Superman fries a bunch of Parademons and beats Kalibak enough to make him surrender. Kalibak strikes against him, but gets put down. The powerless vigilantes like Huntress, Batwoman, Green Arrow, and so on. He wants to bring him in alive, but then Wonder Woman arrives and chops open his neck. While mocking Superman for no longer being selfless, Captain Atom makes sure to fly to space and drags Superman with him.
Wonder Woman follows but the explosion blasts her back to Earth and puts her in a coma for over a year. The whole first volume leads up to this moment. The government betrays him. Batman betrays him. Wonder Woman is gravely injured. Green Arrow shoots an arrow at Superman and it deflects. Although Ollie dies, he does at least fire an arrow with a super pill tacked onto it. When Superman comes down from his rage, he refuses to take responsibility and blames Batman for this death as well.
The two end up together and return for Injustice 2. Green Lantern Kyle Rayner missed out on the whole Superman situation because he was off Earth for an entire year. As he goes back to check up on everything, including his girlfriend who may or may not be pieces of broken meat in his fridge. Normally, Superman, Shazam, and Hawkgirl would be able to take on an army of those guys themselves, but the Corps has an ace in their sleeve that nobody expected.
With Superman back in action, the Green Lanterns have no choice but to surrender. Then, from the Justice League satellite, he looks at the beauty of Earth and says his goodbyes to Barbara and Batman.
Superman, on the other hand, has the Sinestro Corps at his disposal. There are many casualties on both sides. John Stewart is in the middle of it all. Guy is overwhelmed and begs Hal to get a hold of himself. The death of a random Sinestro Corps member causes the loose ring to find a replacement in Superman. A pissed off Injustice Superman and a yellow wishing ring are the makings for a pretty bad day and he proves his power by slamming Ganthet into Mogo and pushing them both into the sun.
The annual issue came out after the entirety of Year Three , but it takes place before it, filling in some of the blanks. Batman hires the two-in-one duo of Dr. Occult and Rose as his agents with the mission of neutralizing Raven and Wonder Woman. Occult finds and assaults Raven, but she is quick to burn him to death with Hellfire. Rose is separated from the charred body.
John Constantine — who had been stalking the mystics — appears and helps take Raven down. Her final words are a failed attempt to tell Batman not to trust Constantine.
Immediately after, Constantine appears and robs her body of magic trinkets. Batman recruits a handful of magic users to help his cause. Detective Chimp, who mentions having worked with Gordon in the past, gets through to him and convinces him to stay. Jason Blood steps in to do the same and begins to summon Etrigan to take his place. Constantine briefly captures Superman with the help of Ragman. Deadman possesses the body of Shazam in order to save Constantine and talk some sense into the Spectre.
Spectre pulls out his giant sword and cuts through Deadman, wounding his soul. Deadman goes to his boss Rama Kushna, who cannot save him. Deadman chooses someone to take his place.
In his final moments, Boston Brand transfers his power into the soul of Dick Grayson, who gladly takes on the Deadman mantle. Spectre strikes against him, strangling Stranger while shoving him through the entirety of Saturn. Hence all the smiling and Joker-like gestures. He calls to teammate Klarion the Witch Boy to teleport them out of there, but before anything can be done, Sinestro blasts Klarion to death with his yellow ring.
Superman and Wonder Woman yell at Sinestro, which gives Batman and Constantine a moment to discuss their next contingency. Showing that you either go big or go home, Constantine summons Trigon to distract Superman and friends. As the heroes escape, Detective Chimp refuses to follow. As he tells Harley, he was conjured by Klarion in the first place.
With Klarion gone, Chimp will soon cease to exist. Harley, who has become attached to the little guy, hugs him until he vanishes. The rest of Year Three sort of spins its wheels until it gets to the final issue. Mxyzptlk in the background.
Huntress and Batwoman — both powered up with super pills — team up on Superman until Wonder Woman steps in. What do you expect? Instead, this kill ends up being a bizarre editorial mystery, best explained with the next entry. A few years ago, there was a pretty big news story regarding DC editorial. They just hate ALL marriage! Which is stupid for other reasons, but whatever. Tom Taylor, writer of Injustice at the time, had a one-panel scene showing that in this universe, Batwoman and Renee Montoya who at the very least were an item in main continuity are married back as of Year Two.
Brian Buccellato took over during Year Three and, as mentioned, killed off Huntress. She starts drinking heavily. She calls up an ex to give a tearful goodbye, and goes on a suicide run to kill the ones responsible. Over Huntress. She has zero interaction with Batwoman her wife , and even when Montoya dies, Batwoman barely has any reaction. Oh, right. The actual death. Renee Montoya overdoses on super pills and calls out Superman for a public fight, beating on him until her heart gives out.
Year Four is about the Greek Gods stepping in to clown Superman and take over. The heavy hitter is Hercules, who easily defeats Hal Jordan and then fights off both Wonder Woman and Superman, batting the latter into space. Shazam shows up and finally brings the demigod down. Hercules awaits his death, but Shazam refuses to commit murder. In the end of this volume, both sides of the Injustice conflict join forces to fight the gods.
Artemis shoves her queen out of the way and takes the blast herself. The annual is a delightful prison break story starring Plastic Man as he tries to rescue his activist son, Offspring. Turns out the Justice League has placed all of the super criminals in an underwater prison with Metamorpho as the warden. Plas sneaks around and gets help from inmate Kilowog, who starts a riot by headbutting Bane. Superman and his heavy hitters appear outside the glass bubble protecting the prison, and it looks like all is lost.
Outside the bubble, Sinestro freaks out and, despite the warnings of Jordan, blasts through the bubble and shoots through Kilowog before he can be a threat. Superman gets some unlikely help from Bane, who…puts…Doomsday…in a full-nelson…?
This frees Superman up to go bail out his buddies by grabbing Parasite and flinging him into the sun. Bizarro, not really understanding who or what he is, grabs Trickster and flies away to get answers. The Gotham detective starts his own anti-Regime group called the Joker Underground to rally against Superman and maybe do some terrorist stuff.
The Trickster tries to help Bizarro figure things out and makes an attempt to teach him how to keep his powers in check. For instance, when Bizarro sneezes, he definitely needs to cover his face, as the alternative almost kills Trickster. Trickster is mad at first, blaming himself for not being able to convey his thoughts better to the big lug, but is able to get over it.
He and Bizarro are family. It was revealed that not only was she secretly jealous of Lois Lane but her already dark heart was made worse by the Metropolis event. Superman was so close to letting go and grieving in a healthy manner but Diana came along and stoked his fears thus driving him even farther to the dark side thus creating the High Councilor. Joker was merely the kindling, it was Wonder Woman who acted as the match.
In a more realistic turn of events, Superman was not the only one affected by the Metropolis event: Cyborg lost friends, Hal Jordan succumbed to his fears becoming a Yellow Lantern, and the already cold Wonder Woman went even colder. Some heroes also just followed Superman because he was the hero of heroes. However, in other cases, characters like The Flash or Catwoman, they were forced to sign the loyalty oaths out of fear for not only their lives, the lives of their loved ones, and in Aquaman's case: the lives of his people.
How can someone like Harley Quinn possibly fight Wonder Woman in a one on one fight? For the sake of it being a fun video game, players try to just ignore it but there is actually an explanation for this: a special pill created by Earth-1's Lex Luthor and Batman.
This pill made from Kryptonian DNA alters the user to make them superpowered enough to take bullets and allow Batman to fight Superman. One of the most famous examples of this was actually from the comics in which loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth defended Bruce by completely demolishing Superman.
Batman may have kept contingencies for Superman's turn to the dark side but it wasn't enough for what Joker did which led to the deaths of Nightwing, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter , several members of the Titans, Shazam, and many more. To some degree, these deaths helped drive some people to join the Insurgency; such as Barry Allen who served Superman out of fear but the moment Billy was murdered by the man he admired, Barry helped Batman take down the Regime.
The unfortunate truth is, whether it was intentional or not, yes it did. In Injustice 2 , gamers are given a flashback to the night Damian betrays his father and sides with Superman. In the prequel comics, this is the sequence in which Damian accidentally kills Nightwing. Years later, prior to the events of the first game and following Superman's murder of Joker , Batman and Robin attempt to stop the Regime from rounding up Arkham inmates for execution.
Batman attempts to literally knock sense into Superman, but fails to dissuade him from continuing his extreme measures. Seeing Superman's new policy towards criminals aligns more with what he was taught by the League , Robin joins the Regime, killing Zsasz as a show of trust.
In the present, five years after the fall of the Regime, Bruce Wayne and his collaborators are attempting to piece the world back together. However, a new faction, the Society , composed of villains spearheaded by Gorilla Grodd , emerges and plans for world domination. With governments still rebuilding, and no armies, Bruce is forced to send his allies, the Black Canary and Green Arrow from the other universe, and Harley Quinn to combat the Society in Gorilla City , where Doctor Fate warns Green Arrow and Black Canary of an incoming threat towards the planet.
After defeating Grodd, the two are abducted by Brainiac , the true mastermind behind the Society. Having previously collected and destroyed Krypton , he had intended to reclaim Superman, but became interested in adding Earth to his collection.
After Brainiac takes over Batman's communications hub, Brother Eye , Batman searches for allies to combat him. A pardoned Flash and a reformed Hal Jordan reunite before joining Batman, who sends the latter to Atlantis to gain Aquaman 's assistance. Aquaman refuses to cooperate, but relents after Brainiac attacks Atlantis. Blue Beetle and Firestorm initially manage to hold off Superman's allies, but are eventually overwhelmed.
Firestorm prepares to go nuclear as a last resort, but is stopped by Batman. Desperate to stop Brainiac , Batman releases Superman from custody and forms an uneasy alliance with the Regime fugitives.
