Developer NetherRealm has a track record of introducing crazy crossover characters into its fighting games, and following in the footsteps of Hellboy, Injustice 2 is getting some surprise combatants in its next downloadable content pack.
We are, of course, referring to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All four mean green fighting machines appear to act as a single character, so it'll be interesting to see how that works in-game. They're joined by The Atom and Enchantress, two DC creations that we honestly couldn't tell you anything about. Apparently the latter was in Suicide Squad, but we don't watch trash.
Anyway, we're obviously all here for the Turtles, so who cares? Remember to call dibs on Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, or Michelangelo in the comments section below.

I thought Suicide Squad was great. Guess I'm not edgy enough to sneer at comic book movies.
Enchantress was in Suicide Squad but you're right, saved yourself some time wasted on that. The Atom on the other hand, he appeared in the Arrow TV show before moving on to the spin off series, Legends of Tomorrow. Honestly though, all you really need to know is that when all is said and done, he's kind of the DC version of Ant-Man.
You've gone and done it with that headline...
Can't believe they're adding the Turtles, though. WTF?
I'm hoping for a Ray Palmer Legends of Tomorrow skin for the Atom so I don't have to play as Choi. Enchantress has been guessed since the initial pack trailer when they showed the cast but in blacked out and the Atom was announced weeks ago. But Enchantress' powers will make her a lot of fun to play. The Turtles though did not see that coming.
rebuying this weekend I think buzzing for those 4 best reveal by far
@Starbuster00 Not sure there's anything particularly edgy about talking trash on a movie that has a 40 on Metacritic and 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Suicide Squad had issues with its pacing and structure, for sure, but it's hardly trash. It's fun. Which is probably why the audience rating stands at 61%.
I watched Suicide Squad for Margot Robbie and came away fully satisfied.
Edgelord #2 strikes again. You guys are insufferable most of the time
I think that the TMNT make for a really cool addition to the roster. It's a weird pick, sure, but I think the best guest characters always are.
P.S. Suicide Squad was like a fever dream masquerading as a McDonald's Happy Meal. Never again.
I’ve been considering getting Injustice 2 as the game has really nice presentation and visuals and the diversity of characters seems great. I don’t do much by way of fighting games, but played the first Injustice because it was a freebie on PS Plus. I wonder if they’ll offer this one eventually as well in order to keep people buying these DLC characters. Anyone know how many more DLC packs they have in the works? I’m trying to decide how much longer the game is going to be relevant, and therefore what the forecast on cost of it will be in the near future.
@get2sammyb she's the only bearable thing about that film. Now, the Wolf of Wall Street on the other hand.....
What's next, Tommy from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
Anyway, I'm somewhat excited for this. Sure it looks dumb, but at least is something worth to get excited about, unlike anything Marvel vs Capcom Infinite has announced. I mean, seriously. Black Widow? Really? I mean she's not a bad character but that means that we got 2 DLC capcom characters and 4 marvel characters. I was really expecting Gill to come to the game.
With the TMNT announcement, I'm now 100% buying this game. However, I'll wait for the Game of the Year edition or whatever they will call it.
Adding TMNT was probably a good choice. I honestly don’t know much about DC characters except for the main big ones.
I must've missed the memo sometime in 2017 where disliking a movie makes you an "edgelord".
Pretty hyped for the turtles. At least they're the original designs and not the weird Michael Bay versions, amirite?
Atom is basically DC's version of the Marvel's Ant-man and Enchantress was the Suicide Squad movie. I like Marvel's Enchantress better, though.
@PhenomenalOne I find that offensive. Why aren't I Edgelord #1?
@ShogunRok that's Sammy.
@WanderingBullet you have that reversed ant man is marvels version of the atom considering atom was created and debuted first in 61 while ant man didn't debut until 62 and like marvel always liked to do copied DC. Seriously when you see a hero or villain from DC that has a suspiciously similar marvel copy 9 times out of 10 DC version was created first and marvel followed suit and copied it.
Wonder if DC can make a decent film that isn't a rip off of Captain America the First Avenger lol I hope to god Justice League is good.
I have seen a lot of TMNT hate on other sites. Those people childhoods must have sucked.
Definitely going to pick this game up now. I am pretty sure I can find a good deal on it on Black Friday.
@get2sammyb You have very good taste brother👍
I recommend watching "Z for Zachariah (2015)" if you haven't already.
@THEONE19 I've been a Margot fan since the heady days of Neighbours on weekday afternoons!
@dark_knightmare2 Good to know, but it seems to me that Ant-man's more popular even before he made his movie debut.
@nessisonett besides them taking place in a war setting the movies were nothing alike
@get2sammyb really? I thought they did a terrible job with Harley Quinn. The best Harley was from Batman, the animated series.
On a side note, there was a Harley that worked at the Walmart where I used to live. I said "Oh, are your parents Batman fans?" She seemed offended and said "No, motorcycle fans". I keep forgetting that not everyone is a nerd like me.
And with that, I am now interested in this game. Although I do wonder when the DLC is gonna stop before I invest.
@Bliquid ok
Margot was a good Harley
Leto was an awful Joker
Me watching the trailer:
Ahh, Enchantress, the most annoying DC villain seen in a movie (and I'm including the Helen Slater Supergirl from 1984 in that). Don't care.
Ohh, Atom, yeah, don't care.
Is that a sai? The evil version of Katana? A bit obscure.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sucks we have to get Enchantress and Atom but the Turtles alone is worth the price. They are most certainly DLC characters and not ones cut from the original game.
When I saw two characters we've never heard of I expected them to be something really obscure... I wouldn't call the atom obscure lol. He's a fairly well know DC character that has been around quite a while. Not to mention he's in Arrow/Legends of tomorrow. Enchantress is in suicide squad so while the film sucked I'm sure quite a few people have heard of her.
@Th3solution This is the last one from the season pass but I would not be surprised if they did a final fighter pack to go alongside the GOTY edition in about March time.
@adf86 Thanks for the info. I think waiting on the GOTY ed. might be what I do. Especially if March is the estimated timeframe as that’s not too far off.
@Rogueleader76 Man, I love that story. 😂 Sounds like something that would happen to me.
@Th3solution Well I'm guessing March but these fighters have been coming out every month since the game came out. We've got Hellboy this month then probably Atom in December, Enchantress in January then the Turtles in February. Plus there's Darkseid as the preorder character. So GOTY edition around March, April time cos in May Mortal Kombat 11 will probably be announced.
Movies are not comics and vice versa.
DC is the Xbox of comics.
Im not 100% but it might work like the other skins.
For instance John Stewart is the Green Lantern but looks different and has a different voice.
Same with Powergirl being a Supergirl skin and Bizarro, Superman.
Maybe the movesets will change with it too?
Guess that a little research is also a big no no, the reason they're adding Turtles is because of the Batman/TNMT crossover in the comics - you may not be interested in it but some people might.
Uh oh. You said something bad about a DC movie.
@ShogunRok 40 on metacritic is nowhere near trash.
@Deadlyblack Disliking a movie is fine, unnecessarily calling it "trash" most certainly does make you an edgelord. Mom's spaghetti.
@naruball Maybe not, doesn't change my opinion that I think it's a trash movie. Perfect internet hyperbole, I think, and clearly, it worked as intended.
