Deadshot appears as a cameo character in Injustice: Gods Among Us, and as a playable character in the mobile game Injustice: Gods Among Us Mobile and in Injustice 2. He is one of Batman's nemesis.

Biography

Deadshot is a hired assassin and the world's greatest marksman. Being a mercenary, he'll commit any murder for the right price because of a notorious suicidal death wish. Despite this, he works very hard to protect his estranged ex-wife Susan Lawton and his daughter Zoe Lawton. He has been a member of Checkmate, the Killer Elite, the Secret Six and the Suicide Squad.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Deadshot appears in Stryker's Island, taking cover behind a pillar and periodically exchanges shots with the guards. 

In Harley Quinn's S.T.A.R. Labs Missions, Deadshot ambushes Quinn, targeting her with missiles and grenades, preventing her from interrogating him about the Joker's apparent death.

Injustice 2

Prior to the events of Injustice 2, Deadshot was found and captured by Gorilla Grodd, who had implanted a nano explosive within Deadshot's head, and would be detonated should Deadshot not join the Society. The mercenary does, being the only unwilling member.

He is first seen at Slaughter Swamp, telling Scarecrow to order his men to pick up the pace in loading up the boats with Fear Toxin. Scarecrow assures him that his men will finish. Once Poison Ivy captures a spying Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Harley Quinn, Scarecrow sends him off.

He is then seen onstage during Grodd's speech and after the speech, tell him that they're ready to move out, with Grodd then ordering him to tell the others about the news.

He is later seen at Metropolis, shooting Flash in the leg and leaving him to be finished off by Captain Cold. When Captain Cold fails to do so, he then attempts to kill Flash himself. Flash dodges the bullets and holds onto Deadshot. He then asks why he would join the Society, with Deadshot explaining about the nano explosive in his head, forcing him into the Society. After explaining, he stabs Flash with a knife before engaging in battle, with Flash emerging victorious.

He is later seen with Bane ambushing Cyborg and Catwoman trying to bring Brother Eye back online, though they are defeated.

He, along with the other members of the Society, disband when he learns that Brainiac will destroy the Earth rather than let them conquer it.

Ending

Injustice 2- Deadshot's Ending

Grodd used the damned nano-explosive in my head to make me his bitch. The jobs he made me do... Well, let's just say they crossed some lines. I bet taking Brainiac and Grodd to the authorities would beat doing another stretch in Belle Reve... and I was right. Bruce Wayne even bankrolled getting rid of my TNT migraines for good. I freakin' hate hospitals, but God was it worth it. With that nano safely out, I could finally see Zoe again. Last time I saw my little girl, she had nine candles on her birthday cake. Now, I gotta second shot at being Dad -- and I sure as hell don't plan to miss it.

Costumes

Deadshot is seen in his normal costume for most of his appearances, which consists of a red bodysuit with a yellow and silver target emblem on his chest, a silver neckline and waist with a golden belt, his customized wrist mounted handguns, yellow gloves, silver boots and his trademark silver mask with the red targeting module over his right eye.

To the right is the base skin for Deadshot from Injustice 2, The Professional. He is wearing his default gear. The remainder of his costumes can be found on his gallery page.

Trivia

• Out of the non-playable characters that also appeared in Batman: Arkham City, Deadshot is the only one not to appear in his Arkham City costume.
• If both Harley and Deadshot fight each other in Injustice 2, Harley will make a reference to the movie Suicide Squad with Deadshot replying "How could I forget the squad."
• Deadshot is voiced by Matthew Mercer, who previously voiced the Tim Drake Robin in Batman: Arkham Knight as well as Anarky in Batman: Arkham Origins.
  • Mercer previously worked with Netherrealm as Kurtis Stryker in the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot.
• If Deadshot was in battle against himself, they'll quote lyrics from Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with your Best Shot".
• In the Injustice 2 Official Harley and Deadshot trailer, Deadshot twirls a knife around in his hand (before pocketing it into his sleeve) as part of his versus intro, and his voice sounds normal. In the final game, he instead twirls a bullet across his fingers (before flicking into the air and catching it) and his voice has an echoing effect (most likely induced by his helmet) and sounds deeper.
