The Claws Are Out in Injustice 2 Catwoman Trailer
Catwoman references movies in her Injustice 2 trailer!

The latest Injustice 2 preview is going back to a character we've seen before, know well, and will rediscover with a whole new bag of tricks! See what's new from Catwoman as she battles Harley Quinn, Batman and Poison Ivy:

Catwoman returns with her pet feline assisting in the fight, and her bolo whip ready to swing, snare and sting! It's the third appearance for the cat burglar turned heroine in a NetherRealm Studios game, having appeared previously in Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat versus DC Universe.

Some of the more interesting details are character intro references to the "Gotham City Sirens", and the secret identities of Batwoman (Kate Kane) and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). Inspired by the trio of characters in the animated series, the original Sirens featured Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Injustice 2 fighter Poison Ivy! A Gotham City Sirens feature film is in production -- and that isn't the only Warner Brothers movie franchise represented in the trailer!

If you feel like you recognize Catwoman's motorcycle Super Move - you aren't wrong! The backflipping missile attack is ripped right out of the playbook of Trinity in The Matrix Reloaded!

Rumblings from Hollywood suggest Warner Brothers might be rebooting The Matrix in the near future. Could that mean one of the forecast guest characters in Injustice 2 finally brings previously considered Neo into the fight?

Wonder Twin Powers Activate in Injustice 2?!
Ed Boon plays the April Fool with Wonder Twins teaser!

Ehhhh. Not so much. Injustice 2 may have breached the surface to bring us forgotten DC Comics icons like Doctor Fate and Swamp Thing, but this obscurity is taking the form of April Fools!

Those not in-the-know may be confused by the significance of the joke teaser, tweeted by Ed Boon with the phrase "Activate!".

It's a reference to the late seventies phenomenon of The Super Friends - a DC Comics animated series of questionable quality that aired on ABC. The cartoon depicted the earnest, but limited adventures of the Justice League and their arch-villains.

The show introduced The Wonder Twins (Zan and Jayna): a mighty morphin' pair of aliens whose powers could only activate if they made physical contact. The fist bumping siblings would announce their transformation. In the case of Zan, he could assume the form of water in its various states (puddle, ice, steam. Jayna had the more enviable ability of transforming into any animal she could name, of Earth or extra terrestrial origin.


The Wonder Twins activate their powers in Super Friends.

The Wonder Twins may have a cult following that's seen them make modern appearances as recent as TV's Teen Titans Go!, but they're generally remembered as a slightly absurd artefact of their time. Each is readily replaced by similarly powered, more interesting characters like "The Element Man" Metamorpho, or zoologically powered heroes Vixen, Animal Man, and Beast Boy. All of whom we'd love to see!

Of course, comics history is built on a foundation of finding interesting qualities in past concepts and revamping them better than before. The Wonder Twins may be a tad on the nose as is, but they pose interesting possibilities a fighting game could certainly exploit!

In Mortal Kombat X, Ferra/Torr gave us a new version of tag team fighting based primarily on a floating secondary character - Ferra. We haven't seen a true tag team in Mortal Kombat's main roster since Noob Saibot and Smoke came tethered in 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception. If NetherRealm Studios applied themselves, an adaptation of the Twin's tag-based power menu could be an innovative twist on the basic formula!
