The method to Injustice writer Tom Taylor's recent barrage of online madness has been revealed as Injustice: Year Zero.While DC has yet to officially announce the series, cover art by Julian Totino Tedesco has leaked that features Batman fighting Wildcat, Black Canary/Dinah Lance fighting Black Canary/Dinah Drake and The Flash/Barry Allen fighting The Flash/Jay Garrick. It's also worth noting the DC Digital First branding, as well as the inclusion of Rogê Antônio and Rain Beredo's names beneath Taylor's.
Based on the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, Injustice is set in an alternate universe where Batman's group of underground warriors have defeated Superman's totalitarian regime. The comic book picked up where the first game left off, featuring a defeated Superman in captivity before Ra's al Ghul assembles a group of rogues to strongarm the world into reversing the effects of climate change, killing the President of the United States and several other political figures.Taylor's teases thus far have included a series of vague social media posts featuring single letters, which -- as he himself pointed out -- should hold significant meaning to DC fans.
The writer also previously alluded to the return of the All-Star Squadron, which was created by Roy Thomas, Rich Buckler and Jerry Ordway and debuted in 1981's Justice League of America #193 before being catapulted into its own self-titled series. The original team came together during World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor when many of the members of the Justice Society of America were in captivity. That said, the team's ranks included several JSA mainstays, as well as heroes from the Freedom Fighters and the Seven Soldiers of Victory -- essentially any and all available heroes on United States soil, far from the influence of Adolf Hitler, who possessed the Spear of Destiny at the time.
