The series is set in an alternate universe where Joker tricks Superman into killing pregnant Lois Lane and five million Metorpolis citizens with a nuclear bomb attack. Superman turns psychopathic after this event, who then kills Joker in revenge. Five years later, the Kryptonian rules the planet with utter ruthlessness and no mercy to criminals. Batman then recruits the Justice League from another universe to intervene and save the planet from evil Clark Kent.

The second iteration of the series, titled Injustice 2, released in 2017. The game revolved around Batman as he tries to rebuild his planet after the death of the Evil Superman. Along with that, the series also featured prequel comics written by Tom Taylor and Brian Buccelato, which showcased the story of these characters in the five years between the death of Lois and the JL’s intervention.
