A brand new character for Injustice 2 has finally made its way into the game. The new character is called Starfire and is based on the DC character of the same name.
Starfire is a character from the Teen Titans universe, so it's interesting to see her make her way into a brutal 3D fighting game.
In Injustice 2, Starfire is grown up and ready to beat any opponents that challenge her.
Starfire is designed to be a character suitable for beginner players. Her move set is very simple when compared to other Injustice 2 characters, which should make it easier for newer players to master her.
Starfire will be available for free to anybody that owns the Injustice 2 Deluxe or Ultimate editions. Alternatively, if you own Fighter Pack 1, you'll also have access to Starfire. If you have neither of the things above, you'll have to purchase Starfire separately.
There are a number of shaders available for Starfire, including one that makes her look like her sister, Blackfire.

A brand new update for Injustice 2 has landed and it brings a new Superman skin into the game.
The new Superman skin is called the Bizarro Superman and it is a premier skin.
The trademark feature of the Bizarro Superman skin is the reversed 'S' on his chest. The character also looks zombified in many ways and has bright blue laser eyes. You can see an example of the skin's appearance in the image above.
Some of the moves on the new Bizarro Superman skin have changed when compared to the standard Superman. For example, one move will now burn opponents instead of freezing them. His laser beam attack now produces icy, cold damage instead of red, hot solar damage.
The Super ability of the Bizarro Superman skin remains the same as the standard Superman, but there are a number of other small changes to some other skills that are available to both Superman and Bizarro Superman.
The Bizarro Superman also has new voice lines. The lines include things like "You

Fighting games can be highly competitive titles. They're so competitive, in fact, that even the smallest of balancing changes can make or break a player's viability at high-level play. For this reason, the newly announced Injustice 2 gear system is a little scary.
Injustice 2 will be getting a gear system that players will be able to follow as a sense of progression while playing. All of the cosmetic choices available with the gear options are exciting, and players will have to work hard to get some of the rarer items. The scary part is that these gear items do offer players with inherent bonuses.
Firstly, players will be able to improve their favorite character's base stats simply by leveling up over time. That's right, players that play for longer will not only have a higher skill level, but they'll also have a distinct in-game advantage. Injustice 2 will also support a loop drop system that will allow players to earn loot from finishing and winning games. The loot rewarded

It looks like we may be getting Injustice: Gods Among Us 2 after all. Recently, a poster which seems to be leaked material for the upcoming sequel to Injustice was posted online. Whether or not the artwork is real or not is hard to confirm at this point but as you can see above, the quality of this artwork is exceptional.
It seems crazy to think an individual would go out of their way to create a poster of this quality just to fake a leak like this. But if you're not entirely convinced, we have some information to add further legitimacy to the image.
This poster hasn't just appeared from one source - multiple sources from various GameStop retail stores across the US have shared this online. Some sources have gotten in touch with online gaming news sites including Kotaku, Polygon and Game Informer. Plenty of the websites seem to cite different sources so it seems very likely that this poster really is sitting in the back of hundreds of GameStop stores across America.
