Much like the announcement for Mortal Kombat X [original story], the sudden arrival of an Injustice 2 Announce Trailer has been felt across the world!

Injustice 2 worked its way into the worldwide trending topics almost immediately after the trailer's release. It signals the sustained power of NetherRealm Studios, and Warner Brothers' developing DC Comics fighting game franchise.

In the last twenty-four hours the trailer has attracted well over 1.5 million views on YouTube! Not quite the ratings juggernaut of Mortal Kombat X, but a very impressive start to a game that didn't have quite the orchestrated preamble that buoyed MKX.

Although only the first sequel to the 2013 fighting game - Injustice taps into the global franchise power of DC Comics, which extends beyond the comics that spawned the characters into feature films, cartoons, toys, video games, and extensive merchandising. Injustice itself spawned various toys and tie-ins, including a hugely successful digital-first comic series that lasted for five years!

Injustice 2 brings several well known characters straight into the fight, not just Batman, but figures from the growing television and film stable: The Flash, Supergirl and Aquaman!

Much like action figures come to life - fans will be able to customize the DC superheroes and villains as they collect various upgrades and accessories.
