In 1988, within the graphic novel The Killing Joke, the Joker attempted to make Commissioner Gordon to lose his mind. In this process, Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) is shot and paralyzed. In Injustice: Gods Among Us, the developer have decided to give Batgirl a second chance and a shot at the Joker. In the newest video, this very confrontation is set up. The Joker, hilariously, is even wearing the costume that he has on in the graphic novel when he shoots her.
The point of this history lesson is that Batgirl is the next downloadable character in Injustice. Lobo was soooo yesterday, Batgirl is now! In the video, she appears to be quite the deceptive character; she relies a lot on her grapple gun to hold and hit her foes from all angles. I, for one, never want to get launched into the sky, dropped, then have batheels dig into my spine. No thank you.
Check out the video above and get excited for Batgirl in Injustice. She’ll be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points and PlayStation Network at a price of $4.99. The date of release is unknown still.
