The superhero smack-down Injustice: Gods Among Us got two more obvious inclusions today: Joker and Green Lantern. This comes just after yesterday's announcement of Green Arrow, because DC Comics have a frankly odd amount of love for that color.

Creative director Ed Boon confirmed the inclusions on Twitter (via Joystiq) after box art (above) spilled the beans. On top of revealing the clown prince of crime and everyone's favorite magical space cop, Boon also promised that attendees of New York Comic Con can play as Catwoman and Green Arrow for the first time.

  just saying Green Lantern isn't specific enough. Best guess would be Hal or Kyle.

    you can see from the picture in the article it's hal. it's not a comic book site so i don't really expect them to know anything like that anyway.

    Hal, Kyle, John, Guy, Baz, or are they going to bust out the old school and now Earth 2 Alan?
    
    ... it's always Hal, though. He's the most recognizable.

      Eh, not always. The JL cartoon went with Jon, and the Superman cartoon before that with Kyle.

        ... okay, it's always Hal unless they need a black dude or an ambiguously gay dude, but not the out-and-about gay dude.

        Usually, not always. I'd love it if in a violent game like this they just went "Fuck it, we're using Ch'p!"

  How do you do a superhero with the power to create virtually anything out of cosmic energy using will power and his fancy space ring in a video game without reducing him to Green PEW PEW lasers, Green SHIELD, Green MELE and Green fly around the screen?
  
  I like Green Lantern,but he's gonna get nerfed in a video game.

    You've got Superman and all sorts of other things in there too that have to get nerfed to batman power levels more or less.
