Gamescom 2016: Harley Quinn & Deadshot Confirmed For Injustice 2

NetherRealm's relationship with Warner Bros. is the partnership that just keeps on giving, and this latest trailer for Injustice 2 can only be confirmation of that fact.

While it may be clear that anything Suicide Squad related could be considered damaged goods right about now, NetherRealm are injecting their sequel to 2013's surprise hit with a healthy dose of Harley and Deadshot - the two main leads from Warner's latest critical flop. If anything's at all clear however, it's that the banal mediocrity of the studio's August release is nowhere to be found here.

I mean come on, just look at how pretty this all is.

My absolute favourite part from this trailer has to be the presence of Bud and Lou - Harley's ever faithful pet Hyenas. The last time we saw them in the medium they had been stuffed and put on display in Penguin's Arkham City museum, so to see them alive and chomping at the bit to feast on Atrocitius is pretty fabulous to say the least.

Deadshot also looks to be replacing Deathstroke this time around, taking an immense arsenal to his foes with a wide array of pistols and rifles, as well as his trademark wrist cannons. Slade Wilson, eat your heart out.

Injustice 2 is promising a much larger roster this time around, so be sure to be on the lookout for further reveals in the coming months.
