If you're confused by Green Arrow's inclusion in
Injustice 2 after he died at the hands of Regime Superman in
Gods Among Us, recall that Doctor Fate brought over an alternate version of the hero to help battle Regime Superman during the events of the first game. This version of Oliver Queen comes from a world where his Black Canary died five years prior, creating a perfect scenario for him to enter into a relationship with the "normal dimension" Dinah Lance. He goes on to raise the son his alternate reality doppelganger left behind for Black Canary to raise alone when he was killed by Regime Superman at the Fortress of Solitude.
Also, at the 2:20 mark, some folks are claiming they're seeing Red Hood in the left corner, standing on stage with the rest of The Society. Others are claiming that it's merely just an alternate-skin for the previously announced Deadshot. Slow down the video, take a look for yourself and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Also, to the right of Poison Ivy at the 1:21 mark, you can make out Captain Cold in the right corner.

Ed Boon previously teased that Injustice 2 would have the largest cast on any previous NetherRealm release to date.
Injustice 2 is scheduled for release on May 16, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with Standard, Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Additions available for purchase. Beginning April 11, a digital comic book series will be released each week, written by Tom Taylor, which will serve as a prequel to the game's starting point.
As Batman and his Insurgency seek to capture the remaining members of Superman's Regime, Braniac arrives with a corrupted Supergirl to destroy the Earth. Complicating matters further is the rise of The Society, a secret group of supervillains with their own agenda for the planet.
