1. Atrocitus: First of all, the guy and his cat look cool. Finding them on the character select screen of Injustice 2 is like Christmas coming early because I’m already intrigued at what they possibly can do. Add in his back story as the leader of the Red Lantern Corps and you have one of the best DC villains.
2. The Joker: The eternal archnemesis of Batman is beloved at GI for many reasons, but generally his history of chaos is the driving reason. No matter who portrays him – Jack Nicholson is our favorite version – the character still makes us laugh until we can’t.
3. Batman: Of course, if the Joker is on this list, you know Batman is as well. Batman – Bruce Wayne only – is our favorite DC hero for a long list of reasons, and be rest assured that they don’t involve how much prep time he has. Batman doesn’t need prep time. He’s just that dangerous with a little money in his pocket.
4. Darkseid: The Apokolips villain appears on a few lists here at GI when it comes to favorite DC characters, mostly because he’s a bad dude. Anyone who employs a person named Granny Goodness is entitled to a bad dude label. Also, the Omega Sanction is one of the coolest named and actual moves ever created in comic books.
5. Black Adam: The supervillain is one of a kind, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s now being drawn to look like The Rock. Strong enough to take on Superman and cocky enough to hold his own also, Black Adam has enough swagger to take down the Justice League and mean it.
