Ultimately, these new recruits prove to be just the added muscle Batman needs to finally defeat and overthrow Superman. The tragedy that destroyed the Justice League. Needless to say, Superman is less than thrilled to see the man who ruined his life gallivanting around Gotham City again. That plan is further complicated when Joker is accidentally brought into the Injustice universe alongside these heroes. The first game revolves around Batman's desperate, last-ditch plan to topple the Regime by recruiting the Justice League of another universe. Other heroes are torn between conflicting loyalties, including both Flash and Shazam. In this world, Lex Luthor is Superman's close friend rather than bitter enemy, but Lex ultimately reveals himself to be a mole working with Batman.
Others, like Black Canary, Batwoman and even Harley Quinn side with Batman. Even villains like Black Adam and Sinestro align with Superman, showing a newfound respect for his zero tolerance approach toward crime. Some, like Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and Shazam, lend their support to Superman's cause.
Injustice is not unlike Marvel's Civil War in that the world's heroes are divided down the middle over a terrible tragedy. In his quest to stomp out evil by any means necessary, Superman becomes the greatest threat to world peace. While few blame Superman for losing his cool, this act of murder starts a chain reaction of events that culminates with Superman becoming a global dictator. A grief-stricken Superman retaliates by doing what Batman never could and killing Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime creates a complex illusion that tricks Superman into murdering a pregnant Lois Lane and setting off a nuclear weapon that destroys Metropolis. Over the course of the game, players learn Superman's downfall was Joker's doing. The first Injustice game takes place five years after the original tragedy that sent Superman down his dark path.
But the pill is integral to the plot of the Injustice comics, as it becomes a linchpin of Batman's early resistance plans. In the Injustice games, that pill is basically a convenient MacGuffin designed to justify the various character face-offs. Unfortunately, when Superman has a literal army of super-strong stormtroopers, that means the deck is even more stacked against Team Batman. One Injustice comic even shows an empowered Alfred Pennyworth beating up Superman. The pill temporarily bestows incredible strength, allowing an otherwise ordinary person to trade blows with Superman and keep pace with the Flash. In this world, both Superman and Batman's factions make use of a nanotech pill derived from Kryptonian DNA. That raises an interesting question - how do you create a one-on-one combat game where powerful heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman are on equal footing with ordinary humans like Batman and Harley Quinn? Injustice and its sequel are both fighting games developed by NetherRealm Studios, the same team responsible for recent Mortal Kombat titles, and they follow the MK playbook in terms of gameplay and presentation. The Secret Weapon of the Injustice Universe
Once it becomes clear no power on Earth can overthrow a tyrannical Superman, Batman turns to the Justice League of another Earth for aid. And now Injustice is even making the jump to film, with Warner Bros. The plot continues in 2017's Injustice 2, while DC's Injustice comics flesh out this universe and the events leading up to both games. That's the premise fueling the original game, but the Injustice saga has only grown larger over the years. And once it becomes clear no power on Earth can overthrow a tyrannical Superman, Batman turns to the Justice League of another Earth for aid. Only this world's Batman and his underground Insurgency still oppose Superman's One Earth Regime. His obsession with ridding the world of evil leads him to become a despot. That tragedy pushes the Man of Steel over the edge. This world once resembled the traditional DCU we know and love, but fate takes a very dark turn on the day Superman is tricked into murdering his wife Lois and their unborn child. The 2013 video game Injustice: Gods Among Us introduces a new branch of the DC multiverse.
