After appearing in Year Three of the Injustice Gods Among Us prequel comic book, Swamp Thing will be making his debut in fight game series as revealed in the gameplay trailer below.
The Avatar of the Green has some pretty awesome moves and stellar defense to make up for his lack of speed.
In regards to the Injustice storyline, Batman and Constantine attempted to recruit Swamp Thing in Year Three of Superman's global domination but were rebuked as Swamp Thing preferred how there was less oil drilling, deforestation and a greater reliance on solar and wind power under the High Councilor's totalitarian rule. However, with Braniac's arrival and the threat of the planet's destruction it looks as if Swamp Thing will finally take action.
