Dinosaurs, ancient Egypt and time paradoxes are all part of the Flash's time-traveling finishing move in Injustice 2.

The Flash faces off with the leader of the Society, Gorilla Grodd, in the latest tease of gameplay footage from the anticipated "Injustice 2" fighting game.

In addition to showcasing the Scarlet Speedster's combat skills, the introduction trailer showcases Barry Allen's unique finishing move. Not content to simply pummel his opponent into submission, the Flash grabs Grodd by the nape of the neck, drags him through time twice. In the process, the hero knocks the nose off of the Sphinx and slams the villain into a Tyrannosaurus Rex before bringing him back to the present where he uses Grodd as a weapon against himself, time paradoxes, be damned!

Once known as the fastest man alive, Barry Allen has hung up his boots in public shame after defecting from the Regime. However as a new enemy threatens the innocent, the Flash returns to action, determined to redeem himself.

Developed by NetherRealm for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the sequel to the hit 2013 video game “Injustice: Gods Among Us” continues the storyline, with Batman and his allies work toward putting the pieces of society back together while struggling against those who want to restore Superman’s regime. However, in the midst of that chaos, a new threat appears that will put Earth’s existence at risk.

“Injustice 2” features such playable characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Gorilla Grodd and Blue Beetle, with arenas in DC Universe locations like Gotham City, Metropolis and Atlantis.
