More Details Given About Brainiac for Injustice 2
Just last week we told you that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios had officially confirmed that Brainiac will be one of the big bad villains for Injustice 2, and today they have released a brand new look at Brainiac in an awesome new trailer.
While Injustice: Gods Among Us gave us Superman as the main villain. Bringing Brainiac to Injustice 2 was a fantastic move, as it will unite some of the heroes and villains in an attempt to kick Brainiac’s ass. Instead of a black and white narrative, Brainiac will add a completely different dynamic to the sequel, and it’s exciting! In case you don’t quite know who Brainiac is, he is a DC Comics supervillain who first appeared in an issue back in July of 1958. He’s known as one of Superman’s main enemies, and is responsible for stealing Kandor, the capital of Krypton.
Check out the overview of Brainiac provided by NetherRealm Studios below.
“Brainiac is a megalomaniacal genius who roams the universe, collecting knowledge to increase his intellectual and scientific prowess. Obsessed with establishing his superiority, Brainiac captured Krypton’s greatest cities, then eradicated what remained…or so he thought. Tales of the “Last Son of Krypton” have reached far into the stars. Now, the Collector of Worlds comes to Earth to finish his accumulation of Krypton — and discovers a new world worthy of his collection.”
Injustice 2 will be released on May 16, 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Check out the newest trailer for Brainiac below and keep it locked for updates as they become available!
