In the five years in-between the events of the game, Superman virtually eliminates crime on Earth and establishes absolute power and control through his regime, the One Earth Government, taking like-minded super-heroes and villains as his generals with himself acting as High Councilor. With his eyes igniting in a fury, Superman kills the Joker by shoving his fist through his chest and ripping out Joker's heart, with the madman dying with one last smile and cackle of insanity. When the Joker mocks Superman by asking him if he'll ever find love again and muses that he might not kill his next family, this proves the final straw. Outraged and thirsty for vengeance, Superman snatches the Joker by his neck and lifts him up, shoving Batman aside with a gentle push when the Dark Knight tries to intervene. As the Man of Steel stalks toward the Clown Prince of Crime, who sits back down, further mocking the fact even if they lock him up, he will escape causing even greater destruction.
When the Joker mockingly points out Metropolis' similar fate to Krypton, Superman smashes his fist against the wall near Joker's head and then throws him across the room. Superman rages over the Joker's manipulations of him before somberly lamenting the loss of Lois and their unborn son. He orders Batman aside, though when the Dark Knight tries to assure Superman he is handling this, Kal-El quickly throws the table in-between himself and the Joker aside and grabs the psychotic clown, slamming him against the room's two-way mirror. Mirroring the comic, Superman first appears breaking down a wall of the room, so enraged his eyes burn red with heat vision. Injustice: Gods Among Us begins with scenes of Metropolis utterly devastated by a nuclear blast, with the Joker being held in an interrogation room by Batman in Gotham. Still grieving the loss of Lois and their unborn son, Superman maintains that peace can only be achieved through subjugation-But as a new threat looms, can old enemies forge new alliances? He now rules as High Councilor of Earth, killing all who oppose him.Īfter the Regime's fall, Superman now remains a permanent resident of a prison built to contain and suppress the Man of Steel. Adopted by a kindly farming couple in Kansas, he went on to become Earth's most powerful and respected superhero.Ī deeply troubled dictator, Superman was drugged into killing his wife Lois, their unborn son, and all of Metropolis by the Joker. Maybe." That narrative crux proved controversial as Superman has always been extremely reluctant to use lethal force, with only a tiny number of deaths attributed to him.The last son of Krypton was sent to Earth to escape his birthworld's destruction. "Maybe we'll see the repercussions of that in the next film. Snyder also suggested that Superman's killing of General Zod, played by Michael Shannon in Man of Steel, may continue to haunt the second film. Whether they fight and become friends, or whether they're friends and they fight."
Snyder said: "The fun of the idea is to be able to play with that relationship. This accords with the swirl of rumours around the film, which has led to it being subbed Batman vs Superman, ever since Snyder referred to the pair "facing off", as he spoke about Man of Steel 2 at Comic Con in July. Speaking at a promotional event hosted by Kevin Smith, Snyder said, of the follow-up film: "Of course, some physical conflicts" will occur. Man of Steel director Zack Snyder has suggested that Batman and Superman will end up trading blows in the much-anticipated sequel which sees Henry Cavill return as Superman alongside Ben Affleck as Batman.
