INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US - Why was I not aware of this?

Written by James Zahn

I'm really kind of disturbed that I didn't know about this. Announced over a year ago... countless videos uploaded to YouTube (including some with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes) racking up more than 12,000,000 plays... and starring my two favorite superheroes: SUPERMAN and BATMAN. How did I not find out about INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US until tonight? The video game hits all the major consoles (XBOX 360, Playstation 3, Wii U) next month, and looks great.

injusticcover What if our greatest heroes became our greatest threat? Injustice: Gods Among Us introduces a bold new franchise to the fighting game genre from NetherRealm Studios, creators of the definitive fighting game Mortal Kombat. Featuring DC Comics icons such Batman, Cyborg, The Flash, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Solomon Grundy, Superman and Wonder Woman, the latest title from the award-winning studio presents a deep original story. Heroes and villains will engage in epic battles on a massive scale in a world where the line between good and evil has been blurred.

What grabbed my attention tonight was the Gamestop has an exclusive download pack based on SUPERMAN: RED SON, a fantastic graphic novel that I purchased about ten years ago. It reimagines SUPERMAN with the premise that he landed in the Soviet Union instead of The United States and was raised to be a Soviet icon.

Walmart also has some exclusive action, with skin packs based on MORTAL COMBAT Vs. DC UNIVERSE and BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY. Click here to pre-order yours.

Will you be rocking INJUSTICE next month?
