Earlier this week at Gamescom 2017, NetherRealm Studios finally revealed the next 3 DLC characters that will be coming to Injustice 2 as part of Fighter Pack 2. The first new fighter we will be receiving is Black Manta. Aquaman’s arch-nemesis will be bringing his large assortment of weapons to the battlefield when he arrives in September; we see him equipped with shoulder rocket launchers, as well as his signature harpoon gun in the trailer. In order to build up more hype for his official gameplay reveal this Sunday, August 27th, at 4:00 PM PT, Ed Boon has tweeted out our first in-game screenshot of Manta.

Set within the Slaughter Swamp stage, he is blasting Swamp Thing with eye lasers from his helmet, similar to Predator’s Plasma Shots from his Hish-Qu-Ten variation, seemingly implying that he could be a strong zoning character. Regardless, all will be revealed on Sunday night. You can see the tweet and photo below.

Are you excited about Black Manta being confirmed for Injustice 2 — potentially with a zoning-heavy gameplan — or are you hoping he’ll be more of an offensive, vortex-heavy character to stand out as a larger contrast to Aquaman’s more defensive-wall style of play? Or do you want him to be something else entirely? Give us your thoughts and predictions in the comments below, and don’t forget to tune in Sunday night for his official gameplay reveal at https://www.twitch.tv/netherrealm.
