    All the way back in 2013 NetherRealm Studios and Tom Taylor brought the DC Universe into its ultimate clash, the Injustice storyline. The game was released alongside a comic, written by Taylor. With over 150 issues it was a mega-hit, bringing Batman and Superman head to head and splitting the DC Universe down the middle. The franchise would go onto score a second game as well as yet another comic that would run for another over 70 issues continuing the story from the first game.

    A while ago it was announced that an Injustice animated adaption would be coming from WB Animation, DC, and WB Home Entertainment. The film would bring to life the best-selling first installment in the franchise, showing us the murder of Lois Lane and the fall from grace for Superman, as the Regime and Insurgency form. The animated feature has set a release date of October 19th, 2021, launching on digital platforms and Blu-Ray on the same day.

    Matt Peters directed the project with Rick Morales producing alongside Jim Krieg. The film was written by Ernie Altbacker who previously wrote Batman: Hush.

    Animated ‘Injustice’ Film In Development

    Many fans always wondered what would happen if the DC Universe got turned upside down. What would happen if Superman embraced a darker side? The various Crisis events in the DC universe did tease this potential, but it wasn’t until NetherRealm Studio that went all-in with their Injustice franchise. The fighting games pitted villains and heroes alike to see who would be the last one standing. Its story was a standout when the first entry, Injustice: Gods Among Us, released in 2013. Now, WB Home Entertainment announced they are developing an animated film based on the Injustice franchise. We didn’t receive any details on the project, but we can expect an advanced sneak peek available in the upcoming release of the Batman: The Long Halloween Part II animated film.

    With the film getting announced out of nowhere, there’s little to no information on the project. Warner Bros has not announced any plot details or casting as of now. The film could be an animated retelling or be part of their new choose-your-own-adventure animated films. WB Animation released an animated retelling of Under The Red Hood that gave the viewer a choice on how the events unfolded

    The games did something similar. In the ending of Injustice 2, you were given a choice that resulted in one of two endings. One resulted in Superman getting banished to the Phantom Zone while the other saw him combine with Brainiac. As a consequence, he built an army to protect Earth and continue his rule overall. The games had an amazing roster to play with and we can expect a lot of familiar faces in the upcoming film. Here’s hoping the sneak peek offers more details on what to expect.
