In case you guys were wondering about Dex-Starr's backstory:
Dex-Starr was originally a single woman's cat named Dexter, whom he loved as much as she loved him. One day someone broke into her home, and although Dexter attacked the intruder with his claws but he couldn't stop him. Dexter's owner was brutally murdered. When the police eventually arrived and saw Dexter they kicked him out of the house, yelling, "Scram!" as they said they didn't want him to ruin the crime scene. As he found a place to sleep, sad and alone, two hoodlums found him and shoved him into a sack, and he was thrown into the river. Feeling the rage and sorrow in his heart, Atrocitus called out to him making him the Red Lantern "Dex-Starr" with Dexter soon using the ring to exact revenge against the two men who had placed him into a sack before attempting to throw it into a river. Afterwards, Dex-Starr flies back to his late owner's apartment and cuddles by her lifeless body crying and says, "I find who hurt you. I kill. I good kitty."

32:24 I love how in a room full of supers, batman still commands the room with ease

[diegopansini]

About Firestorm, he’s super OP. He could solve half the world’s problems, but DC likes keeping him tucked away for some reason

[SmartyArtNegro]

The Lanterns are powered by the emotional spectrum so the users are tapping into a certain emotion to use their ring.
Green-Will
Yellow-Fear
Red-Anger
Orange-Greed
Blue-Hope
Violet-Love
Indigo-Compassion
White-Life
Black-Death

[b.a.p.]

You got the name right. Reverse Flash is his arch enemy, like Joker to Batman. His outfit is always yellow. They featured him on the CW show. Same power set, killed Barry’s mom. Captain Cold is also a popular enemy.

[zangetsu]

"Fuck Off, Damian!" became my most used phrase when playing Injustice 2.

[milkiassamuel]

13:18 Atrocitus is actually a Green Lantern villain and the leader of the *Red Lanterns*, a Lantern Corps *powered by the emotion of rage*, as the Green Lanterns are powered by will, and the Yellow Lanterns are powered by fear. In DC comics Green Lantern lore is incredibly interesting and the majority of Lantern stories are complex deep dives into the validity and importance of our emotions personified through these different coloured lantern corps. *Green Lantern stories are especially some of the best DC stories* as they feel so massive and epic in complex storytelling and worldbuilding, especially *the Geoff Johns Green Lantern comic run that was groundbreaking for the character and introduced the concept of different emotional Lantern colours* . Green Lantern is literally DC's Star Wars, which has yet to be adapted on the big screen. It's truly sad because they could make an entire sci-fi film saga surrounding the Green Lantern mythos

Different Lantern Corps/Emotional Spectrum:

*Red = Rage*
*Orange = Greed*
*Yellow = Fear*
*Green = Will*
*Blue = Hope*
*Indigo = Compassion*
*Violet = Love*

*Black = Death*
*White = Life*

[SmartyArtNegro]

Blue Beetles are a lineage
Dan Garrett-found scarab and used its powers to fight crime
Ted Kord-couldn't use scarab so relied on technology
Jaime Reyes-fused with scarab into a alien tech based hero

[VforVictory]

Part of the Reverse-Flash's reason for existing despite the timeline change is because he can use the negative speedforce and travel outside of the multiverse and timelines and because he did so while the timeline changed, he became a living paradox

[toddvergith]

Firestorms' powers are actually really op. He can literally manipulate matter down to the atoms and create anything out of something else simply by rearranging the atoms. That's how he was able to create the kryptonite. By rearranging the atoms in the air around his hands. He's one of my favorites.

[VetroMatt]

2:55 long story short. Thawne admired The Flash, duplicated how Barry got his powers, became a Flash, but then found out he was meant to become the Reverse Flash spent years hating Barry, decided to change the timeline to try to make sure Barry would never become The Flash so went back in time and killed Barry's mother and they've been enemies for decades and centuries in some cases

[milkiassamuel]

3:06 This right here is what live-action speedster fights should look and feel like!
This is the type of choreography we should've gotten in The Flash (2023).
Hopefully, the DCU had speedster fights look and feel as impactful as this fight was, with dynamic choreographed movement.
BTW the speedster in yellow is named *Eobard Thawne/aka The Reverse Flash* who is actually Flash's archenemy and greatest enemy, he is possibly one of the most psychotic and pettiest villains in fiction, he's a time traveller from the 25th century who was once a massive Flash fan, but after Flash met him in the future and after Barry instilled hope that he could be just like him, Thawne was eager to prove himself to his hero, so he replicated Flash's suit and triggered the same accident that gave Barry his powers, but instead he was connected to the Negative Speedforce. THawne quickly discovered that in his new future, the Flash's greatest enemy was actually destined for him after visiting the Flash museum and discovering his entire existence and purpose was to be the villain to his greatest hero and have no way of changing his fate, this alone broke him mentally and thus embraced his future, but with a burning, unfathomable hatred for Barry, using his time travel abilities to screw with Barry's entire life just for the sick pleasure of it, he killed Barry's mom, pushed Barry down some stairs as a child, erased Barry's only childhood friend from history just so Barry could be an introverted outcast, killed Barry's dog, framed his dad for murdering his mom and continued to do countless deplorable things just to piss off Barry and to make sure their predetermined future is set as rivals. Thawne is very similar to Syndrome from The Incredibles. Thawne is the definition of a menace and actually makes the Joker look like an amateur compared to the unforgivable things he's done.

13:24 Dex-Starr the cat looks like a joke character but he actually has one of the darkest backstories in comic book history.

He’s an abandoned stray domestic cat from Earth, adopted by a woman in Brooklyn who names him Dexter. During a break-in, Dex-Starr scratched a burglar before his owner was killed and he was evicted by the police. Homeless, he was grabbed by two street thugs and thrown off the Brooklyn Bridge, but the rage that he felt caught the attention of a red power ring and it came to him before he hit the water. As a member of the Red Lantern Corps, wearing his red power ring around his tail, he killed the two thugs and slept on their skulls, proclaiming himself to be a "good kitty" using thoughts expressed in simple sentences. He was described by Geoff Johns in an interview with Wizard as "the most sadistic and malicious" of the Red Lanterns. Originally intended as a joke by Shane Davis, he began being featured more prominently due to positive reception. Dex-Starr frequently travels with Atrocitus, with his vengeful quest centering on finding the burglar that murdered his owner

[JayXYT]

Ain't no way in hell he didn't know who the reverse flash was😭omg bro😭😭

[EggBoi_]

13:49 yes the cat is a red lantern. All thanks to super man I believe. It’s a earth kitty that had its family taken from it. And a red ring felt his hate and rage.

[biswojyoti]

One thing everyone can agree on, Tom cavanagh played reverse flash to perfection

[thedarkknight]

I wish that whoever made this cutscene video used all the playable characters in the story mode, like Black Canary or Blue Beetle. They are top tier characters in the game for a reason!

[TimedRevolver]

Red Lanterns are really not to be trifled with. Their anger is so all-consuming that when they get the ring, their blood is replaced by a burning corrosive liquid instead. It's also why most don't survive leaving the Corps.

Think only Supergirl and Guy Gardner have managed it thus far. Excluding events like Blackest Night, of course.

EDIT: Jeffrey Combs is an amazingly talented actor, on screen and just voice acting. He was Dr. Herbert west in the horror film Re-Animator. He also voiced The Question in the Justice League animated series. He was the guy with no face and dressed like a noir detective.

EDIT 2: Firestorm is two people, like you saw. The doctor is the brain, Jason is the brawn. He's not dumb by any means, but their powers need a genius mind to utilize them fully.

[Kizaru]

The thing that you guys have to remember is that INJUSTICE 2 is here to tell its own story whilst introducing you to characters you may have never heard of before. A new audience is supposed to be able to get the gist of who these characters are and what they can do. So don't fret if you feel like you're supposed to have done some homework, because you're not. These games were made in a way to introduce new audiences to these characters. And they do a pretty good job.

[meximoan]

I looove this Aquaman, I love that they embrace the comics
