Injustice 2: 15 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include

10. The Terminator

Yet another of Boon's given options for an appearance in NetherRealm's comic book spectacular, The T-800 (or the Governator, as he is more commonly known as these days) certainly seems like the Mortal Kombat-iest option on this list.

Indeed, there are plenty of reasons why the shotgun-wielding time-travelling cyborg would be a better fit for Boon's own franchise, but still, we should at least entertain the prospect of Arnie's most beloved role crossing over into the DC Universe. At least for a moment.

First off, the T-800 going up against Metallo would be a brilliant match-up. Secondly, the one-liners (boy oh boy those one-liners) are just dying to make it into an action title.

I mean, could you imagine the repartee between Arnie and The Flash? They're both time-travellers (albeit one is infinitely more speedy than the other), and the Terminator's social-awkwardness would be perfect for some truly banterous dialogue. That, and I'm looking for some fourth-wall breaks here.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
