Joker, Green Lantern confirmed for Injustice

Injustice: Gods Among Us creative director Ed Boon confirmed Joker and Green Lantern in the game, after the box art leaked word yesterday.

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!"

                Ch'p died :( Hit by yellow truck on Mosaic world. Replace by another native of H'lvn.

          Hal as Parallax would be the best

            Only really as a boss, though.

        Guy Gardner would actually make me consider the game. Well...not really.

          This is a fighting game, isn't it? It'll have all 3600 of them.

      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.
