* When Regime Superman is being overwhelmed by his good doppelgänger, he tries to use his HeatVision as a last resort. Superman blocks it for a moment before countering with a blast from his own, overwhelming Regime Superman's beams before there can even be a BeamOWar... right back into his eyes. It doesn't look like it resulted in lasting damage (unless it was responsible for the SequelHook, comic logic being what it is), but still... '''ow!'''

* In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CocApuEgYlU opening cinematic]], the recently arrested Joker taunts a furious Superman [[BullyingADragon repeatedly]] and, as is shown in the prequel comic, ends up dead. However, how it's portrayed is quite chilling — when the Joker finally pushes Supes over the edge with a final taunt — "I know it's soon, but… Think you'll ever love again? Maybe you won't kill your next family..." — the Man of Steel's eyes flash red, and he draws his fist back, and the screen blacks out while the Joker laughs, and [[SoundOnlyDeath we hear some very nasty sounds.]]..

** And to drive point home further: in Third Year, Superman protected Shazam from Spectre Mr. Mxyzptlk, who tried to kill Shazam for having ''doubt'' in Superman. In the game, which is stated to be on fifth or sixth year, '''he does the same thing'''.

* On one of the stage transitions on the Arkham Asylum stage, the victim is injected with Fear Toxin by Scarecrow, which causes the victim to hallucinate the cell ''crumbling apart'' as an enlarged version of Scarecrow comes by and smashes them against the ground. It's scary becomes Scarecrow just comes out completely out of nowhere, and it basically serves as a reminder of how dangerous he can actually be.

* When the heroes attack Stryker Island to save their Batman from being executed in Alt!Batman's place, they find Bruce, who can barely stand under his own power and his face is beaten badly. Even with Regime!Superman's twisted logic that Batman was responsible for the destruction of Metropolis, this was an innocent Batman from another universe and Superman knew that. Did Evil!Superman have his way with him, or is this the normal treatment of Stryker Island inmates? Either way... *shudder*

* Let's elaborate on ''exactly what'' Shazam speaking out against made Superman decide to put him down like a common thug. Superman's [[InsaneTrollLogic "protection"]] of the "ungrateful" populace: a full military assault on Gotham and Metropolis to [[ScareEmStraight keep everybody else in line]]. Legions of soldiers gunning down anyone who isn't them, Doomsday ravages entire city blocks, and Superman himself takes time to cut down a crowded bridge with his HeatVision. All because people watching his televised execution of Lex Luthor [[DisproportionateRetribution dared to wonder aloud why he'd do that]] to a known public ally. And what makes everything worse? Superman, destroying Metropolis, is repeating the ''[[DramaticIrony very same thing]]'' that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters drove him to madness in the first place]].

** [[https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Injustice-Gods-Among-Us-I/Issue-4?id=25115 What's worse is that the comic shows it happen on-panel, complete with Batman's horrified reaction (see bottom-most panel).]]

* ''[[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]]'s win pose consists of him [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling the opponent through the chest]] with one of his swords, removing his mask to show off his [[FlamingSkulls fiery-eyed skull]], and finally [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]] to open a HellGate and throwing the opponent into it (and landing on his/her back for good measure).

* In the prequel comic, Kalibak attacks Paris while Superman is holding a speech, opening a boom tube right above the crowd and sending in a legion of a parademons that disintegrates several innocent civilians immediately, and then personally blasting Superman in the chest. Superman survives ([[SavedByCanon obviously]]), but the worst thing about it all is that while Superman had already become a WellIntentionedExtremist, he was still pretty well-intentioned (especially since the good Lex Luthor of that Earth had begun advising him). After ''this'', however, it's time for all to BewareTheSuperman...

** It is even more horrifying when you know the history of the character. Joker is the physical embodiment of nihilistic misanthropy. In most Batman media, Joker's motivation for his crime sprees is to try and force Batman to kill someone — usually [[DeathSeeker the Joker himself]] — in order to show the people of Gotham that even a paragon of justice like Batman can be brought down to his level. In the Injustice universe, the Joker tries to do this with Superman, arguably [[BigGood an even more powerful symbol of justice, kindness, and just goodness in general]] and '''''succeeds'''''. The Joker in this universe proves to the most horrifying degree that ''anyone'' can have '''''[[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke one. Really. Bad. Day.]]''''' That the MonsterClown pushed Superman to the edge by striking him where he is most vulnerable just ForTheEvulz speaks for itself.
