San Diego Comic-Con is on right now, and as is an annual tradition, plenty of new characters are being announced for fighting games. We already got confirmation that Juri will be challenging Street Fighter V next week, and now NetherRealm Studios has revealed that Wonder Woman and Blue Beetle will be joining Injustice 2's roster when it releases next year.
The Amazonian assault merchant is no surprise, seeing as there's a new movie coming out next year, but we've never actually heard of Blue Beetle; Wikipedia says that he was first introduced in 1939 – you learn something new every day. We still really like the look of this game, though Wonder Woman's hair needs work – we're getting PlayStation 2-era Triple H flashbacks here.
Still, the fighting looks supremely fun in that "bouncy" Mortal Kombat kind of way, and Gorilla Grodd is part of the lineup. What more could you want?

At least Wonder Woman doesn't look so beefed up now. And I'm probably alone in this but I would really like Booster Gold to be in the game.
Wonder Woman looks, well not like Wonder Woman. Blue Beetle is a blizzard choice. This version seems based on the latest incarnation of the character as seen in the Young Justice series and in the latest Justice League vs Teen Titans movie.
@adf86 Seconded. You really shouldn't have Blue Beetle without Booster Gold.
I might actually get this day one which is very rare for me to pick up a fighting game day one.
Wonder Woman's face tho.
Wonder Woman's face looks pretty bad
@DualWielding Yea, some of the faces in this game looks pretty bad, imo.:/ Supergirl looks kinda old and also like she's wearing a wig.
The Wonder Woman movie poster on the other hand looks pretty good, though.
She looks mint. Nice surprise for BB too, given with what's going on in Rebirth at the min. Can't wait for this one!
Now I wait for static shock or the comedian
new blue beetle comic out in august
