I absolutely adore Injustice: Gods Among Us, but I will admit there is a heavy influence of Batman heroes and villains. While we all would have loved to see Power Girl or various other characters in the game, the 2nd character announced for the game’s DLC is Batgirl. Focused on the Barbara Gordon version rather then Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown, the other two primary Batgirls of traditional DC continuity. Batgirl plays much faster then the Batman based characters and comes equipped with teleporting and grapple hook abilities, which will make her a force to reckon with against heavily ranged focused characters like Deathstroke and Harley Quinn.
Barbara, better known as Oracle those who follow the comics and played the Batman Arkham series, has had her moment in the spot light when Joker put a bullet in her spine in the classic Batman comic “The Killing Joke.” Joker will be getting a costume design based off of his appearance in “The Killing Joke” which has him in vacation garb. This was similar to the Flashpoint Batman costume that has come with the first DLC character, Lobo.
Also for those who are interested in purchasing new costumes for the game, The Bad Girl pack and the Teen Titan’s pack are out now for $2.99 each. Each features 3 costumes, the Bad Girl pack includes a Classic Harley Quinn outfit, Wonder Woman #600 outfit, and Catwoman’s Selena Kyle attire. While Teen Titans pack includes costumes for Cyborg, Raven, and Deathstroke based around the cartoon. You can check out Batgirl’s announcement trailer after the jump.
