This unnhinged Superman decides to take control of Earth for its own good, leading Batman and his allies to attempt to stop him.
Injustice is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
Injustice: Gods Among Us launched as both a mobile game and on game consoles in 2013, with the game pitting members of the DC universe against one another in death matches reminiscent of Mortal Kombat, also produced by Netherrealm Studios. The game series became so popular that DC launched multiple comics exploring the story.
