Warner Bros. and Netherrealm are holding a virtual tournament for Injustice, the results of which are being decided by fans. Below you can see the videos of Bane taking on Batman, along with a match between Wonder Woman against Harley Quinn.

The videos show off on how the game’s destructible elements and environmental hazards will work. It may be a classic, falling down a pit, breaking through multiple areas, interactive environments such as causing sparks by shooting a tv or just grabbing the tv and bashing it against your opponents head. There will also be interactive characters in some stages such as attack from Killer Crock or the Penguin .

You can cast your vote on the next winners by visiting the game’s official site.

Here’s the match from Batman VS. Bane

And now the one of Wonder Woman taking on Harley Quinn

As can see from the videos Both Batman and Wonder Woman have made it to the Quarter Finals. With the next 2 rounds, you can vote for the newly announced Shazam vs. The Flash, and Joker Vs. Lex Luthor. My moneys on Shazam and Joker. Currently we are still in round 1 of the matches with another 4 more matches left after the next 2 winners are decided.

Injustice Gods Among Us is set to have a fighting roster full of big iconic and fan favorite DC characters and has been mentioned that will be expanded via DLC. The current Confirmed List of Characters Include:

Bane
Batman
Catwoman
Cyborg
Deathstroke
Flash
Green Arrow
Green Latern
Harley Quinn
Joker
Lex Luthor
Nightwing
Shazam
Solomon Grundy
Superman
Wonderman

Ed Boon mentioned that DC Comics had given Netherrealm a huge amount of leeway and freedom with their properties, so they can put their own spin on how they want certain characters. It was also revealed that several other characters from the DC Universe will also appear as non-player characters, making cameo appearances in story cutscenes, stages, and other game modes. So some of the rumored characters seen in the videos such as Killer Crock, Riddler, Penguin, Hawkgirl and such may or may not be in the game as playable characters, at least not day one .

Hopefully more will be revealed via the tournament. Let us know on what you think of the list so far and who you would like to see added in the comments below.
