Today it was revealed Zatanna as the next DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Check it out below:


Zatanna will be available on August 13 on the Xbox Marketplace for 400 MS Microsoft Points and PlayStation Network with the price of $4.99. Zatanna is not included with the first Season Pass and since we know there will be no second Season Pass it's possible this may be the last DLC character we get for the game as we've yet to see any teases for a seventh or eighth character yet.

Also thanks to our friend Delriach for sending us a copy of the Press Release which we still do not get directly from Warner Bros. You can read the PR in it's entirety below.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released an all-new trailer revealing Zatanna as the next DLC character that will be available for the DC Comics fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us. Zatanna, the powerful magician known for casting spells by speaking backwards, will be available beginning Aug. 13 on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for 400 MS Microsoft Points and PlayStation®Network at a price of $4.99.

Developed by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, Injustice: Gods Among Us introduces a new franchise in the fighting game genre and a brand new story created in collaboration between NetherRealm Studios, DC Entertainment and comic book writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. As the story unfolds, players will experience the power, gadgetry and unparalleled strength of some of the most popular DC Comics heroes and villains, such as Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, The Joker and others, as they engage in epic battles in a world where the line between good and evil is blurred.

The sixth DLC character Zatanna is now available on Xbox 360 Marketplace and will be available soon for PlayStation 3. Check out the new Zatanna History Trailer below.



Also of note, that it was announced on last night's NetherRealm stream that there will be no balance patch to go along with Zatanna because it is still in development. I would expect it in another few weeks, once people find all of the issues with Zatanna post-launch.

Also the keen eye of darkgodalex over on Test Your Might noticed that there was a new Zod character file inside of the Zatanna Compatibility Update package. So I decided to take a look myself using Gildor's Unreal Model Viewer. I found a Zod Man of Steel style crest in the UI texture that is used for the player's super meter. Then I looked at the model file itself, and found his Man of Steel skin and a armored model to go along with it.

You can see it all below:

So unless this file's inclusion was a mistake, it appears we'll be getting a Man of Steel Zod skin for sale sometime soon. I'm guessing that he'll be able to be played along with the aforementioned upcoming balance patch. So stayed tuned for that official render and more info.

Update 8/14: Appears that Knightman2 on GameFAQs posted up a few screenshots of Zod hacked to work on his modded console which I posted one of below.





Knightman2 also says Zod currently has the same match intro and voice, so it's looking bad for a Michael Shannon voice for his character which is likely a cost issue and we instead get the regular Nolan North voice. This could change before release though, but I wouldn't bet on it.
