History TearJerker / Injustice2

''(Superman pulls off the cover, revealing the old Justice League table, [[RuleOfSymbolism with a large crack dividing it in two)''

* Starfire's ending has her reminiscing on happier times with the Titans but now feels incredibly lonely without them. Raven is now serving Trigon ([[FridgeBrilliance which would explain her sudden disappearance after the first game]]), Cyborg is working for Superman in the Regime, Beast Boy has gone missing and presumed dead, and of course Dick died. Turns into a heartwarming moment when she finds new friends in Blue Beetle, Supergirl and Jason Rusch.

** Gets even worse when you think about Harley's lovelife in general. Her first known boyfriend, the Joker himself, was [[DomesticAbuse physically and psychologically abusive]], even going so far as to [[MadLove try and kill her multiple times]], and then ended up getting Superman's hand run [[KilledOffForReal through his chest]]. Then her first known girlfriend, heavily implied to have disappeared for a while, is revealed to now be her enemy and then tries to kill her. Twice! [[TheWoobie Somebody give this woman a hug]]!

* Raiden's ending, where despite his best efforts, Kent Nelson dies of his wounds in Black Canary's arms. Fortunately, he manages to turn this around by forming Justice League Dark to protect the planet from the Lords of Order in his memory.

* Firestorm's Arcade ending: he/they kill Brainiac by destroying his ship, which also destroys all of the cities aboard it. Overwhelmed by grief at this tragedy, the two halves of Firestorm give up on being a superhero.

* The opening intro dialogue between Batman and Superman which perfectly explains [[FallenHero Superman's]] StartofDarkness.

-->'''Green Arrow:''' Much broodier than my Batman.\\

** He also is suprisingly perceptive on Batman's internal pain and takes the moment to call out Damian for his ungrateful attitude.

* The Flash's intro against Jay Garrick qualifies as this for a speedster seeking redemption and atonement for his time with the Regime.
-->'''The Flash (Jay Garrick):''' Fallen short of our ideals, Barry.
'''The Flash (Barry Allen):''' I only hope they'll forgive me.

'''Starfire:''' Then you need to surrender...

** On a similar note, a clash quote between Batman and Wonder Woman implies that Batman has completely given up on his son. When Diana tells him that "Damian despises you.", Batman nonchalantly replies "You can have him."

** What makes it even worse is that after coming within an inch of redemption, Superman decides to immediately follow this conversation by sucker punching Batman. It just drives home how far gone the Injustice version of Clark is.

''[=*=]Superman pulls off the cover, revealing the old Justice League table, [[RuleOfSymbolism with a large crack dividing it in two]].*''

--> '''Kara:''' Everywhere I go, people are afraid of this! (touches the S-Shield on Superman's chest) Now I know why.

'''Starfire:''' [[TragicHero YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOST PEOPLE!]]\\\

* The Atom attempts to sympathize with Mr. Freeze by calling him out on his technology, which could have been used to save than hurt people. The tone on the Atom's voice is clearly a saddened one.
-->'''The Atom:''' [[YoucouldhaveusedyourpowersforEVIL Your technology could help millions!]]\\

* The Atom attempts to sympathize with Mr. Freeze by calling him out on his technology, which could have been used to save than hurt people. The tone on the Atom's voice is clearly a saddened one.

* Bane's ladder ending has him defeat all the heroes and release all the imprisoned criminals, declaring "No more prisons! No more guards! No more Regime!" However, SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome as he notes that all of the {{Worthy Opponent}}s who could have challenged him are now dead and there's nothing left to do — which leads him to realize that being LonelyAtTheTop is the ''true'' prison in of itself.

'''Enchantress:''' ''(smug)'' I'll silence June's conscious soon enough.

*** Even if Lois was brought back, Superman is too far gone and it wouldn't stop him.

*** Another starts off with Cyborg suggesting a friendly match, only for Starfire to call him out for joining the Regime. Given his response, he may be too far gone in the Regime to the point where their relationship may already be beyond repair.

* Superman's [[LastOfHisKind origin]] [[SoleSurvivor story]] is already bad enough. Supergirl's turns it UpToEleven. Kal at least was an infant when Krypton was destroyed; Kara was a young woman when she saw Brainiac kill her people and destroy her planet. Her parents [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed themselves]] to save her, and the only other survivor (as far as she knows) is her baby cousin. Then, after spending decades apparently in stasis, she finally reaches Earth to find that her baby cousin became a hero, turned bad and set up a dictatorship, and was overthrown and locked away by a planet that fears him more than anything else (and when he breaks out and tries to take over again, he makes it clear that she can either help him or be dealt with like he has done with many other threats to the Regime). Oh, and the monster who destroyed Krypton has come for her new home too.

* Remember Doctor Fate saved Black Canary when she was almost killed by Superman? He went against fate in order to save her. Now one could wonder if he could see other people's fate and even change it why didn't he help Superman save Lois ten years before all of this happened. He was asked this by Cyborg. The answer will shock you. He just let fate follow it's course. This equal saying that Lois, her baby and the four millions of people in Metropolis didn’t matter and thus weren't worth saving.

--->'''Atrocitus:''' [[NotSoDifferent That same rage created me.]]

'''Superman:''' [[NotSoDifferent ...Me too.]]

* Bane's ladder ending has him defeat all the heroes and release all the imprisoned criminals, declaring "No more prisons! No more guards! No more Regime!" However, RealityEnsues as he notes that all of the {{Worthy Opponent}}s who could have challenged him are now dead and there's nothing left to do — which leads him to realize that being LonelyAtTheTop is the ''true'' prison in of itself.

** Enchantress' ending, as Nightmare Fuel inducing as it is, is pretty tear jerking. Brainiac mistakingly attempts to absorb Enchantress' power, and both are presumed dead. June is seemingly free and describes her new normal and happy life, including getting her job back and having a date, but her happiness is cut short when Enchantress takes over her again, and makes plans to conquer the multiverses. June screaming as she loses control again makes the entire ending even sadder for her.

* All the clash quotes and intros that bring up [[WouldHurtAChild Shazam's murder by Superman]].

** And also to a dark re-imagining of his famous WorldOfCardboardSpeech.

* In the second annual when Ms.Kent visit Clark and they hug it's visible how much she is hurt to see where her only son has ended up.

* Issue 34: It seems like Dex-Starr's origin story will be heartbreaking no matter what universe. Whereas his owner was killed by some house robber in the original DC comics, in this universe the family that took him in was brutally murdered by AMAZO on Ra's al Ghul's orders. In one hand, its less brutal than his original back story since in this universe, Plastic Man is willing to take him after his owner's death in but is forced by Batman to leave Dex behind, whereas in the original, the poor kitty was abused by strangers following his abandonment. On the other hand, Dex still tries to defend his family and attack AMAZO, only to be pushed aside effortlessly by the android, and is later shown grieving over his owner's remains. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Had Plas managed to take care of him, he likely wouldn't have drawn a Red Ring to him.]]

* Let's just say 80% of Mr. Freeze's intro dialogue and leave it at that.

* Right before Kara and Damian fight the later says that Superman was more of a father than Batman could ever be. Damien said this in the first game right in the face of his father and now we ask and wonder again if a tyrant Superman is more of a father than a good Batman then what kind of a father he would have been if he didn't lose his wife and unborn child and remained one of the good guys.

* What poaching and pollution deliberately started, Blue Beetle, a young, innocent superhero, accidentally ''finished.''
