Injustice

In a twisted version of the DC Universe, the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and destroying Metropolis. Driven mad by grief, Superman establishes a totalitarian regime, the One Earth Regime, to enforce global peace. This forces heroes and villains to choose sides: follow Superman's oppressive new world order or fight for freedom with Batman's Insurgency. The game explores the dramatic conflict between these factions, featuring iconic DC characters in a brutal, alternate reality.
