10 Awesome Alternate Versions Of Superman

This Superman resides in a dystopian parallel universe depicted in the Injustice: Gods Among Us comics and video games. The alternate Kal-El begins his crusade as the traditional wholesome saviour all fans know and love. However, his turn down a dark path begins after Joker causes the death of Lois Lane, pregnant with Clark’s child. The grieving Man Of Steel establishes an autocratic regime with the goal of ending war and crime across the world.

In this story Superman is placed as a tragic hero in Shakespearean vein, waging a war of revenge on evil, and gradually becoming everything he once fought against.

Batman stands in opposition, leading a resistance movement against Superman’s regime. This shared antipathy climaxes in an event which adds the litany of famous brawls between the pair, as they ultimately come to blows. Without a kryptonite weapon at the ready, Batman is utterly helpless against the might of the angry Kryptonian god, whose autocracy persists.
