2021 has been a massive year for animated DC Comics films, and there are still more to come. Having already released Batman: Soul of the Dragon, Justice Society: World War II, Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam, Batman: The Long Halloween Part I, and its sequel Batman: The Long Halloween Part II, another title is set to drop this month.
Two animated films are already announced for 2022 in the form of DC League of Super-Pets and Catwoman: Hunted, but before then, fans will be treated to a much darker storyline - that of Injustice.
Mortal Kombat and Netherrealms Studios fans will recognize Injustice immediately as a video game title with an extremely dark presence. Adapting the story of the game as well as the comic books based on the same plotline, the images and trailer footage make it clear that the animated film won't be shying away from the gory source material in the least.
In the multiple tweets above, you can see a gallery of images that have been shared promoting the animated film. While there are a lot of interesting character details to be found here, the image of Superman punching a hole through The Joker is undoubtedly the most jaw-dropping and heart-stopping - pun intended.
What do you guys think of these images? Are you excited to check out Injustice this month, or will you be skipping the title in anticipation of the DC League of Super-Pets? Regardless of your take, be sure to check out the trailer and synopsis for the film below and as always, share your thoughts in the usual spot!
