Fans of angrier, surlier versions of the classic DC UniverseOpens in a new tab characters are currently overjoyed by the release of the Injustice 2Opens in a new tab game, the sequel to Injustice: Gods Among UsOpens in a new tab. How gritty/grim/gnarly is this series usually? Well, it’s said to be Zack Snyder’sOpens in a new tab favorite DC related property, so make of that what you will. But if you love your DC icons wearing lots of extra armor and padding all over their costumes, then this is the video game franchise for you.
Now a YouTube user by the name of LOSTyGIRLOpens in a new tab has gone and uploaded the funniest clash interactions and quotes from the game.
