Now we have another game confirmed for the Wii U hopefully this one is good.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have just unveiled Injustice: Gods Among Us, which is a superhero fighting game set in the DC Universe. Based on the debut trailer above, it appears as though something has turned the Earth's greatest heroes into the Earth's deadliest villains, who are now pitted against each other in mortal combat.

Spotted characters include Batman, Superman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn (!!), Lex Luthor and Solomon Grundy, all of whom seem capable of delivering incredible amounts of damage to one another. Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch for on the PS3, 360 and Wii U sometime in 2013.

[Update] Injustice's character roster is split into two categories: "Power" characters like Superman and Wonder Woman, and "Gadget" characters like the Batman and (presumably) Harley Quinn. Depending on a character's class, they'll be able to interact with the environment in different ways. Batman may be able to slam Wonder Woman's head into a parked car, for instance, while Wonder Woman is able to slam a parked car into Batman's head.

Environmental hazards are set to play a major role in the game, adding a bonus level of strategy to each character match-up, according to this video interview with NetherRealm's Ed Boon: "You're really going to want to care where you are, in which background, with which character."

Additionally, the debut trailer clearly shows the Flash narrowly avoiding a massive icicle, which may be a strong indicator of the presence of either Captain Cold or Mr. Freeze. Injustice will have "at least as many" fighters as Mortal Kombat, according to Gamespot.

[MorbidGod]

Um, can you say amazing? It is basically mine.

[Xiombarg]

Cool. Maybe it's based off the similar story of Earth 2 or the Justice League goes rogue concepts.

But Solomon Grundy really implies something with him being there, he's not a very popular character.

[neverwinteru]

Im not gonna lie the only part that got me hype about this game was seeing the wii u logo at the end of the trailer, it truly made me excited.

Plus even though mk vs dc was terrible maybe this will be pretty good considering mk9 was great and this game will have an all superhero cast.

Yes, also they said they were going to use Unreal Engine 3 for next few years. Mortal Kombat 9 use Unreal Engine 3 also.

I have added an Interview Video and Images of the game.

Well they took down the videos I'll link it to GameSpot.

The press release made it sound really awesome. Hopefully it's as good as it sounds!

[GunGoomba]

This game looks amazing. I really like Harley Quinn's design. Which comic is it in? Also, I knew all the characters except Solomon Grundy. Who's he?

[Kuta∞sthA]

I hope Batman comes with "prep time."
