It seems that more and more video games are getting their own shows and movies. We’ve seen this happening with Sonic the Hedgehog, the Resident Evil series, and DOTA 2. Recently, Animation Magazine reported that the popular video game Injustice: Gods Among Us—featuring a deranged Superman and a divided Justice League—is getting the feature-length animated film treatment, entitled Injustice. The upcoming DC Animated Movie appears to follow roughly the video game’s action-packed plotline. Check out it below!
The Joker has duped Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the Man of Steel on a deadly rampage. Unhinged, Superman decides to take control of the Earth for humanity’s own good. Determined to stop him, Batman creates a team of like- minded, freedom-fighting heroes. But when Super Heroes go to war, can the world survive?
