Chapter 4 - FLASH, The Lantern Returns | Injustice 2 | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

Injustice 2, a critically acclaimed 2017 fighting game from NetherRealm Studios, masterfully blends DC Comics' iconic characters with deep, engaging combat and a compelling narrative. As a sequel to *Injustice: Gods Among Us*, it plunges players into an alternate DC universe still reeling from Superman's tyrannical rule. With its innovative gear system offering extensive character customization and a robust story mode, the game stands out as a significant achievement in the fighting genre. Chapter 4, a crucial part of this cinematic story, prominently features the return of Hal Jordan, now a Green Lantern, under the subtitle "The Lantern Returns." The chapter begins by showcasing Barry Allen, The Flash, living in exile after the fall of the Regime. He's under strict probation, forbidden from using his powers, but Brainiac’s invasion forces his hand. Driven by a desire for redemption, Barry violates his parole to protect innocent lives, marking his active return to heroism. His path is immediately obstructed by members of Gorilla Grodd's "The Society." He clashes with Captain Cold, who reminds Barry of the atrocities committed by the Regime, including the death of his sister. The fight is somber, highlighting the lasting trauma of past events. Following this, Deadshot, under duress from implanted explosives, injures Flash, emphasizing the theme of coercion versus choice in the chapter. The narrative takes a dramatic turn with the appearance of the Reverse-Flash, Eobard Thawne, a consequence of the Regime's actions. After a globe-spanning high-speed chase, Flash defeats Thawne, solidifying his commitment to present-day responsibility. The chapter culminates with the arrival of Hal Jordan. Initially viewed with suspicion by a guilt-ridden Barry, Hal claims to have been judged by the Guardians of the Universe and rehabilitated, reclaiming his Green Lantern status. Their ensuing fight is a symbolic clash of their journeys towards redemption. Upon defeating Hal, Barry reconciles with him, and Hal convinces Flash that they must unite against Brainiac. The chapter concludes with Flash and Green Lantern joining forces with Batman at the Batcave, preparing to face the alien threat, effectively transforming disparate heroes into a unified front.
