With no official reply from Warner Bros., things don't seem positive for Wii U players.

UPDATE: A Warner Bros. representative told us that they can only confirm "that the DLC will hit 360 and PS3 today." They did not directly address the Wii U DLC situation. The original story is below:
The possibility of downloadable content for Injustice: Gods Among Us on Wii U appears to be non-existent right now, as the game's first major piece of DLC is out this week on other platforms with no sign or official word of a release on Wii U.
The only word we've received from our repeated attempts at contacting Warner Bros. representatives is this message from shortly before the game's April 16 launch: "We don't have any more specific details to release about the Wii U version that haven't already been made public. If we do have new details to discuss, we'll release them publicly."
DLC for the Wii U version has been previously confirmed by Nintendo during a Nintendo Direct earlier in the year, and also by the fact that the box for the games lists the ability to download additional content on the back. To date, Warner Bros. or developer NetherRealm Studios have not commented on the issue.
The Wii U version already missed out on all degrees of bonus content, ranging from pre-order bonuses to downloadable costumes available in the iOS game. While other versions had a Season Pass available for purchase, the Wii U version did not. Additionally, the Nintendo version is missing some key online features, such as friend matches, that the other systems have.
The playable character Lobo was this week's addition, while Batgirl was confirmed to be the next DLC character. The other two rumored characters that the Wii U version might be missing out on are Superman villain General Zod and Mortal Kombat staple Scorpion.
WHAT THE HELL NINTENDO!!!! YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!! If you wanna stay in business then when you have a game that is also on Xbox and PS and they put out a DLC pack then PUT THE SAME ONE OUT!!!! WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!it isn't always their choice...
does nintendo release DLC on the eshop only on thursdays? I think we should give them some slack until then...
(and the rather pissy attitude the official twitter takes towards any questions regarding any Wii U DLC)
I want to know what is up. Is this the fault of Nintendo. Either through having strange DLC policies, or strict regulations on when DLC becomes available or what not.
If this is Nintendo's fault. They need to actively fix this pronto.
If this is the publishers or developers fault then shame on you. I am beginning to believe there is an active agenda to get Nintendo out of the hardware business. And actually it makes sense. Publishers and Developers could save a lot of money if they only had to develop for 2 consoles. And if you are going to publish for only two, you want to publish for the 2 that are the most similar and has the most potential for profit.
Nintendo systems have not proven to be the best system for 3rd parties. If this trend continues then Nintendo may be regulated to handheld console next generation. Or if Nintendo is smart a handheld system that can also hook up to your TV.

I really am not convinced that Third Party Publishers/Developers have an active agenda against Nintendo, or that they are deliberately trying to remove Nintendo from the console equation. As you say, third parties can save a lot of money if they only develop for 2 consoles. Third parties are providing little support for Wii U because it's not within their business interests to do so, and while that could theoretically mean that Nintendo eventually bow out of the console market, the removal of Nintendo is not their goal.
