battle, friend. As long as the word 'dimension' continues to sound cool, the common or garden science fiction writer will use it with impunity.

Everyone he loved died? OMG, he's the Ollie from Earth-CW!

[shadowpsykie]

okay, the Ollie/Canary/Batman and Ollie/Canary/Harley Scenes are ADORABLE....

and batman used his "Disappearing powers" for good AND for the funny.
