However, in the midst of that chaos, a new threat appears that will put Earth’s existence at risk.

Arriving May 16, “Injustice 2” features such playable characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Gorilla Grodd and Blue Beetle, with arenas in DC Universe locations like Gotham City, Metropolis and Atlantis.
