Injustice 2 - Predicting 15 Essential Characters That Must Be Included

13. Green Lantern

The Green Lantern Corps are fast becoming one of DC's biggest properties. Once consigned to the inner circles of the most fervent of fanboys out there, the adventures of Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Kyle Rainer have all managed to find a much wider audience than originally intended. Consequently, an appearance on Injustice is pretty much guaranteed, as they've been among the other characters spotted on that tie-in merch shirt.

I'd much prefer it if Hal Jordan wasn't the main Lantern this time around. He's just an incredibly dull character, and I found his character arc last time to be one of the game's key flaws. If we could have John Stewart, who we all know is the Green Lantern to everyone who watched the Justice League animated series, that would be so much better.

Or, maybe, NetherRealm could just go with an entirely different Lantern Corps altogether. There are about eight of them, and considering we've already seen Atrocitus make his way in, who's to say that Star Sapphire won't too?

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.
