The World’s Finest has published its review of the DC Animated Movie title Injustice, which is available to own now on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray and Digital. In short, Injustice shines when the fists fly, but without a fully-developed story and ample character beats to give these life-and-death tussles meaning, the animated adaptation ends in more of a draw than a flawless victory. To read the complete review, click on the image below.
In addition to a detailed review, the above image link also leads to additional content, including video clips, imagery and more. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment describes Injustice as follows:
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?
Injustice, adapting the acclaimed Injustice: Gods Among Us video game and comic series, is now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray and Digital HD. Stay tuned for further Injustice updates and coverage right here at The World’s Finest!
