I love when they do stuff like this, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are doing it right, celebrating Superman's 80th anniversary on Injustice 2 for mobile by adding Classic Superman to the roster. Inspired by Superman's first appearance ever in Action Comics #1, he's got the goofy shield on his chest, red trunks and all that! Classic Superman pays homage to the cultural icon's first appearance 80 years ago with unique fighting abilities that lower the defense of his opponent while damaging the entire team. I guess their defense is lowered by realizing they are getting their ass kicked by an 80 year old in a goofy costumed man wearing underwear on the outside.
The anniversary celebration continues during a special in-game event where Classic Superman invades the popular game mode, The Arena, for a limited time. Classic Superman will not invade every battle but when he does, players will have the chance to receive Hero Shards if they defeat him. Check out the pics below, these look great. I can't wait to beat the ensure out of this geriatric.
Injustice 2 for mobile is available for free on the App Store for iPad and iPhone and on Google Play for Android devices.
