Who is the first DLC character of 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'?

Released this week and making an impact for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U platforms, “Injustice: Gods Among Us” is a stellar example of a fighting game that's marketed with all the right reasons and living up to its potential. 

 

Developed by the same studio that delivered the 2011 blockbuster “Mortal Kombat” fighting game, NetherRealm Studios has landed a game that fans can be proud of. It also has a compelling tale that reads just like a comic book narrative and immerses the player into this version of the DC Universe.

 

Prior to the release of the game, Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Entertainment launched an online marketing campaign called “Injustice Battle Arena”. This was a web series aimed at attracting online viewers who actively participate in voting for DC Characters from the game that are pitted against one another in a tournament.

 

Different duel scenarios ran the course alongside videos depicting the skill sets of the various fighters. Participants were rewarded with freebies they could redeem for the game, as well as a weekly raffle with different prizes in store for fans who lived in the United States.

 

After 10 straight weeks of battles that saw heroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern dueling against one another, the last battle of the tournament came down to The Man Of Steel versus The Dark Knight himself. 

 

As the final card on the week prior to the game’s release, it was up to the fans to decide and cast their votes between Superman and Batman. 

 

In the end, The Caped Crusader triumphed over the Last Son of Krypton, and fans were treated to a recap of the Battle Arena experience. . .as well as the revelation of the first DLC character for “Injustice: Gods Among Us”. This character was Lobo. 

 

Better known as “The Main Man” to fans of the DC Universe, Lobo is an alien bounty hunter and mercenary created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. 

 

Known for his rude attitude and tough-as-nails demeanor, The ‘Bo travels and likes nothing more than violence and killing, often traveling across the galaxy and getting mixed up with familiar DC heroes, particularly Superman and the Justice League. 

 

Being the first DLC character announced, fans are going to be particularly excited for what's next in “Injustice”, with three more characters yet to be revealed. The game is also chalking out more alternate costume skins that fans will be excited for, including a “Batman Beyond” skin and the TV Series “Arrow”, patterned after the popular DC Comics’ superhero Green Arrow. – KDM, GMA News
