I Will Not Give Up The Fight – Injustice for Robin!
Here I am again to share two new videos debuting two new characters for the upcoming video game Injustice: Gods Among Us. Unfortunately, neither character is Robin the Boy Wonder. Why isn’t DC listening to me? Who do I have to reach at Warner Bros. to make this a reality? Why are none of the people at NeatherRealm Studios reading my blog?
First up, we have Doomsday, the villain who killed Superman back in the 90s.
I think Doomsday is a great choice for a fighting game like Injustice. He’s big, he’s burly and he’s got a cool look. If I had to design someone who killed Superman on brute strength alone, Doomsday is a great look. Plus, since I think the plot of the game has Superman as a villain, maybe Doomsday rises to become some kind of secret weapon for the good guys.
Next up is Raven, the black magic magician of the Teen Titans.
Raven is probably also a good choice, if an obscure one. It’s a good idea to diversify and include as many female fighters as possible, plus Raven uses magic, so I’m sure that will help when it comes to special attacks. She also starred in that Teen Titans cartoon a few years ago, so I’m sure she’s got some good street cred.
But she’s not Robin. Neither of them is Robin. How hard is it to put Robin in this game? Why is the concept of Batman vs. Robin so hard to grasp?
There are several more characters to be revealed. So stay tuned as I keep you as up to date as possible. Will my persistence pay off in the end? Or will my dreams be crushed like so many sky blue eggshells?
Thanks to Xavier for the find!
P.S. Did anyone else see that video of one level where Giganta and Atom Smasher are fighting in the background, and will interact with the combatants? I think the developers had more fun coming up with the levels than they are the fighters.

At this point i can see the adding Damian Robin in as DLC sometime soon after the release. Disappointed that they aren’t even hinting at bringing him in. He’s in the comics and the whole Batman vs Robin thing is a big missed opportunity if they don;t go through with it. I will say this though; Should they go the same route with Damian in the tie in comics as DC has done in INC#8 it would be a damn shame, the solicitations for the printed June issue has me worried there.
That thought has crossed my mind. They might kill Robin like they did Lois Lane. That would suck.
Hang on a sec, after reading (just now) some interviews with the comic writers. They write off the Joker as dead but he’s still in the game somehow. Perhaps DLC is our best chance but who knows any idea how many playable characters there will be? i thought i heard somewhere it was 25 but it seems they may have surpassed that count already.
I don’t know the exact number. I think they said the roster who at least be the size of the last Mortal Kombat game, which had a lot of characters.
That Giganta vs. Atom Smasher thing is insane! Even cooler was when Hawkgirl got kicked through a portal and beat up by Darkseid (although I guess that means he won’t be playable).
Damian tried pulling some ferocious tricks while sparred with Nightwing in Injustice #10, so I’m thinking that the developers recognize him as a fun playable character.
There’s one with a portal and Darkseid too? Oh man! I am not watching enough of these videos. I want to play this game just to see all the cool background features!
