“I don’t like real world politics in my comics!” Injustice timeline: “you sureeeee?”

[@ninjaturtlefan2003]

Huge difference between an entertaining story that has politics versus a political propaganda piece.

[@edcaous]

Injustice was written to entertain, not to push politics. It was first a video game, that didn't have any deep messaging or even that great of a story. The comics were written as a prequel to the games. Its writers did try to add nuance, but they didn't have much room to work with because it was already predetermined that Superman had to become the villain by the time the game takes place. That first complaint is directed towards hack writers unsubtly pushing propaganda pieces from their political leanings, which leave a bad taste in the reader's mouth. Comparing the work of Injustice to some of the things Marvel's been doing recently, such as drawing your political enemies as the evil villains without any nuance, or attempting (and failing) to make a direct analogy between what you have drawn to an existing system is already low enough. It's worse when you don't have the writing to back up the message you're trying to convey. Injustice has been criticized for many things, but at the very least it is understandable and entertaining, compared to something like Marvel's Civil War 2, which makes NO sense and pretty much has no redeeming qualities.

[@yodayoda4764]

You've got the general gist of it but i feel that you really glossed over Batman's part in Superman's fall from grace. Batman doesn't lose his morals but that's cause he's a Moral Crusader. He's so obsessed with enforcing his code that he never tries to help or compromised with Superman at all. Instead he kept alienating himself to Superman, kept pushing the latter further into radicalization and turned himself into the enemy. He took Justice League members hostage, let the Flash be tortured by Harley, got members of his own Insurgency killed from incompetence and said members kept trying to kill members of the Justice League long before the League loses its way (Captain Atom and Manhunter). All this culminated in five years of slow agonizing defeat as the Earth is taken over by the now completely corrupted Superman, all because Batman couldn't be bothered to act like a Human being and help his best friend through the grief.

[@4ever3052pac]

yoda yoda To be fair, he did say he was gonna gloss over a few things and simplify the event. It would have been nice, but it seems like he wanted to focus primarily on the Superman side this time.

[@liuwang9899]

yoda yoda How? By killing people? Yeah, ever heard of the Justice Lords? Batman was right in the end, maybe not in the beginning, but after Superman kills Billy/Shazam (a kid mind you, who just didn't like what Supes did), and people who don't agree with him, Superman needed to go down. #Batmanwasright

[@yodayoda4764]

Superman's definitely crossed over the last moral line in year 3 (torture of a civilian) and 4 (lording over the Justice League members) and descended into absolute tyranny and corruption in year 5 and the game, ordering an assassination, the murder of Billy and his general attitude proves that. I am not arguing that Superman fell, but Batman helped push him down that path. There was a chance that the Batman could have served as the restraining influence for the League and prevented them from falling but he didn't. He turned himself into the enemy and didn't even bother to try talking with Superman. Members of his insurgency kept for the kill on Superman and Wonder Woman long before either of them crossed went crazy.

[@ruyman90]

Batman never really tried to talk with superman. He pretty much remind him every time that he did bad and he should feel bad for killing the joker. I don't really count the superboy incident because it was a one shot that the writers did to explain why the teen titans weren't involved (because they forgot about them). The time he crossed the line was when he killed Oliver in rage. Maritan Manhunter was a spy and tried to suffocate wonder woman and was killed by superman. In fact, while superman was questioning himself to what point he should take away rights such as right to use weapons (while talking with flash during a chess game) batman never questioned himself or answered any other opinion such as huntress asking him if it would have been better to not have superman kill the entire darksied's army and let millions of people including black canary and Green Arrow (present in the room) to die. He didn't answer anything. He didn't tell Damian why letting dangerous criminals live was the better option, he just said that "that's not how we do things".

[@liuwang9899]

ruyman90​ He didn't have to say anything, it wouldn't matter, they were too far gone, and what happened in the end? Superman became a dictator, he didn't even think like the Punisher, who only killed criminals, Superman killed innocent people, he had to be stopped.

[@josiahmoreno2758]

Josiah Moreno No, he's dead. That Arcade Ending has nothing to do with his story inclusion. As Martian Manhunter was about to kill Wonder Woman, Superman blasted her with so much force of his heat vision that Manhunter disintegrated. Before he was attacked by Wonder Woman, Manhunter was trying to save Superman from his mental health and showing him a sense of compassion and understanding through Pathos.

I see this as, what if Superman was a human being? This is to say, what if the power of Superman was placed in the hands of someone who does things like: lose his temper, doesn't always know what is the right thing to do, have mental/emotional issues in response to trauma, be stubborn, ect. The only reason standard-issue Superman works is that he is GOOD. Not "good" in the normal human sense that he has a genuine desire to live a moral life and overall contributes more than he takes. Superman is All-Caps, GOOD! His self-control does not waiver, he never loses his temper, is totally selfless, and never lets one cynical thought shake his faith in humanity. Were this not the case, you'd get Injustice.

[@friedfrog5447]

Superman is already guilty of everything you just listed. And the only reason he's good is because he was raised by two humans.

[@macree01]

Superman has had plenty of these types of moments in past story lines, the thing is there is a fine line between losing your temper or not knowing what the right thing to do is and ENSLAVING THE HUMAN RACE. I know it maybe hard to accept but not ALL humans are basket cases. There are some genuinely good people out there who even though they are a human that makes mistakes still can learn from it and not let it overcome them. A person who can have a cynical thought but not let it overwhelm their sense of doing right by their fellow man. I dont know what you consider "good" in the normal human sense, but I can say that ANY human can be a Superman if they do good unto others. Thats about as traditionally good in the human sense as you can get.

I never played this game but I watched game movies of this on youtube. It was while watching Injustice 2 that I realized that Batman is becoming the reason why people hate Superman.

In fact, he's turning into a mary sue. The only time Batman really loses is for shock value and intensity. You could make a video about that.

In Injustice, Batman lost quite often. One son died, the other joined the Regime, and one by one, he lost all of his allies. Black Canary was almost killed. Huntress was accidentally killed by Wonder Woman. Jim Gordon died of lung cancer. Etc, etc. By Year Five, Batman was out of options. Calling in the Justice League from another universe was a last-ditch effort, and even then it would have failed had alt-Superman not been brought in later.

[@Fenris30]

You connect with Superman not because of his powers but because he actually gives a shit about people.

[@nickkk420]

1:09 damn burn!!! 🔥🔥

[@whitewolf5069]

Damian killed Batman's closest thing to a second son Jason and Tim: are we a joke to you?

[@CadetGriffin]

8:34 - Megamind actually had a cameo in the story?

[@UncleMikeDrop]

If superman was evil he would be Zack Snyder' best bud.

[@GroverSpellshartVI]

At 5:52 I couldn’t stop chuckling at Batman’s eyes of pure shock and anger

@ 8:45 I almost lost it. Detective Chimp loses his hat!!

The quote "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" is true for superman.

Superman believes the US gov't tried to take his family as hostages... Because the US gov't hired Mirror Master to take his family as hostages

This was my introduction to the crazy world of Injustice. Thank you so much for giving me an unbiased, throughly detailed summary of the events of Injustice that allowed me to see both sides of this moral quandary. ❤

[@cringewars0162]

World: What if Superman was evil??? Brightburn: I’ll show you

[@Raptor3698]

That movie had potential, but sucked in the end.

[@wickiezulu]

It would have been interesting seeing how Superman's daughter (had she not been killed) interacts with Terry McGinnis and the rest of the future Justice League, that is if Lara Lane-Kent or some variation of the character eventually become part of the DC Main Universe down the line. Cannot imagine this alternate Supergirl being the Batman Beyond equivalent of Wonder Women though would not be surprised either way.

[@bluedog843]

It’s kinda funny that a movie just came out about a kid that’s basically an evil Superman and yea it’s an experience

[@Cruddy129]

So Scarecrow had died in Injustice 1 Yet he came back in the sequel Alternate Dimension bullshit should explain that

[@Schwartzbruder1]

"It was a dopple ganger body"

[@SynthVoice]

I'm pretty sure Scarecrow wasn't dead in Injustice one. They never actually say.

[@davidc.]

@@SynthVoice The wiki said scarecrow didn't die

[@ottovonbismarck7094]

What if the Bismarck battleship wasn't sunk and the Japanese made their I-400 submarine before the war ended, as in it was made in 1944 or 1943.

[@BearDrivingACar]

the bismark being sunk would have little to no effect on the war, Look at the tirpitz, her sister ship, all she did was sit in norway until she was sunk by bombers. And from the 30 seconds of research id just did on wikipedia on the i-400, just a few extra submarines and planes would have little effect on the massive combined industry and man power of america

[@ottovonbismarck7094]

The I-400 could deliver bomber planes undetected to the east coast and could strike Washington, D.C.

[@Britishwolf89]

A few bombers over Washington D.C would not end the war. Look at other nations and what they endured without surrendering. London was bombed on a constant basis but no one in Britain thought about surrendering. The result would have been the same except Japan would have wasted resources on a gamble that would have failed after it's initial surprise.

[@Strideo1]

Snake Exactly. If some sort of covert bombing strike had hit the capital of the US during WWII it would do very little to affect the outcome of the war. Even in the most successful case the most likely outcome would be the death of some of America's political and military leaders, Congress just holds session somewhere else for a while, and the American public is further outraged and motivated to put even more into the war effort. America's war making capabilities wouldn't be harmed much at all.

[@ottovonbismarck7094]

The I-400 could stealth bomb important targets like Pearl Harbor again.

[@Jonathan_M_Eriksson]

I was gonna go to sleep, but then i checked my youtube feed

[@Awakeningspirit20]

This reminds me of Superman: Red Son, where we also see that Superman's desire to do good can turn him into a monster.

The justice lords. Ever heard of it?

[@Stockfish1511]

justice lords is just oncept of crime syndicate used in animated series only. So basically you are talking about crime syndicate.

[@TheSpidersider]

Yes, this game's story is basically the same as that episode, except Batman didn't side with Supes in Injustice.

[@girlgarde]

Yeah, it was an alternate timeline of the Justice League cartoon in the 2000's. In it, Lex Luthor is elected President of the U.S and causes the death of the Flash. As a result, a bunch of stuff happens, Luthor tries to start a nuclear war but the Justice League/Lords stop him. Luthor taunts Superman about how he'll get out from prison and cause more harm to the world so Superman kills him. Fast forward 3 years later, the Justice Lords have taken over the world and while democracy has been subdued, so has crime, poverty and a bunch of other bad things. Justice Lord Batman meanwhile discovers an "alternate" Earth with a dimensional portal machine of some kind which is the Earth where the Justice League cartoon takes place in. The Justice Lords decide to help "fix" the Justice League Earth but know that their alternate counterparts will oppose their efforts so they opt to set a trap to restrain them while they go about "fixing" the Justice League Earth. For further info, check out the Justice Lords 2 parter in the cartoon.

[@genos5943]

when you realize DC plots are more sensible than Marvel

[@jibs5350]

Genos year 3 was batshit crazy, it depends on the author of the comic. the injustice comic authors changed after each chapter.

[@b.o.j.1442]

With all the sjw bullshit in marvel right I agree at least in comic books

[@rjdiggs738]

B.O.J. Must be racist and a sexist or just a plain moron. DC & marvel have always has both male and female Herod in both movies and comics but I guess you're just too stupid to realize that.

[@nebulis6509]

Rj Diggs I'm guessing you haven't read any marvel comic books?

[@zephy8002]

When you realise both are equally good and down to preference, so it's useless to compare which one is better.

[@roaringthunder115]

It was interesting... But also Batman and Robin... 8:22 Wow

[@doktorhund6926]

isnt this exactly what america is doing peace through fear you know cold war and stuff like that

[@lmao2302]

Less of the cold war and more like now. The amount of wars we have decreased. Mostly because 90% time the UN or America would invade or put sanction that cripple the economy of country's that would try to start a war.

[@doktorhund6926]

but the Un isnt america there are more countrys which are putting sanctions on the Country but america often ignores the un (iraq,syria) and goes into war with a country whitout permission of the un and without getting sanctions

[@MrStars-bj9yf]

In Injustice 2 Superman keeps saying that the people he killed were accidents. What was an accident: Damian killing Nightwing What wasn’t: Beating a man to death and Freezing a child’s mouth shut and killing him

Are you going to continue with the story of the Injustice game?

[@louisduarte8763]

Not surprised Damien Wayne would choose lethal force: he's not just Bruce's son, but the son of Talia al-Ghul, daughter of Ra's al-Ghul, founder of the League of Assassins.

[@ionlyreplytocucks8934]

Why do people keep saying Superman can't be hurt? Sure, he can take planet busting attacks and fight with Gods, but he's fought villians just strong as he if not stronger, and they have hurt him. It's like everyone forgets how many other OP characters are in the DC universe. Just because he can shrugg bullets doesn't mean he can't feel pain.

[@hdshow141]

TheLegend27 he can only get hurt if it's magic I think

[@ionlyreplytocucks8934]

HDSHOW Lol no. That "Magic and Kryptonite are the only things that can hurt him" shit you see in the KZbin comments is bs. Magic isn't even that big of a weakness to Superman, he's not completely helpless to it, magic just affects him like it does everyone else. Just read my comment "he's fought villians just as strong as he is if not stronger", if you don't believe me, just read some his fights with characters like Darkseid, Doomsday, Mongul, ect in the comics. People act like Superman just easily runs through every enemy that comes his way without getting hurt.

[@rotodexthepaleontologist2267]

TheLegend27 Exactly. People forget that in the justice league alone there are other superman tier characters. Martian Manhunter, Orion, Wonder Woman, The Atom, etc. and outside the justice league there are most new if not all new gods, Mogul, etc. there's a lot of powerful god like characters in DC.

[@8jijjoo126]

SkankHunt42 Every character in the Injustice universe was nerfed so that Supes is the strongest. He almost killed Darkseid. Keep in mind he is usually restrained by a moral code. This is a Superman that is completely merciless.

[@gingakami7205]

I only reply to fgts he really can't be hurt. At least not without kryptonite. Or magic.

[@CanadianHoneybadger]

A bit unrelated, but I love how in the second game, Jason Todd proves his worth by recognizing the evils of the regime and not joining them even if they seem to echo his values. It shows that even if he is an angst-ridden, rebellious teen, the fact he breaks the rule to kill villains isn't rooted in some rebellion against Batman. Its more than that, and he also is able to draw the line at tyranny and safety in my mind.

[@heathn9436]

I agree with Cyborg, i miss that Martian

The true villain of the Injustice universe is Wonder Woman. She was the one who pushed Kal-El over the edge and convinced him to become a tyrant, all because she lusted for him. It's why the Scarecrow scene in Injustice 2 was the most important scene in the game.
