In other news, two new DC characters are set to appear in "Injustice 2" as Katana and Animal Man will likely be added to the roster.

He received his powers when he ran into a morphogenic field called "The Red," allowing him to tap any animal abilities in the world and universe. His inclusion to "Injustice 2" could give players an interesting skill set.
