The Injustice story has become one of the most popular Elseworlds universe in the DC continuity, with a popular comic, multiple video games, and a recently released animated film being made revolving around the storyline. The story pitting Batman against Superman has kept fans tided for years, finally answering the questions they've always pondered: What would happen if Superman ever went off the edge?

While the moral and ethical stances Batman and Superman each take up can be understood from their own respective perspectives, there are certainly fallacies in their respective beliefs. And though it can be dismissed based on their own unique contexts, it can be argued that both Batman and Superman are right, as well as they are wrong in their beliefs in the Injustice universe.

8 Batman: Superman Was Going To Become Crazed With Power

Injustice Superman Clark Kent

Canonically, Batman is known for his constant vigilance, his preparation for any situation, and his paranoia. And with Superman's immediate rise to power, Batman not only saw the ethical qualms with Superman's intense no-nonsense policy with governing, but he also anticipated just how bad things could get. He feared that Superman would start to become less and less like the symbol of hope he had worked to become and that the power he was commanding would not only have a negative effect on the world but the people around him.

Sure enough, Superman started to show signs of breaking throughout the series, whether due to the unresolved emotional stress of his loss, or Batman's Insurgency. Either way, Clark started to become more aggressive and obsessed with stopping Batman's strike force, leading to him making incredibly volatile and risky decisions, such as siding with Sinestro, and accepting a Yellow power ring.

7 Superman: There Are Many Military Conflicts That Could Be Resolved Peacefully

When Superman first began his Regime, he started with good intentions. Having seen Metropolis leveled to dust, he wanted to make sure that no other city could ever become ground zero for a similar tragedy. Highlighting the militaries of warring countries as enabling death and destruction across the world, Superman went about calling for immediate ceasefires, threatening to involve himself and end the conflicts should the militaries move against him.

And while Batman saw this as an incredible invasion of rights and civil liberties, Superman did ultimately bring warring countries to a seeming era of peacetime, proving just how influential the Kryptonian could really be if he were to brutally apply himself. It can be argued that morally this isn't the kind of freedom Superman usually fought for, but after the destruction of Metropolis, and the death of his wife and child, this new Superman simply couldn't bear to see anyone else lose their families to mindless violence anymore.

6 Batman: Superman Was Starting To Police People

Despite Batman's many contingencies and obsession with having a prepared strategy for all of his friends and foes, he still does not believe in policing people, and still believes someone is innocent until proven guilty. One of his biggest concerns with Superman's Regime was how Clark would react once someone naturally opposed his ideas. Batman feared that it wouldn't be long before Superman would stomp out any sort of criticism leveled at him, and rule with an iron fist.

Sure enough, this became the reality of the situation, and Superman's aggressive and vicious nature came to the surface. In Injustice: Year One, a civil protest against the Regime was held in Australia, led by a superhuman by the name of Galaxor. A young superhero who idolized the Justice League, Galaxor claimed that the Regime had become unconcerned with helping people. In anger, Superman and Wonder Woman together paralyzed Galaxor, leaving him within an inch of his life, and made an example out of him to all those who would dare oppose them.

5 Superman: Batman's Crusade Is Completely About Him

Damian Wayne Injustice Nightwing

One of the biggest differences between the main DC Universe and the Injustice universe is the relationship between Bruce and his son Damian Wayne. A very troubled and rebellious young man, Damian craves his father's validation and affection but never seems able to get it, as Batman is constantly focused on his mission to keep order in Gotham. Superman pushes on this nerve as he points out to Batman how he is too narrow-sighted and obsessed with his own mission that he has let his relationship with Damian go by the wayside, proving that Bruce doesn't value family, and could never understand the pain of Superman losing Lois and their unborn child.

While Superman was right in highlighting Batman's failure as a parent to care for his clearly troubled son, he eventually would use this argument to manipulate Damian into joining the Regime, to spite Bruce and gain more attention. This would deepen the rift between Bruce and Clark, and would leave Damian in the crossfire of the two friends and their personal crusades.

4 Batman: Superman Ruling As A Dictator Was Never Going To Work

For all the grief that Batman has given Superman over the years, for everything from his public appearance to how he chooses to use his powers to help people, it's sometimes easy to forget that nobody cares for Superman quite like Batman. The perfect foil to Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent had everything in his life that Bruce never had: 2 sets of loving parents involved in his life, a happy, sunny childhood, and the chance to use his powers to make other people happy and feel safe. Instead, Bruce grew up alone, using his resources to strike fear into criminals, hoping that nobody would have to live the same tragedies that he had.

So when Superman eventually became a dictator-of-sort, Batman was the first to end his idealization of Clark Kent and simply saw Superman as he was: a grieving man, but one with immeasurable power, who was afraid and alone and taking it out on others. A kind of behavior the Dark Knight is all too familiar with, his opposition to Superman was largely in Superman's honor, as Batman fought to remind everyone why they do what they do, and more importantly, who Superman used to be and what he used to represent.

3 Superman: The Man Of Steel Is Still Earth's Best Savior

Darkseid Superman Injustice

Over the course of the Injustice series, Earth is attacked by multiple different threats. Superman's Regime and occupation of the planet gain the attention of many people from outer space, leading them to come to Earth as they believe that without the Justice League, Earth is ripe for the taking. Others arrive in order to regulate Superman, believing that if he successfully occupies Earth, then he will do the same to other planes in the galaxy. But despite the many off-world attempts to quell Superman, none of them succeed, proving just how unstoppable the Man of Steel truly is.

A full invasion from the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid, an intervention from the Guardians of the Universe and the Green Lantern Corps, and even involvement from the Greek Gods themselves, Superman resists all of these threats with ease. In his rage and his convictions, he is proven to be truly unbeatable, cementing not only the fear and the threat he truly poses but also Batman's convictions that he needs to be stopped.

2 Batman: People Are Going To Die

Despite all of Batman's paranoias, at the end of the day, he does what he does because he wants to keep people safe. Nobody wants that more than the Dark Knight, and it means he's willing to do whatever is necessary in order to keep people safe, whether he does it in the right way or not. At the core of his issue with Superman's Regime, Batman was thoroughly convinced that Superman and the other former members of the Justice League wouldn't be able to instill a sense of safety and peace in the population, and would begin to run rampant, taking control of whatever institutions they deemed to be harmful.

And though Batman was right, it was certainly a truth he had hoped would never come. As the Regime started becoming power-crazed, other members started noticing the effect they were having on the people they were meant to protect. However, before they could properly be stopped, Superman started killing other heroes, other former members of the League. Green Arrow, Shazam, Martian Manhunter, and even a pregnant Dinah Lance all became casualties of a power-crazed, grief-stricken warlord Superman, in harrowing deaths that show just how far the Man of Steel had fallen.

1 Superman: The Joker Had Gone Too Far For Too Long

Injustice Superman killing Joker, Batman looks horrified in the background.

There has long been a debate about Batman's working relationship with the Joker. Many have argued that Batman has been far too lenient with the Clown Prince of Crime, and that considering the incredible amounts of death and tyranny he has caused not only in Gotham but in Bruce Wayne's personal life, that a more permanent solution is necessary for the Joker. Batman has always refused any such thing, instead returning him to the revolving doors of Arkham Asylum each time.

This status quo was irreversibly changed when Superman killed the Joker, after the Clown infected Superman with a kryptonite-fear toxin, causing him to kill his wife and unborn child, as well as destroying Metropolis. Superman took vengeance into his own hands, and when Batman criticized his actions, Superman in turn blamed Batman for Lois' death and all of Metropolis, as it was Batman who had let the Joker live for years despite his heinous crimes.
