I had never even heard of The Atom until Injustice 2... obviously, I'm not much of a DC fan (or a fan of obscure and unsuccessful comics characters). Since I don't know much about him from the comics, I'll judge his appearance in Injustice 2, as a fighting game character. You know, my usual thing. Part of the reason I love fighting games is for the love of the animation, especially fighting animations. Actual fighting... something The Atom does not do. So, he turns into a little spec and moves around onscreen... okay, NetherRealm, you get some originality points. You  also get laziness points. Have you seen The Atom's animations in Injustice 2? This character took a whole 10 minutes to animate, because he doesn't do much, at all. He doesn't have any actual fighting animation. Turning himself into a glorified mouse curser doesn't impress me as a video game player or fighting game player. Other than that, he looks kinda cool in the game, I guess... but as a fighting game character? Meh. Especially meh since he's paid DLC.
