Maybe it’s his costume, maybe it’s his awesome laser eyes or maybe it’s because his origin story is incredibly sad, but I’ve always liked Black Manta even if I’m not the biggest fan of Aquaman. The firstInjusticewas severely lacking on heroes and villains from the big blue, so when it was confirmed fishboy’s arch nemesis would be part ofInjustice 2, I really started to pay attention....

Bodycount lets you ‘kick the ass out of the world’

Yes, “kick the ass out of the world” is a real thing thatBodycountart director Max Cant has said, and I love it.
