** Lex Luthor looks a lot like Creator/BruceWillis.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The death of Regime's Shazam. Regime's Superman starts off by choking him. When Shazam attempts to counter by summoning his magic lightning with "Shazam!", Superman cuts him off by freezing his mouth and throat shut. Then Superman uses his heat vision to roast through Shazam's skull to the other side. Of note is that Shazam is [[WouldHurtAChild still a child]] in a grown-up body.

-->'''Superman''': How could you? I brought peace to this world!\\
'''[[spoiler:Lex Luthor]]''': Your peace... is a joke. *dies*

* BlackAndGreyMorality: Sure, Superman and his supporters began as a WellIntentionedExtremist faction, who have many right points in their actions, but [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope their steady decline to tyranny]] [[HeWhoFightsMonsters and growing abandonment of morality in their crimefighting]] led them to become real villains. However, Injustice Batman isn't actually blameless: he refuses to help Superman cope with his emotional trauma, continues to follow his ThouShaltNotKill rule to stupid and hypocritical ends, lies, and uses more and more unscrupulous means to fight against the Regime, nearly always causing more disasters and making others and himself sink deeper into despair.

* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: The game has some pretty strange endings, but Harley Quinn's [[JustForPun takes the cake.]]

** Creator/AdamBaldwin as the artificial intelligence for Insurgency!Lex Luthor's armor, having previously played [[CloningBlues the two Supermen]] in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanDoomsday'' and the one Superman in ''VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline.''

''Injustice: Gods Among Us'' is an April 2013 Creator/DCComics FightingGame developed by Creator/NetherrealmStudios, the company behind the [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Mortal Kombat reboot]] in 2011. The game the first installment of the ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' franchise.

The game's story is set in an AlternateUniverse where Superman renounces his beliefs following the death of his wife Comicbook/LoisLane and the destruction of Metropolis at the hands of the Joker and Harley Quinn, causing him to murder the Joker in cold blood, much to Batman's horror. Sometime later, Superman professes his intentions to rid the world of all crime and tyranny to the United Nations, with him and Franchise/WonderWoman reforming the Justice League into a police force to enforce the will of their ''One Earth'' government, causing Batman to rebel and form a resistance group composed of [[BadassNormal badass normals]], vigilantes and novice metahumans to fight against Superman's authoritarian government. However, years of fighting leave Batman as the only active member of the resistance after most of his team is either killed, wounded, or deserted, forcing him to use a device built by Lex Luthor (who is a good guy in this universe) to summon a Justice League from another universe, a universe where they are still paragons of hope and justice.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman Characters'': Athena, Giganta

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Injustice'' is much grittier than previous games based on ''DC'' properties, including ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse''. The story features half the heroes entering HeWhoFightsMonsters territory while multiple others die in exceedingly brutal ways. The premise of the game is "What would happen if ComicBook/TheJoker [[DespairEventHorizon breaks]] Franchise/{{Superman}}?"

* FlippingTheTable: In the beginning, alternative-reality Franchise/{{Superman}} does this when "interrogating" ComicBook/TheJoker, who was sitting behind the table -- or at when least complaining to him about how he killed everyone and made Superman kill someone he loved. The table flies pretty far to the side, naturally, but still to a kind of restrained extent considering it's [[SuperStrength Superman]] we're talking about. Still, if you thought at this point he was flipping out, you'd be right.

** The Franchise/{{Superman}} Mythos have plenty of stages represented, but the Man of Steel is fought at the end of Arcade mode in the Fortress of Solitude. Lex Luthor also has the Insurgency stage.
** The Franchise/{{Batman}} Mythos also have locations represented, with plenty of ''Batman'' [[SpotlightStealingSquad characters to share them with]]. The Dark Knight himself though has both Wayne Manor and The Batcave, with the rest having Gotham City, Arkham Asylum, or Joker's Asylum.

** Franchise/GreenLantern has Ferris Aircraft.
** Franchise/WonderWoman and Ares have Themyscira.

* KnightTemplar: The Regime versions of Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/WonderWoman became this after the Tragedy of Metropolis. They show how dark the innocent, idealistic hero that are adored by millions can turn should they lose the ones they cherishe and subsequently push their version of "justice" too far to the point they're worse monsters than the villains they killed.

* OrderIsNotGood: Superman's Regime is an absolutely totalitarian and brutal government that aims to impose peace through fear, and has made countless of victims across Earth and beyond (many of them were his former allies). It still acknowledged as a force of order that managed to end warfare and conflict, to the point the [[WarGod Greek God of War]] [[Franchise/WonderWoman Ares]] is extremely weakened with no more strife and violence to feed him, allowing mortal heroes to kick his ass. When the Regime is toppled, balance is completely ruined and the order enforced by the Regime crumbles with supervillains coming out of the woodwork to fill in the power gap.
* PaletteSwap: The [[AffirmativeActionLegacy John Stewart]] Franchise/GreenLantern appears as an alternate skin for Hal Jordan. He has the exact same moves and animations, just with a different appearance and voice.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Even after the Injustice version of Franchise/{{Superman}} is locked up in [[TailorMadePrison a room filled with red sun lamps]], he can still mildly use his heat vision...]]

* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: One of Joker's finishing moves involves shooting his opponent at point blank range both with a big gun and a ''bazooka''. Any other character with ranged weaponry will inevitably play this straight, as the characters are rarely more than fifteen feet away from each other. Notable examples include Deathstroke and Comicbook/GreenArrow shooting opponents right a few feet away with a sniper rifle and a bow, Lobo firing an absurdly ShortRangeShotgun that has only a little more range than his melee attacks, and Lex Luthor using ''[[DeathFromAbove an orbital laser]]'' to blast an enemy right next to him.

** Franchise/{{Batman}} says "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Get down here!]]" while using his grapple move against an airborne opponent.

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: The game has a significant portion of its cast coming from [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Gotham]] even though ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} and ComicBook/{{Bane}} barely play any role in the story. Batman is also the only remaining superhero and the only character to have two chapters in Story Mode: one as the main universe one and the other as his Injustice verse counterpart. He even has a bonus MirrorMatch fight between Franchise/WonderWoman and Franchise/{{Superman}}'s chapters.

** At the beginning of the fight between {{Franchise/Batman}} and Regime Nightwing [[spoiler:who is actually Damian Wayne]], Batman tells him:

* WithholdingTheBigGood: While many heroes from the "Prime" universe cross over into the "Injustice" universe to help Franchise/{{Batman}}'s Insurgency against ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s Regime, Prime Superman himself doesn't come until the final Story chapter. Justified by Injustice Batman not wanting a second Superman running around, since one didn't exactly work out for his Earth. [[CurbStompBattle Once Prime Superman joins the fray, he ends the Regime pretty quickly.]]

* WolverinePublicity: Five of the first eleven characters revealed were ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' characters. Though honestly, it's [[ComicBook/{{New52}} par for the course]] [[VideoGame/LegoBatman these days]].

* BetrayalInsurance: In his ending, unsettled by his fight with his EvilCounterpart, Superman decides to ingest a Kryptonite piece that can be remotely detonated by a trigger which changes hands between each of the Justice League members, in case he ever goes down his counterpart's path. Appropriately enough, Batman has been denied a shift with the trigger.

** Regime Wonder Woman is by far the more devious one. While serving as his enforcer by leading an entire AmazonBrigade to serve the Regime, she's also a ManipulativeBitch with every intention to replace Lois Lane in Superman's life and become a legitimate BattleCouple with Superman. [[spoiler:This ultimately doesn't pan out however, as her GoodCounterpart defeats her and turns the Amazons ''against'' the Regime]].

* DeusExitMachina: [[spoiler:The regular Superman is busy fighting Doomsday in space when Insurgency Batman pulls the other heroes into his dimension; keeping him out of the way for most of the story. Alternate Batman is also reluctant to bring him there. When he does eventually get pulled into the Injustice Universe, he takes on and defeats Black Adam, Sinestro (effortlessly), Yellow Lantern (without a fight), Regime Aquaman, Doomsday, and his EvilCounterpart in rapid succession.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Just about every main timeline hero delivers these to their counterparts who turned evil in the story. There are also several good ones in clash quotes.

* WhatAreYouInTheDark: We see an AlternateUniverse Superman have the choice of killing Joker for causing the deaths of Lois Lane and his unborn son, or let him live. [[spoiler: He chooses to kill the Joker, leading him to believe that killing villains will solve the world's problems. He later kills other superheroes who begin disagreeing with him]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Good Superman pulls a damn good one on Regime Superman when the former finally confronts the latter in the end.

The game's story is set in an AlternateUniverse where Superman abandons his principles following the death of his wife Comicbook/LoisLane and the destruction of Metropolis at the hands of the Joker and Harley Quinn, causing him to murder the Joker in cold blood, much to Batman's horror. Sometime later, Superman declares his intentions to rid the world of all crime and tyranny to the United Nations, with him and Franchise/WonderWoman reforming the Justice League into a police force to enforce the will of their ''One Earth'' government, causing Batman to rebel and form a resistance group composed of [[BadassNormal badass normals]], vigilantes and novice metahumans to fight against Superman's authoritarian government.

The game has a similar gameplay to 2011's [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Mortal Kombat reboot]] but with a few additions such as a interactive objects in the stages with the characters with SuperStrength having the ability to use heavy objects to attack their opponent while [[BadassNormal badass normals]] use those objects to evade attacks. Also, there are stage transitions that can be triggered using a heavy attack on a specific part of the stage, and each character have a special ability unique to them such as Superman having a short damage buff, Wonder Woman changing her fighting style from barehanded to a heavier sword & shield style and Aquaman summoning a water shield that increases defense.

* GuestFighter: Scorpion from ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. This marks the second time, following ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'', that the ninja would do battle with the DC Universe.

* AlternateContinuity: There are two in the game. A "main" one and an alternate one. Even the "main" continuity is alternate from the comics, though, seemingly taking on aspects from the Prime Earth books, the "New Earth" continuity before that, and a few nods to the Franchise/{{DCAU}}.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Harley Quinn allying with Batman and helping fight the Regime did not fix the fact she helped the Joker cause the incident that set the whole story of the game into effect. Several of Batman's allies point out that she could easily slip back into her old ways, and that she isn't excused for her actions. Harley herself even admits that she hasn't quite gotten over her villain phase and struggles with the mental damage that came from it.

** Creator/NolanNorth as General Zod, having previously played Superman and Superboy in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** When [[Creator/KharyPayton Cyborg]] forced to side with Alternate Deathstroke he says "You will follow my lead." a line Aqualad had in ComicBook/YoungJustice, and his voice briefly softens to sound like his Aqualad voice. In addition to that, [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Cyborg calls Deathstroke by his real name and has his "Boo-Yah!" catchphrase.]]
** At one point, Cyborg uses what looks like holograms to disguise as his alternate self in order to infiltrate the Hall of Justice, similarly to what does in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode [[http://teentitans.wikia.com/wiki/Deception "Deception".]]

* AgeLift: In the comics, [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Damian Wayne]]'s age is somewhat nebulous and depends on who is writing him, but he's usually depicted as a middle schooler at the absolute oldest.[[note]]''Comicbook/{{Robin 2021}}'' explicitly gives his age as 14, for instance.[[/note]] In this game, he's a grown adult and has taken on the Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} mantle.

* AsYouKnow: When Aquaman is sent to the alternate universe, he asks an Atlantean historian to review Regime Superman's rise to power. The historian gives him a look that clearly indicates he's confused as to why he would ask something everyone already knows until Aquaman [[HandWave Hand Waves]] it by saying hearing the story recounted by somebody else might give him some fresh ideas on how to handle the upcoming treaty.
