Still, in some cases, a few players are holding out hope that a few small in-game references will lead to full-fledged appearances of some fan favorite characters down the line. Occasionally, Flash will also tell both both Green Arrow and Supergirl-who also has her own CW show-that they should "cross over," just like the three shows do every year on television. In addition, after beating Green Arrow for good, sometimes Flash will tell his on-again, off-again ally that he needs to spend more time on the "salmon ladder," referencing Arrow star Stephen Amell's impressive on-screen workout routine. She also spent the better part of two seasons as Oliver Queen's girlfriend and, later, fiancée, although she ultimately dumped the Emerald Archer after he lied to her about having a son (because it's not the CW without a little bit of soapy drama). If the Flash clears Green Arrow's first life bar in one-on-one combat, the speedster will say, "That's for breaking Felicity's heart." For those not in the know, Felicity Smoak is a character who debuted in Arrow's first season (the name was borrowed from an existing comic book character, but otherwise, the two have very little in common), who helped Team Arrow fight crime with her elite hacking skills. After depleting an enemy's life bar, Poison Ivy quotes Batman & Robin, saying, "So many people to kill, so little time," and she taunts Robin by saying "One kiss for luck," just like in the film (sadly, so far there's been no sign of the Bat Credit-Card, although it's early days yet). Occasionally, Catwoman quips, "I feel so much yummier now," which is one of her lines from Batman Returns.

Not only does Michael Keaton's iconic batsuit get its own, special display case in the Batcave level (check the left side of the stage), but the game is crammed full of nods to Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin.ĭuring Batman's super move, the Bat of Gotham, the Caped Crusader straps his opponent to a balloon and sends them to the stratosphere, where the Batwing arrives in a shot lifted directly from Tim Burton's first Batman adventure.
The Metropolis Mammoths, the city's hockey team, has appeared in various pieces of Superman lore over a number of a decades.Īnd yet, while Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is probably the most popular of all of Batman's big-screen adaptations, the folks at NetherRealm Studios seem to be particularly fond of the '90s Batman quadrilogy, which started in 1989 with Tim Burton's Batman (a classic) and ended in 1997 with Batman & Robin (not so much).

The Metropolis University Bulldogs appeared in the Superman prequel series Smallville, while the Meteors are Metropolis' football and baseball teams in pre-Crisis Superman comics. The Tigers, for example, were Metropolis' football team in the '90s rom-com Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. As a respectable sports bar, the Ace O' Clubs is full of banners celebrating local sports teams, and each one refers to a different piece of Superman lore.
Bibbo, Superman's number one fan, and the Ace O' Clubs tavern were a big part of the late '80s and early '90s Superman comics, back in the days when Doomsday, ill-advised mullets, and Lex Luthor clones plagued the Last Son of Krypton. The first is the Ace O' Clubs bar, where the establishment's proprietor, Bibbo Bibbowski, watches from behind the bar as the world's finest duke it out right in front of him. Like many of Injustice 2's levels, Metropolis is split into two parts.
