It was recently confirmed that DC Entertainment's next animated feature would be an adaptation of Netherrealm Studios' best-selling Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, and we now have an official release date along with a first look at the Blu-ray cover art.
Injustice will arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray and Digital on October 19.
The movie looks set to follow the premise of the game pretty closely, with the story taking place "on an alternate Earth in which the Joker has tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the hero on a rampage. This unhinged Superman decides to take control of Earth for its own good, leading Batman and his allies to attempt to stop him."
The artwork features a raging Man of Steel attacking Batman as Wonder Woman does her best to restrain him.
Inspired by Injustice: Gods Among Us, NetherRealm Studios’ popular video game, and the best-selling DC graphic novel based on the video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One by Tom Taylor, the animated film Injustice finds an alternate world gone mad - where The Joker has duped Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the Man of Steel on a deadly rampage. Unhinged, Superman decides to take control of the Earth for humanity’s own good. Determined to stop him, Batman creates a team of like-minded, freedom-fighting heroes. But when Super Heroes go to war, can the world survive?
This adaptation has Matt Peters (Justice League Dark) on board as director, with Ernie Altbacke (Batman: Hush) penning the story. You can check out a full rundown of the impressive voice cast below.
