Thanks to someone at Warner Bros. being a little too quick on the trigger, we’ve finally seen Red Hood in action for Injustice 2. Most likely being former Robin Jason Todd returned from the grave, Red Hood wields a deadly arsenal of explosive mines, shurikens and knives alongside his dual pistols.

Rather than being strictly a zoner much like Deadshot, Red Hood works best at the mid-range, mixing opponents up with his explosives and gun-kata style attacks. He has a forward dive which has him firing off both guns at once, along with an air throw where he sticks an opponent with a mine before detonating it. He even has a meter-burn special where he bounces an unloaded gun off his opponent, loads it and then shoots them in the face.

His trait seems to have him activating special shock pads on the bottom of his guns, turning them into tasers. Red Hood looks like he can activate these shock pads mid-string, allowing him to continue a combo. From first glance, I’m getting flashbacks to Batgirl’s shock gauntlets in the original Injustice and those are memories I would like to forget.

His super has Red Hood chucking his whole arsenal of weapons at his opponent. He blows them into the air with a grenade, juggles them with gunfire, attaches a mine to their back and then makes them explode with a well-placed bullet to the spine. There is truly no kill like overkill.

Based on the marketing material at the end of the trailer, Red Hood will be available in June for those who either already own the Injustice 2 Ultimate Editon, or have bought character pack 1.
