According to parent company Time Warner: Injustice 2 is the highest grossing video game of the 2017 second quarter! The report takes into account business from April to June, with Injustice 2 only released mid-May.

Time Warner proclaimed their gaming success as part of a mid-year report of financial earnings, touting their DC Comics properties as power players in multiple media arenas. Injustice character Wonder Woman also conquered the box office, grossing an approximate $800 million worldwide, at the time of report.

It's a customary celebration of success for a NetherRealm Studios fighting game, but a noted drop-off from the highs of Mortal Kombat X in 2015, carefully contextualized by gross.

According to numbers reported by VGChartz; Injustice 2 sold an approximate 687,301 units in its first four weeks of release. That's just over half (51.2%) of what Mortal Kombat X achieved in the same amount of time.

Rival fighting game Tekken 7 was released to home consoles two weeks after Injustice 2 (June 2nd), and although it trailed Q2 sales, it was outpacing the DC fighter with 606,624 units as of June 10th. That's just 80k fewer units in half the time.

Injustice 2 continues to generate revenue for Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment through a relaunched mobile game, and continued sales of downloadable content. Fighter Pack 1 will conclude later this month with the release of Starfire, with more DLC characters on the horizon [full story].

Along with the addition of a Bizarro Premier Skin; Injustice 2 has updated to include Tournament Shaders available in gold and silver! Check them out in trailer form below:

Proceeds from the shaders will go to funding prize pools for competitive eSports leagues featuring Injustice. July saw Ryan "Dragon" Walker take home $35,280 for winning the 2017 Evo World Championship. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Brothers frequently sponsor other tournaments, including eSports partner Electronic Sports League (ESL).

The chromatic costumes are reminiscent of Blue Steel Sub-Zero, released as downloadable content for Mortal Kombat X in 2015.

Injustice 2 shaders are able to recolor all characters. Click the thumbnail [right] to enlarge render artwork of Supergirl, Superman, Batman, Catwoman & Cyborg in the gold tournament shader.

Injustice 2 was officially released less than three months prior, but that wouldn't stop the best players in the world converging on Las Vegas on July 16th. Their goal: Fighting supremacy, a share of the $58,800.00 prize pool, and the inaugural Injustice 2 Evo World Championship!

Dragon (Ryan Walker) had a seemless run to the final where he faced the returning flight of Canada's favourite HoneyBee: Tim Commandeur. It would be a rematch from the Winner's Bracket to decide the 2017 Championship -- conditions that gave HoneyBee a chance to redeem his previous loss in the Winner's Bracket final.

HoneyBee got everyone talking with his impressive return to the top of the competitive ranks, and his controlled use of The Flash. The fairy tale end wasn't to be, however. He greatly improved on the straight sets loss that sent him to the Loser's Bracket, but Dragon's Aquaman was too good in a 3-2 finish.

Notable by his absence was SonicFox (Dominique Mclean), whose stalwart status in the final of NetherRealm Studios fighting tournaments was upset by a one-two punch! HoneyBee sent the reigning Mortal Kombat XL Champion to the Loser's Bracket, where Semiij (Andrew Fontanez) scored an amazing elimination with his Catwoman! The result forced SonicFox to share 5th with Canada's Hayatei (Alexandre Dubé-Bilodeau).

Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! Bizarro is making his way to the battle field of Injustice 2! Still can't believe it? Just ignore the hideous character render not included below!

Bizarro is the classic Superman doppelganger whose mixed up "Bizarro" logic has become part of the vernacular, meaning anything a little backwards, or out of the ordinary.

First introduced in a 1958 issue of Superboy; Bizarro has gone on to be a perennial favourite of Superman comics, television, and cartoons, causing trouble and mischief as "Superman's #1 fan"!

His origins have varied, but the most iconic Bizarro hails from Bizarro World -- a cube shaped counter-Earth where all inhabitants are disfigured mirror images living a strange, opposite existence. Some of Bizarro's "worst enemies" (friends) include newer creations The Yellow Lantern and Batzarro! In Injustice: Gods Among Us tie-in comics, Bizarro is depicted in another popular form, as a failed cloning experiment perpetrated by another of Superman's foes: Lex Luthor!

Fans will have already noticed Bizarro using his unique "flame breath" and "freeze vision" on Starfire in a recent DLC preview trailer. The attacks reflect Bizarro's iconically mixed up powers, and raise questions over whether or not Bizarro will appear as a Premier Skin, or fully fledged downloadable character.

Edit (July 29th): The remote likelihood that this was more than a Premier Skin has very much been shot down by Ed Boon, who politely told a fan to "reconsider" the option, via Twitter.
