Chapter 4 - FLASH, Episode 3 - Future Shock | Injustice 2 | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

*Injustice 2* is a celebrated fighting video game that masterfully blends the rich lore of DC Comics with the sophisticated combat systems developed by NetherRealm Studios. Serving as a sequel to *Injustice: Gods Among Us*, the game plunges players into a world scarred by Superman's tyrannical rule, where Batman now strives to restore order amidst the remnants of the fallen regime and the rise of new threats like Gorilla Grodd's Society. The narrative takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of Brainiac, an intergalactic collector of worlds, who becomes the ultimate antagonist, forcing a reluctant alliance between Batman and the imprisoned Superman to save Earth. The game is further distinguished by its innovative Gear System, allowing players to customize characters not only visually but also through stat-altering equipment, and a robust "Multiverse" mode that offers endless challenges on alternate Earths, providing deep replayability alongside its acclaimed cinematic story. Chapter 4, titled "Invasion!", of *Injustice 2*'s story mode, dedicates significant focus to Barry Allen, The Flash, as he grapples with the consequences of his past affiliation with Superman's Regime and seeks redemption. Within this chapter, Episode 3, "Future Shock," presents a profound personal challenge for Barry. Despite being under a pardon that restricts his powers, Barry rushes to defend Metropolis from Brainiac’s devastating invasion. He finds himself battling Earth-based threats, notably Captain Cold and Deadshot, who are acting under duress. It is immediately after confronting Deadshot that a temporal anomaly manifests: the arrival of Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, who has journeyed from the future. The title "Future Shock" aptly describes the disorienting arrival of Thawne, who reveals a dire prophecy. He discovers that the timeline he has entered is irrevocably altered by the actions of the Superman Regime, specifically the death of one of his ancestors, creating a paradox that strands him. Unable to return to his own future, Thawne’s motivations shift from historical manipulation to nihilistic revenge. Driven by despair and an inherent animosity towards Barry, Thawne declares his intent to inflict pain on Barry, transforming the encounter into a deeply personal battle. The gameplay visually emphasizes their incredible speed, blurring the lines between cinematic storytelling and intense combat as they race through the devastated landscapes of Metropolis and Gotham. This mirror match tests the player's command of The Flash’s aggressive fighting style against an equally swift adversary. Upon Thawne’s eventual retreat, the narrative immediately transitions to a confrontation with Hal Jordan, reinforcing the chapter’s theme of former Regime members facing the specter of their pasts, while the Reverse-Flash remains a lingering menace. "Future Shock" masterfully pauses the grand scale of Brainiac's invasion to deliver a character-driven conflict that underscores the tragic, broken nature of the *Injustice* universe's timeline.
