Granted, this was an alternate Injustice reality. In this film, his descent into madness and rage was almost instantaneous. Moments like these added to Supes’ slow progression to becoming the evil tyrant he is in Injustice. They didn’t even use the scene where Superman breaks Batman’s back and then tortures him for information. Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Green Lantern battling Aquaman and Atlantis? Removed from the movie. The scene where Alfred Pennyworth meets Superman after he takes over? Didn’t happen. The problem with rushing a project is missing out all the good parts. Seeing the Man of Steel broken isn’t something to take lightly. How do you not mention the death of one of the best members of the Justice League? That’s why Superman turning into a tyrant after killing The Joker was monumental. A death doesn’t mean anything if nothing comes of it. He was killed and we didn’t hear about it again. When Superman defeated his evil counterpart in the comic book and video game, it meant something. It was just another villain defeated by the heroes. By the time the final battle ended, there wasn’t that much emotion to Superman’s loss. Five years of a movie done in what may have happened in a total of a couple of months tops. And it wasn’t just rushed, it poorly-executed. In the comic book series, she took her time and made certain that her moves were done without breaking her bond with Superman. It made her look more emotional than calculated. That’s not something Wonder Woman would do – not even in this reality. It hadn’t even been a week since Lois died. Wonder Woman’s attempt to kiss Superman was another rushed moment. We’d never seen Superman in this state so it was rather shocking in the source material but we didn’t get that here. That was a powerful moment that needed to happen. The fact that the scene in which he was sitting in the Fortress of Solitude with Joker’s blood still on his hands was left out highlights that. Everything after that, however, was done too quickly.
That was the most renowned moment of the series. Getting to Superman murdering Joker immediately made sense. Instead, however, it was compressed into a single film and the entire movie was rushed. Or, if they went the route of an animated series, they could go into detail and make it last longer. With that in mind, there really should have been multiple Injustice movies. The war between Batman’s Insurgency and Superman’s Regime lasted five years in comic book time.
