J'onn J'onzz, the shapeshifting, telepathic last-of-his-kind alien also known as Martian Manhunter, is now available as the fifth DLC fighter for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Injustice: Gods Among Us. No word on when/if J'onzz will make his way to the Wii U version, as has historically been the case with new DLC character releases for this game.
The price on J'onzz's head tallies up at 400 MS Points/$4.99, which also fits the status quo. It's worth mentioning, however, that he is not free for those that purchased the game's DLC Season Pass, which only acted as a voucher for the first four DLC characters: Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion and Zod. Carl Lumbly reprises his role as the voice of J'onzz, proving that there is at least a small amount of justice still left in the universe.
He's Martian, he hunts men, and he's coming to Injustice: Gods Among Us next week. The game's fifth DLC character has a date with PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday, July 30, so says the game's official Facebook page.
Martian Manhunter, AKA the equally brilliant moniker of J'onn J'onzz, was revealed as the first of the non-season-pass characters at EVO 2013 earlier this month. There's no news on a price - the preceding four newbies were priced $5/400 MSP - or when Wii U players can expect their portion of Martian.
Martian Manhunter is the fifth DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us, after NetherRealm made the announcement fans had long been j'onzzing for. As revealed at this weekend's EVO 2013 event, the extra-super-terrestrial is the next DLC character to sign up following the season pass inclusions of Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion, and General Zod. As for when he'll be touch down for the DC fighter, that's yet to be announced.
Injustice director Ed Boon also confirmed the impending arrival of a John Stewart skin for the Green Lantern, which Shoryuken reports features a new voiceover.
Long anticipated—practically since the game's release—Martian Manhunter was at last confirmed for Injustice: Gods Among Us as a downloadable addition to the fighting game's roster, along with a John Stewart Green Lantern skin. NetherRealm Studios announced the new fighters at EVO 2013 today.
When Injustice polled fans for their preferences for additional fighters back in the spring, Martian Manhunter was not one of the choices offered, supposedly because the games' creators knew he would dominate the voting. That lent an air of inevitability to his inclusion, even as the first four extras— General Zod, Lobo, Batgirl and Scorpion—came and went.
Well, now it's all a reality, announced today at EVO 2013. You can watch John Stewart keep up with Mr. J'onzz in that trailer above. Pricing for the DLC or its release date were not announced.

All of the downloadable costumes and characters for Injustice: Gods Among Us that PS3 and Xbox 360 players have been enjoying for the past couple of months are finally available on the Wii U, along with the Japanese Ame-Comi pack not yet available on other consoles. Hit up NeoGAF for a rundown of what's available.
In July, a pair of DLC items will be available to Injustice: Gods Among Us players: a new playable character in Zod and a Man of Steel skin for - well, the man of steel, Superman.
Zod, available as part of the Injustice: Gods Among Us season pass or as an individual download for $5, is shown off in the video above. The Man of Steel skin, available in July for 80 MS Points ($1) and plucked from this summer's Man of Steel film, can be seen past the break.
Being in the middle of its first round of closed beta testing hasn't stopped Turbine Entertainment's DC Universe MOBA, Infinite Crisis, from making the grade as an official Major League Gaming selection, the developer announced today in a joint release with the esports organization.
MLG will kick off the burgeoning relationship by streaming Infinite Crisis matches from Warner Brother's E3 booth, starting on the morning of Tuesday, June 11, and lasting through the rest of the conference. From there the game will be showcased at various events until it's fully released, at which point it will join the likes of League of Legends and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in MLG Pro Circuit tournaments.
Warner's other competitive DC Universe property, Injustice: Gods Among Us, was recently revealed as an official selection for this year's EVO2k fighting game tournament series in Las Vegas. At this rate, we expect Arkham Origins' rumored multiplayer mode will soon be announced as an event in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
The Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl is now available as a playable fighter in Injustice: Gods Among Us, provided you're willing to pony up the $4.99/400 MS Points required to download her; however, Season pass holder have already paid their dues. As we've seen previously, Batgirl's fighting style is a mixture of zoning capabilities and rushdown, rather than a carbon copy of Batman or Nightwing.
Two new costume packs are also available: The Red Son pack, which we've discussed at length, and the Killing Joke pack, which features new costumes from ol' Joker's finest hour. Both are available for $2.99/240 MS Points.
Accessible beat-'em-up that puts on a dazzling display. Comic fans will love its use of DC, but shallow gameplay puts this in the 'luxury purchase' bracket.
