The latest volley in the marketing assault for Injustice: Gods Among Us reveals Sinestro as a playable character. Not much can be seen of Sinestro's move set in the source video, an omission that will be corrected this Friday when developer NetherRealm unleashes its next weekly fight footage.

Sinestro is a long-running villain from the Green Lantern universe, the mentor of Hal Jordan who sometimes takes up the role of anti-hero - but with a name like Sinestro, of course he's mostly a bad guy. Hawkgirl is also confirmed to be a playable character in the update, not to be confused with popular DC heroes HawkWoman, HawkMan, HawkDog, HawkCat or HawkHawk.

Both figures' roles in the plot of Injustice is yet to be determined - as you know, Injustice: Gods Among Us tells the "what if" scenario of Superman losing it after The Joker unleashes a nuclear attack on Metropolis, presumably killing Supes' main squeeze, Lois Lane.
