Meanwhile, the United States government, concerned that Superman will interfere in their operations, orders Mirror Master to kidnap Jonathan Kent as leverage against him. Some heroes, such as Aquaman and Shazam, refuse to choose sides and leave the League. The Justice League is left divided over Superman's actions, as some members, such as Wonder Woman, believe in his cause to eliminate violent criminals, while others, including Batman, keep their no-killing vow. While Green Arrow takes Harley to his hideout to protect her from Superman's wrath, Superman reveals his identity before the United Nations and announces his intentions to bring peace to Earth, by force if necessary. Moments later, Superman arrives and, acting out of grief and rage at the loss of his wife and unborn child, murders the Joker in cold blood. Under Batman's interrogation, Joker reveals that he had grown tired of his losing battle against Batman and sought to try and corrupt Superman instead. Batman tries to warn Superman, but it is too late Lois' heartbeat stops, and the nuke detonates, destroying Metropolis and killing millions of people. As the other heroes arrive and apprehend the Joker and Harley, Batman analyzes the gas revealing it to be fear toxin mixed with Kryptonite, and was used to make Superman hallucinate into thinking that he is fighting Doomsday in reality, he has killed Lois. ![]() Superman eventually finds the Joker and Harley hiding on a submarine, but when he confronts them, he is seemingly attacked by Doomsday and proceeds to punch the monster into space. The Flash finds the Scarecrow dead in his lab and his supply of fear toxin missing, before being killed by a trap laid by Joker. Upon hearing of Lois' capture, Batman calls in all Justice League members to find her. However it is short lived as Lois follows up on a lead with Jimmy and ends with the Joker and Harley Quinn killing Jimmy Olsen, and kidnapping Lois Lane, and they also steal a nuclear weapon, which they connect to a heart rate monitor surgically attached to Lois' heart. On Earth-22 the day starts out ordinarily, the heroes are saving people and Clark Kent is having a happy life with Lois Lane. This unnhinged Superman decides to take control of Earth for its own good, leading Batman and his allies to attempt to stop him. ![]() You can get your hands on the Injustice movie when it soars onto Blu-Ray and DVD this October 19th and check out the non work-safe trailer here.The story takes place on an alternate Earth in which the Joker has tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the hero on a rampage. While it lost its way a little after its first volume, we loved how the Injustice comic posed some thought-provoking questions for example, when you have as much power as Superman, should you be doing more than punching supervillains in the face? The movie looks set to address some of these quandries. Instead, it draws upon both the game and comics, depicting Superman’s conquest and the conflict between the superheroes who decide to either support him or put and end to his regime. Injustice doesn’t, it seem, take place in the game’s universe, which was also expanded upon by a series of comics. ![]() It features a scene, echoing the first game’s opening cutscene, where Superman punches his fist through the Joker’s torso but, unlike the game, it doesn’t cut away, giving you a claret-splattered view of the Clown Prince of Crime’s demise. The latest trailer is a “Red Band” trailer which, in short, means things are going to get bloody. We first got wind of Injustice back in May, when it was revealed Batman: The Long Halloween – Part 2 would feature a teaser for it. It’s loss that drives him to conquer the world, to, in his eyes, make it a better place. But what’s so fascinating about this world is that Superman isn’t evil, nor has he had his mind co-opted by some evil genius. Injustice: Gods Among Us and its sequel, simply titled Injustice 2, take place in the DC Comics multiverse, in a realm where Superman has gone rogue. ![]() There’s no news on a third Injustice game, but Netherrealm’s superhero fighting series is becoming an animated movie and we’re rather looking forward to it.
