NetherRealm Studios, the developer behind the hugely successful Mortal Kombat franchise, has announced a brand new fighting game, in the form of Injustice: Gods Among Us, a title that will feature a variety of comic book superheroes from DC Comics.

NetherRealm impressed millions of people with Mortal Kombat for the PS3 and Xbox 360 last year and now it seems that the studio, together with Warner Bros., wants to once again bring a fighting game with various DC Comics heroes, after the lackluster Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe.

As such, the two companies have confirmed Injustice: Gods Among Us, a new title that will see players take on the roles of different super heroes and fight against other super-enemies.

“Injustice: Gods Among Us debuts as a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and many others. Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale,” the companies said in a press release.

Both NetherRealm and Warner Bros. want Injustice to mark the start of a new fighting franchise that will be able to rival other, more established series thanks to its unique characters and the expertise of the studio.

“With Injustice: Gods Among Us, we are creating an all-new franchise with incredible battles set in the DC Comics Universe,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “NetherRealm Studios is the extremely talented team behind the latest Mortal Kombat hit and it is developing a game unlike any other in the fighting genre.”

“We can’t wait to reveal Injustice: Gods Among Us because it will give our fans and gamers an epic experience as they battle like gods as their favorite DC Comics villains and heroes,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “Our team is excited to make a fighting game that is filled with fast-paced action, incredible story-telling and iconic DC Comics characters.”

A special video of Injustice has been made available as well as a few screenshots. Check them out below and expect some more details to appear next week, during E3 2012.

Well at least it looks like they aren’t going to totally pussy out like they did with Mortal Kombat vs. DC and actually have some violence in this.

There needs to be a rule against redesigning Harley Quinn to look absolutely nothing like a clown girl.

I’m excited to see the rest of the roster for the game when it is announced.

I’d like to use Grundy to do to Superman what Hulk did to Loki. 😆

No. It is very unrealistic that all super heroines have huge breast, but they are the norm. Breast size doesn’t bother me unless they get a little too big. From the picture you shown, they are about average for comic book heroines. I can’t think of one comic book heroine with small breasts.

To be taken -seriously- as a strong female character, yes.

To be placed in a fighting game series that has over sexualized female characters who are nothing more than sex objects? No.

DC in my eyes has become a joke. Now before I get burned for heresy, as iconic and memorable as their cast of characters are. The bottom line is that their female lineup is treated like tits and ass. This is what the comic industry believes a woman should be portrayed as.

I don’t agree with it, not for mainstream comics at least. I love big breasts and big female muscles like the rest of us fans, but I prefer those depictions be kept away from the younger more impressionable readers. What mainstream comics should be doing is featuring women of a variety of shapes and sizes. Fat, thin, flat chested, flat butt, medium build, heavy, short, scrawny, muscular.

Instead it’s nothing but constant porn star bodies ready to do some super powered fucking. Porn star bodies are great, if you’re trying to sell sex. But if you have readers of 8 and younger, giving girls a complex and making boys treat women like objects. That’s when I have a problem with their depictions of so-called “heroines.”

Sorry for the rant, I’m just really disappointed with how DC has been handling their characters lately.

No by all means, i’m completely with you on that. i grew up with DC and Marvel comics and i liked teh characters, at least how they were portrayed in the cartoons. But when i got older and collected teh comic books, I was really shocked! A good example for this trend is Starfire. If you guys ever seen the animated show, I liked starfire’s portrayal, she was awkward, funny, but steadfast and both physically and emotionally strong. of course when you pick up the new 52 comics, wow that’s all out the door.

So yeah, as much as i agree i love women with big breasts and muscles, to take a character really seriously, they can’t be just tits and ass.
