“The Battle Within: A History of the #Injustice Universe” - Clash of the Titans: #TomTaylor concludes “Year One” of his tie-in comic series for the #videogame #InjusticeGodsAmongUs with issues 11 and 12 (Chapters 30 - 36), cover illustrated by #SantiCasas, #DavidLopez and #MicoSuayan and interior panels by #MikeMiller presented. #Batman goes to the U.S. President and asks him to create a distraction for #Superman so him and the Insurgency can have time to find the Super-pills Superman and his #JusticeLeague want to use for their reign. As Batman, #Catwoman, #CaptainAtom, #GreenArrow and #BlackCanary find the super-pills are in the Fortress of Solitude, they sneak in to find Clark’s parents Jonathan and Martha Kent. Superman, hearing his mother, steps away from the President’s distraction involving U.S. Naval ships going to Korea and heads to the Fortress, immediately combating Captain Atom. In the struggle, #WonderWoman helps an almost defeated Superman by cutting Atom’s throat. In the process, Diana is severely wounded and is aided by #Cyborg while Superman returns and confronts Ollie. As Green Arrow shoots his arrows in defense, one accidentally hits Jonathan’s shoulder, sending Superman into a violent rage. Before the Man of Steel pummels Green Arrow to death, he is able to grab a super-pill, tie one and a tracker courtesy of the #DarkKnight to his arrow and shoots it for the Insurgency to find. Returning to the Insurgency base, the #CapedCrusader forces everyone, to hide in a safe place while he goes to the Batcave to try and synthesize the super-pill. While working in the cave, Superman finds him and Batman begins to guilt him on killing Ollie and how he isn’t honoring Lois Lane’s death. Superman lifts Batman over his knee and breaks his back but the pill has already been analyzed. As the Man of Steel continues to beat up Batman, #AlfredPennyworth enters the cave having ingested a super-pill and begins to pummel Superman until he is knocked out. Year One ends with Superman taking his league Batman is officially a terrorist and he intends to keep the world safe however he sees fit. ✌🏼💙🦇#HistoryoftheBatman #DCComics #ComicBooks #InstaBatman

“The Battle Within: A History of the Injustice Universe” - Conflict of Interest: In March 2014, #TomTaylor continues the tie-in comic series for 2013’s video game #InjusticeGodsAmongUs with #Injustice Year Two, with issues 1 and 2 (Chapters 1 - 4) illustrated by #BrunoRedondo (cover art by #JheremyRaapack, #DavidLopez and #SantiCasas). After a brief flashback between Black Canary, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and #GreenArrow, the scene switches to Ollie’s funeral with has #Superman and his #JusticeLeague consisting of #Robin, The Flash and Lex Luthor. When Superman tries to talk to Canary, she gives out a loud canary call which almost brings the Man of Steel to kill her but he realizes Dinah is carrying Ollie’s baby and he leaves her alone, feeling guilty he killed the father of her unborn child. As Superman heads to Gotham and asks #CommissionerGordon where #Batman is, we see #AlfredPennyworth seeking the aid of #Zatanna who brought Bruce, whose back was recently broken by Superman, to the tower of #DoctorFate, a place invisible to Superman. Meanwhile, Superman calls in Green Lantern and Flash to meet the U.S. Congress who are about to shutdown the government and force them to make a resolution by any means necessary. The President of the United States calls Bruce but the call is redirected to #Oracle (Barbara Gordon) who assures the POTUS she is on the side fighting against the Man of Steel’s tyranny. POTUS tells Oracle that Superman’s regime has taken Congress hostage. Elsewhere, Robin informs Superman, who has learned #WonderWoman remains unconscious from her fight with Captain Atom and has to be taken back to Themiscyra to properly heal, that #Sinestro has arrived at #Watchtower to inform them the Green Lantern Corps wants Earth to return to its rightful rule even if that means stopping Superman. The confrontation between Superman’s regime and the Corps goes full force in the next chapters of Year Two, which we will cover next in this retrospect. ✌🏼💙🦇 #TheBatman #HistoryoftheBatman #DCComics #BatmanArt #ComicBooks #Comics
