Injustice 2 Supergirl

The video game Injustice 2 is coming out soon, pitting the heroes of the DC universe against each other. And, in a sign that perhaps she is becoming more popular, Supergirl is a character within the game and promoted strongly in some of the earliest sneak peeks.

Now, I can't remember the last time that I felt I was a true video gamer. Since the last system I played in my house was the first XBox, it has to be 12 years. So take that as you will.

Also, I'm not a big fan of the concept of Injustice. Given the main premise is that Superman has gone evil, it isn't something that I would embrace.

But these Injustice 2 promotional videos are beautiful to look at, even if I don't know if I would want to play it. First off, head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDav-JfidL0

The opening part of the issue has members of the Justice League brawling with each other.

Superman vs. Flash!
Batman vs. Aquaman!
Superman vs. Batman!

And it seems that with each time a character 'dies', they are brought back in more powerful armor. It seems very Saiyan! Or 90's!

Anyways, the video ends on an interesting note. Superman wades in to finish off Batman, angry red eyes angrily glowing with anger.

But Superman is blasted away.

And then we see another set of angry red eyes!

It's Supergirl!

I have to say she looks pretty slick!

And I sort of like that she is standing up to an evil Kal.

I even like that she is sporting her sort of special S-shield. I like that tie-in to the comics.

This video ends with all the heroes running towards each other to brawl.

So not one super-villain in this tease. Just heroes trying to kill each other. And I mean, Aquaman skewers Batman with his trident. No punches pulled.

Still, as a Supergirl fan who lived through decades of her being forgotten or laughed at or gone, I have to like that she is one of five characters highlighted here.

Not Catwoman. No Wonder Woman. No Harley Quinn. Not Green Lantern.

Supergirl! Hooray.

For even more Supergirl in Injustice 2, head to IGN.com here for another video:

This one really showcases Supergirl!

We see her in her Linda/Kara Danvers secret identity. This is pure Linda Lang from the Gates/Igle run and definitely seems to have some Melissa Benoist in her!

She is approached by Atrocitus and Dex-Starr who claim she is weak. She tosses her glasses in the air, runs away ...

And returns in her Supergirl costume in time to catch her glasses before they hit the ground.

"I punch above my weight!" she retorts. Fantastic!

Again, she looks great.

We get a lot more actual game footage in this video. And we get to see heroes fighting villains! Aquaman takes on Gorilla Grodd! Superman fights Atrocitus!

And Supergirl fights Atrocitus.

I wish I could grab a better pic of her game costume. She is wearing a pant-suit version of the costume. I does look good. And since we see her getting tossed around on these games, I suppose it eliminates the concern for up-skirt shots.

Anyways, I don't think this will get me to play video games. But I hope if someone here does end up playing it, they'll let me know about it.
