If you have ever spent time imagining who would come out on top if Superman and Batman ever faced off in open combat, you certainly wouldn't be the first fan to have done so, nor the last by some distance. And now, thanks to the just announced Injustice: Gods Among Us, Warner Bros are potentially offering fans the power to play that battle out in their own hands, facing two of the greatest superheroes ever against one another in the upcoming combat game from Mortal Kombat devs NetherRealm. Injustice: Gods Among Us is set to pit some of the DC Universe's most famous and infamous superheroes and villains against one another and will introduce 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. All of those characters can be seen in the official announcement trailer below... http://youtu.be/A7EloL_G4mU 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. Hopefully that will mean that Batman and Superman will be able to face off against one another. The press release features word from both Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros.
