For a second year Ed Boon has been special guest in the DC FanDome. The NetherRealm Studios Creative Director joined actor Justin Hartley to discuss & preview the upcoming Injustice animated feature. Catch up on the special presentation right here:
The hit video game series has become a successful digital comic book and now an animated feature. Boon joined host, Geoff Keighley, in person, to discuss the unusual path of his DC Comics franchise, and Justin Hartley's performance as a Superman driven to absolute corruption by the human trauma of The Joker's sickening plot.
Batman voice actor Anson Mount (Star Trek Discovery) also made an appearance via video call to introduce a preview that shows the harrowing moment Superman falls for The Joker's grand scheme and makes a decision he can never undo.
The animated version offers a league of DC heroes who haven't appeared in either video game, drawing inspiration from the expansive tie-in comics, as well as introducing all new twists unique to the adaptation. Fans can still expect nods to the source, with Ed Boon noting his excitement at spotting some super moves from the video game.
