Red Hood arrives in Injustice 2 on June 13, according to NetherRealm boss Ed Boon on Twitter.

The masked vigilante will initially be available only as part of the $20 Injustice 2 Fighter Pack 1, which also includes Sub Zero and Starfire. According to Destructoid, you'll be able to buy just Red Hood on his own the following week – so sometime around June 20.
