Injustice: Gods Among Us is getting the DC Universe Movie treatment

 

One of the best DC Multiverse stories and fighting game franchises in recent memory is being adapted into an animated film, as IGN reports that Injustice: Gods Among Us is getting the DC Universe Movie treatment - which will tell the tale of an alternate universe where a tyrannical Superman rules Earth with a regime and is opposed by Batman and his allies.

The original Injustice: Gods Among Us was developed by NetherRealm Studios of Mortal Kombat fame, and was released in 2013 for PC and consoles. It became a critical and commercial success, spawning a media franchise that included comic book tie-ins by DC Comics, action figures, and even a mobile game that is still played to this day. A sequel, Injustice 2, continues the story and features Braniac invading Earth which forces Batman to team up with Superman following his defeat.

No release date or other details have been release for Injustice: Gods Among Us' animated movie yet.

Injustice 2 Announcement Trailer released

After a leaked image appeared on the interwebz and pretty much confirmed everyone's guess that a sequel to one of the most successful comic book fighting games was coming, Warner Bros., and NetherRealm Studios have pulled the curtain to reveal that "Injustice 2" is happening, and it has the tag line "Every Battle Defines You" - which pretty much strays along the lines that "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

As the sequel to 2013's "Injustice: Gods Among Us", Injustice 2 will apparently take things up a notch by adding armor upgrades into the battle as well as the gear system (which was present in the mobile edition of the first game), and of course new faces will join the fray such as Kara Zor-El, better known as Superman's cousin Supergirl! Check out the announcement trailer below, which is way ahead of E3 2016 week.
