2:26 knife to the balls... ouch

[@garrietpendleton]

The "YOUR FIRED" line at the end made my day

[@jamaarharris8925]

There no way in Gods name The Joker could of survived that.

[@Super-mt5fc]

"Thanks Happy Pill!"

[@toxin689]

I could not be more excited about the unreal amount of combo chains possible with Luthor.

[@lknkprkninflamesbest]

I know you are supposed to suspend your disbelief in movies and video games, but what the Joker does at 0:58 to a power suit and the Joker surviving something like at 1:30 makes it INCREDIBLY hard to do so

[@KCJ506]

I have a feeling one of them is gonna be Catwoman vs Deathstroke. Because on Monday on the Injustice web page, it was talking about the Battle Arena. And it had pics showing Aquaman fighting Cyborg, Green Lantern fighting Grundy, and Catwoman fighting Deathstroke.

[@MilanTheVillain01]

Some very epic voice acting work for the Joker, provided by Mr. Richard Epcar!

[@Aliensurfer80]

In the pormotional art for the game as well as on the box art you can see batman with a kryptonite shard sharpened to the point of being a knife, I dont know if he uses it in story mode but, it shows he has it

[@unverifiedbiotic]

Those cutscenes of the characters falling definetly won't get old after the hundredth time you'll be forced to watch them ...

[@rutofan]

The sound effects are amazing!!

[@theeboredone]

Like how different characters use the items around them, I figure it would be nice in regards to a weaker character like Joker using some other means of transitioning an opponent to another part of the stage rather than going through punching Lex through multiple buildings.

[@28098610w]

Jokers post celabration at the end reminds me of the scene in Under The Red Hood , where hes about to set Black mask and his capos on fire.

[@sanova]

"You're Fired"... Best closing catchphrase ever LOL

[@chucknorrisismypal]

It wasn't even based on powers and abilities; it was fans voting. Some vote for who they think would actually win in a fight, others vote for the character they like more.

[@shrek187]

Can't wait for the next poll to vote between Lobo vs Lobo...

[@chucknorrisismypal]

I'm still awaiting a sequel. I must see Cyrax vs. Metallo.

[@kylenguyen7371]

Some of the Joker's animations bear some similarity to those of Cyrax in MK(2011). Mostly his knife swings, which resemble Cyrax's saw-hand swipes. It gives the Joker a very visceral flair to his attacks.

[@Rhekon]

Alexander's suit was pierced by joker's knife. He couldn't make him laugh, but he definitely hurt one of his sides. He'll be in stitches or something punny like that. Good job, NR studios.

[@kelthanius]

That hint at the end - Superman Vs. Doomsday maybe?

[@wesleyedwards123]

Batman villains are our favorite bad guys so when it's a villain from another series vs one of Gotham's bad guys you can bet that the batman villain will be shown winning!

[@Realist00]

I think this "Battle Arena" is turning into a big popularity contest, rather than who would win in a actual fight.

[@bdpickett]

All of which is predicated on the assumption that Lex's suit has no retractable pressurized air helmet in-case he'd ever fight in space or under the ocean or something.

[@DarthAzabrush]

Death In the Family, the Killing Joke all sorts of stories have moments of self awareness. Harley has also gained a similar power in her solo series.

[@batmanfan43]

These are what I hope to be the next matches: Deathstroke vs Nightwing And Superman vs Doomsday. In the end: BATMAN vs SUPERMAN FTW

[@R2X]

Love that The Jokers victor celebration is almost a finisher

[@steelie1998]

that's why with pretty much every swing he had a weapon, like a knife or crowbar although if youve played the joker challenge maps youll know how awesome he is

[@blocknessmonster18]

You're right. Let's go Batman vs Joker!

[@Newie69MK]

It originally occurred in the Batman issue "Death in the Family" in the late 80s which the film is based.

[@chucknorrisismypal]

2:25 Even in an exo-suit, you're not getting up after a knife down there.

[@homestareddsworldman]

Agreed, notice they put the Joker, the one person who would really have the ability to beat batman besides superman, within the same half of the tournament, forcing them to fight before the finals. The only way the outcome can be different, is really just if people vote for joker instead of batman, which isn't that unlikely.

[@KarmaEpsilon]

Pie, the world's greatest shield-breaking tech.

[@Hollocost20]

They will explain it during the story of the game. They said the same thing with Batman sending Solomon Grundy flying as well

[@MagnusOrion]

Is it not obvious to you that we are, in fact, discussing the fight shown?

[@Noctem0RebelGamer]

Anyone else love that the Joker is standing like how Heath Ledger is standing in the Dark Knight when he has his knife.

[@prodigalj4760]

If you play the story it will explain why humans are able to fight superheroes and villains. They said that in the opening trailer when this was announced. They realize its not likely, but they would explain how it was possible.

[@ShieldsJustice]

The best two super villains in any comic universe history ever.

[@CapcomPlease]

yeah, i thought the boxing accordion would have been perfect for the building launcher move. at least, slightly more believable

[@KCJ506]

Well actually people did complain about Wright in UMVC3. But that series always had over the top things and out there characters. I mean it had a character that hits you with his health bar. Even if Wright is just a lawyer, his goofiness fit in just fine.

[@PhoenixDownGamingPDG]

The quarterfinal thoughts have been uploaded.

[@9595Miles]

For possessing such amazing intellect, you would've thought that Lex would've designed a suit that protected his head....

[@frostyjenkins1307]

2:10 huge explosion CLEARLY visible from space aaaaand.... 2:12 the building is perfectly intact ladies and gentlemen still want the game though

[@BrianMinor25]

You mean that animated 2008 cartoon or the comic series from the 2000s? Death in the Family was the first time he ever used a crowbar to kill someone (Robin) around 1989 when the Batman movie was coming out, and it has been referenced numerous times since then. It was just re-shown in the animated Under the Red Hood back to that classic scene. Google it for awesome Joker images. =)

[@Janootz]

There's a difference between a straight up fight and a fighting game. In a fighting game, any character has to be able to win against any other character so the game is a fair test of the players' abilities. We call this having a balanced roster.

[@AnomalyINC]

Yeah, my uncle died in an unfortunate disappearing pool ladder incident.

[@quitekaiser]

The crowbar that killed Jason Todd, and the gun that he shot Barbra Gordon with.

[@sgwee]

who knew the best comeback after an orbital lazer strike was a pie to the face. Genius!!

[@Alenthas]

funny when the explosion is so large you can see it from the outher space, but props looked like mildly annoyed

[@jellyalvs52]

When the Joker throws a pie, it's not a regular pie. It's a venom-made bomb filled with acid sauce that explodes on contact

[@matthewmeaney7161]

He didn't throw it, he hit it with a crowbar.

[@TheVGC]

Yes they do.

[@KoeNoOri]

They say a winning smile is everything and Joker has that in spades.

[@TheVGC]

Dude, Luthors head is exposed, Joker would smack him with a crow bar in the comics. Not to mention his acid would melt the suit, and Joker has a butt load of explosives and even a freaking Bazooka. Popularity contest or not this was a fair fight and a well balanced game!

[@AllieHanley]

How did you spot that? So quick. You have sharp eyes!

[@CaptainPlanetsNose]

I'm really digging the crowbar attacks. I just hope robins in this so the reference is complete.

[@RPGfan1993]

Wow the Joker's new voice actor did a great job, he sounded like Hamill at times. Hope he gets to voice him again in the future since Hamill won't be returning to the role

[@peterklausadele8009]

I found my favorite fighter. Come on Mr.J , we´ll have some fun

[@torgo1985]

*Luthor's super move is extinction-level event* *Joker immediately stands up* This game rules.

[@BrianMinor25]

I think that's what he meant. Lol. Death in the Family is WHERE he beat Robin to death with a crowbar. Maybe a misuse of the word parody, but I think the same thing was meant.

[@thomaswittmann3134]

Did you knew: The Joker once won a hand to hand combat battle with Luthor in the story arc "Salvation Run".

[@IDincItaiAndDaniel]

in "Under the red hood" they showed a part of "Death in the family" where joker beats Jason to death

[@KCJ506]

I voted based on whom I would had like to see more gameplay of before the game came out. Could careless about logic or popularity. For instance Flash vs Captain Marvel/Shazam, there had already been tons of videos showcasing Flash's gameplay, whereas at the time CM/Shazam's gameplay had yet to be shown, so I voted for him.

[@billygreci8776]

That was EPIC!!!! Next thing you know, Deathstroke will start carving up Cyborg and Aquaman will have Solomon Grundy sleeping with the fishes.

[@forbiddenphoenix765]

They've censored Joker's intro. The full version is awesome.

[@ltmarcos]

That could also be referring to Aquaman. Being King is rather noble as well.

[@KCJ506]

Richard Epcar. Same guy that voiced him in MKvsDC.

[@KCJ506]

Even if Joker is a normal human being, this is partly a fanservice game. Not only is he Batman's arch nemesis, he's popular and iconic and there's no way that the story mode can miss out on such an important character.

[@kelthanius]

Damn, Joker's been working out. Did he really send Luthor in a MECH SUIT flying through a building from a punch? :P

[@stevensandoval9809]

What I really am wondering is how are they going to do supermans, lex Luther's , flash and hawk girls super move on that space arena

[@PoysenDemon]

in the beginning they sound like two friends who are betting on whos better

[@Aiden2041]

Well that was unnecessarily brutal

[@Cupn00bles]

I love how Joker's gun fatality was censored in MK vs DCU to make it a T rated game, but in here it's just a normal attack and that's totally fine.

[@bigpoopa]

With that gun of his I would love to see him against Batgirl

[@dooshahn]

They should give Joker some cyber armor alternate costume so his super strong punches wouldn't look so weird.

[@ChicoDiamante]

I don't think I'll be able to accept this new voice for the Joker but he looks fantastic fighting.

[@TheAwkwardSilent]

Realistically, IT'S A VIDEO GAME. Besides, the people in Injustice clearly said that they are making a reason in the story as to why the characters are balanced when in one-on-one fighting.

[@SonOfCallaugh]

I really hope they include Red Hood.

[@Dollerz12]

It is unrealistic because people have super powers. 1] Lasers form the eyes 2] Athena and Wonder Woman flying 3] Freeze breath 4] Super Speed 5] Cybernetic Humans [semi real] 6] Thangarians and Kryptonians. 7] I can think of many unreal things in games, like in minecraft blocks can float, every game has an unreal part to it.

[@filmmoviePRODUCTIONS]

I Know For A fact that in a fight, a man with a cybernetic technologically advanced suit that is heavily armored ,with genius intellect, and amazing abilities would die at the hands of a crazy man with a knife

[@jamesjt235]

The sound at the end was the nuke that destroys super man City

[@SanjiSasuke]

There is no way they could add it now. If you look inside the Koncept book you'd see it takes a TON of time to create that. Plus there's a lot more 'going on' as far as processes go for the console power to deal with, it might not be worth it or possible.

[@Stormeris]

Ah, it seems Joker studied Gordon Freeman's crowbar art

[@KCJ506]

He's referring to Phoenix Wright being able to beat up the Hulk(and anyone else) in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

[@SparkyDaHedgehog]

Well, makes sense too me. Thanks!

[@ccardosofelipe0427]

you will probably have to choose one of two sides to play the campaign, and my guess is in both sides the end is Batman vs. Superman it only changes with who you're playing

[@whoshisface88]

The crowbar actually was used to be the Jason Todd Robin to death.

[@Dollerz12]

this reminds me of no you hang up, no you hang up, noooo you hang up... okay

[@MisterCynic18]

And here I was hoping us DC fans could have fun nerding out over logistics.

[@thesamadshow]

he was popular before heath ledger died and he has been popular even before the original animated cartoon

[@ShutEmDown]

Agreed, neither do the comics or cartoons necessarily make sense.

[@Ronldbx6]

both characters look really good.

[@georgedeboo3759]

My brother (ChiefChegwin) came up with the idea of having the Joker say "Must I remind you of my stupidity" every time he fights Lex Luthor.

[@JohnnyRetro64]

This joker's design reminds me of Cesar Romero's joker from the old Adam West batman

[@Dollerz12]

Also the joker is smarter then you think, he can like set bombs and acid inside of the holes and weak parts of his suit, and the joker has armor under, if he had armor on the top they would get weapons a lot stronger because they know the other weapons won't hurt him a lot.

[@LeagueOfDubstep]

To make restrictions to every character's weakness (yes being human is a weakness here) would make the game impossible to play freely. So just accept that this game has amazing gameplay with all the characters we've always wanted.

[@TheTwinklefluffy]

Your heart is in the right place, but your head is not. Because that was stupid.

[@chucknorrisismypal]

Well... that escalated quickly.

[@Retribution8]

Well Joker is excellent in hand to hand but not how most people would think. He's couldn't stand a chance against Batman but in a fight he knows how to handle himself. He's a street brawler, he gets dirty, eye gouges, groin shots, curb stomping. He knows how to handle himself in a fight and will usually win against any untrained opponent

[@DastardlyDavid69]

It's crazy how these matches are Man in a super suit that can fight superman < Clown with regular weapons.

[@jcperera]

i wanna see batman vs joker match so badly

[@Fatboyftw32]

Well they said one of the points of the story is to explain why some of these characters are equal so mabye it will make sense.
