Trailing the release of the Suicide Squad movie, Harley Quinn and Deadshot are the latest characters to be revealed for NetherRealm Studio’s Injustice 2. Harley Quinn was a shoo-in since she is a fan favorite, but the addition of Deadshot is interesting. Yes, his character has been quite well-liked recently with Will Smith bringing the character to life on the big screen, but what implications does this have for having our other favorite mercenary in the game, Deathstroke? Their move-sets seem so similar that I can’t imagine both of them making the roster. As Ed Boon mentioned in an interview at San Diego Comic Con, they are trying to have at least 50{3a19833c997fa52158a43c449fe089ff048ac0506a335cac10721cfa396ff282} Injustice 2’s roster to be completely new characters, so bringing back Deathstroke would be a waste of a potentially new character slot.
