Injustice 2: 15 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
5. Judge Dredd
Rebellion
The most infamous vanguard of sci-fi law enforcement (yes, even more-so than Robocop), Joseph Dredd is no ordinary enforcer of the law - he's judge, jury, and, when the occasion calls for it, executioner. Not really someone to give any backchat if you find yourself saddled with a parking ticket.
Having made hundreds of appearances for 2000 AD, Dredd's antics in Mega City One have endeared many a geek's heart over the years. His appearance in 2012's Dredd - a film that, tragically, came to represent the epoch of under-appreciated comic book cinema - only reiterated the character's narrative clout along with his on-screen credentials. The leap to current-gen consoles, then, shouldn't be too much of a stretch to make. And if anyone's going to embrace the character first, it should really be NetherRealm.
Gameplay would be pretty self-explanatory, considering he's anything but your atypical action anti-hero. He uses guns and punches dudes in the face. Not too complicated really, is it?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
