Injustice: Gods Among Us launched on gaming consoles in 2013. Additionally, a comic book series expanding the story accompanied the game. The storyline is set in a parallel universe within the Multiverse. In this reality, Superman becomes a tyrant after the Joker tricks him into killing Lois Lane and destroying Metropolis with a nuclear bomb. In an effort to stop this, Batman summons counterparts of the League’s members from another universe to join his insurgency.

The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes storyboard artist Matt Peters will direct the feature with a script from Batman: Hush writer Ernie Altbacker. Additionally, Rick Morales (Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery), Jim Krieg (Lego Justice League: Cosmic Clash) and president of Warner Bros. Animation Sam Register will executive produce. The film will release on blu ray, DVD, and digital platforms this summer.
