    The first add-on character for NetherRealm's Injustice: Gods Among Us is available for download today. Lobo is an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter, known for his love of space-cycles and cigars. Lobo is free to download for all Season Pass owners; everyone else pays 400 MS Points ($5) to add him to the roster. Lobo is the first of four planned DLC characters, soon to be followed by Batgirl. Three new DLC packs are also available for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The Teen Titans pack slaps alternate costumes on Cyborg, Raven and Deathstroke, while the Bad Girls pack groups together alternate versions of Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn – both are 240 MS Points ($3). Finally, the Flashpoint collection, previously exclusive to Season Pass holders, dresses up Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Deathstroke in their alternate dimension "Flashpoint" ensembles for 320 MS Points ($4).

    Sure, technically Lobo should win this fight, but something about Batman losing to The Main Man just doesn't feel right. At any rate, this trailer represents our first look at Injustice: Gods Among Us' first DLC character in action, showcasing Lobo's ranged chain whip/hook attacks, sawed-off shotgun and appropriately disrespectful super.This trailer also shows off a new Batman skin, specifically one based on the version Batman from the Flashpoint universe – Bruce's father Thomas Wayne, rather than Bruce himself. We've emailed Warner Bros. about the release window for Lobo and the new costume, and we figure more information will be available after an elaborate series of cross-franchise plot arcs and retcons.Update: NetherRealm creative director Ed Boon has announced on Twitter that Lobo will be available on May 7. No further information regarding Batman's new outfit has surfaced.

    Yup, Lobo. The Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC announcement was made by NetherRealm Studios creative director/Mortal Kombat mogul Ed Boon, during NetherRealm's extended wrap-up of its Battle Arena superhero popularity contest. No information was revealed regarding when Lobo will be available, though we can surmise from previous information that he'll probably cost about five dollars.Described as "a brawler, but a really fast brawler," Lobo is a ranged character that fights with his chains, according to Boon. After each fight, Lobo will return to his day job as an extra on the set of mid-90s television series Renegade. ... Okay, that last bit might be made up.
