How did Injustice 2 get better character faces than most other games?

I watched the video in that Kotaku link and I’ve got to say I wasn’t as impressed as I expected to be. Batman and Wonder Woman’s mouths look kind of weird and uncanny. Robin seemed to look good though. I should probably watch some other videos…

I was always impressed by Timesplitters 2’s facial animations. I know they’re a lot more stylised but, damn, if they don’t look great even today:
