Watch Your Favorite Superheroes Beat Each Other Up In The Reveal Trailer For Injustice: Gods Among Us

Remember when Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was announced and everyone was really happy, but when it was released everyone was really sad because it was one of the worst atrocities to hit the fighting scene? Yeah, well it looks like the creators of Mortal Kombat have realized their mistake and decided to create the DC fighting game we all deserve, but not the one we need right now. (rimshot)
The fighting dynamics of this game will focus on power players vs gadget players so while Batman can punch Superman through a wall and/or pull the wall down on Supes, The Man of Steel can throw a skyscraper on Bats. Ok ok, I’m sure a skyscraper is kind of exaggerating, but you get the idea, Superman is freakin’ powerful while Batman is more cunning. Unless of course Batman is given kryptonite gloves like in The Dark Knight Strikes Again then Batman can be transformed into a ‘power’ player within the game, but I doubt NetherRealm has put that much detail into this fighting game. </nerd blabber>
