Jason Todd, or as he prefers himself to be known as Red Hood, makes his way to Injustice 2 on June 13, 2017 for anyone who has purchased the Fighters 1 Pack DLC or bought the Injustice 2 Deluxe Edition of the game. A single character DLC purchase for Red Hood will be available one week later. Yay for packs/passes?

A recent update to Injustice 2 added a whole bunch of silhouettes to the character select screen, with Red Hood front and center as the first DLC character to be offered. As mentioned before, players who purchased Fighters Pack 1 DLC or the Deluxe edition of Injustice 2 will get Red Hood alongside Sub Zero and Starfire. Other characters we can notice in the character select screen (shown below) are Black Manta, The Atom, Raiden, Sub Zero & Starfire. There are 3 more characters in that line up that have yet to be announced or rumored.
