The new, hit superhero fighting game Injustice 2 gives people more customization than ever for their favorite heroes and villains. You can unlock different gear to increase attributes, but the skins (colors, in most cases) are simply for looks. It was a difficult task to come up with the best character skins in the game, so default ones (ex: all-black Batman) were not included, and each character was allowed only one skin—or else the entire list probably would have comprised of The Dark Knight and Superman. I went with 12 skins because there are 12 chapters in the Injustice 2 story mode.
Bane – Dark Genius (Alternate)
There were different colors of venom for Bane that looked good, but it’s hard to go against he typical green look. The beast that broke Batman’s back is as imposing as any other character in Injustice 2.
Green Lantern – Death
Green Lantern has 19 total skins, and a lot of them could have been chosen, but there is something about black that is just really cool. The mask kind of makes him look like the Court of Owls’ assassins in Gotham.
Harley Quinn – Waller’s Jester (Alternate)
Any Clemson football fans reading? Harley Quinn looks like a hardcore fan of the 2016 National Champion Tigers here with the orange and purple outfit, though her hair probably needs a new color.
Doctor Fate – Prophet of Order
Black and gold really go well together, especially when it comes to superheroes. Doctor Fate would probably fit in well guarding The Pope or a king with this look—and his superpowers of course.
The Flash – Reverse Flash
Reverse Flash is someone The Flash encounters in the story mode of Injustice 2, and he has opposite colors and an opposite logo. The speed is the same no matter what The Flash wears, though.
Aquaman – Son of Atlantis
Diverging from the usual blue/green colors of Aquaman, the ruler of Atlantis looks a little more intimidating in black and red.
Wonder Woman – Flashpoint Princess (Alternate)
As stated, black and gold really works for superheroes, and that includes Wonder Woman. Like with Batman and Superman coming up, the normal look is probably the best, but this is still an awesome outfit.
Deadshot – Golden Age
The same is probably true for Deadshot, who looks best in the uniform that Will Smith wore in Suicide Squad, but is still the world’s best shot wearing darker colors. The white mask is key to Deadshot’s look.
Robin – Red Robin
Is this Assassin’s Creed or Injustice 2?
Supergirl – Girl of Steel (Alternate)
The Girl of Steel (Alternate) is just a little bit different than Supergirl’s normal look, The Girl of Steel. This character skin looks more like Superman’s outfit in Man of Steel because the colors are toned down.
Batman – Classic Crusader (Alternate)
There were many different ways the choice for Batman’s best skin could have gone, but the classic look is hard to top. The blue and yellow go great together, and his bat symbol remains black, as it should be.
Superman – Sacrificial Son
The black Superman outfit has always been sick, and things are no different in Injustice 2. Will we see the Man of Steel don the black attire in the DC Extended Universe?
