Injustice-Gods-Among-Us

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a video game released April 16, 2013 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. The game was developed by NetherRealm Studios, the company behind the Mortal Kombat reboot in 2011 and the developers of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. It is the first installment of the Injustice franchise.

Amongst the playable characters are Superman, Lex Luthor and Solomon Grundy, including Metropolis and The Fortress of Solitude as arenas. Other characters include Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Cyborg, Bane, Catwoman, Deathstroke, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Joker, and Nightwing.

The game's story is set in an alternate universe where Superman abandons his principles following the deaths of Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and his unborn child, and the destruction of Metropolis at the hands of the Joker and Harley Quinn, causing him to murder the Joker in cold blood, much to Batman's horror. Sometime later, Superman declares his intentions to rid the world of all crime and tyranny to the United Nations, with him and Wonder Woman reforming the Justice League into a police force to enforce the will of their One Earth government, causing Batman to rebel and form a resistance group to fight against Superman's authoritarian regime. However, five years of fighting leaves Batman as the only active member of the resistance after most of his team is either killed, wounded or deserted, forcing him to use a device built by Lex Luthor to summon a Justice League from another universe, a universe where they are still paragons of hope and justice.
