Did Injustice ever do anything other than Superman messily murdering heroes, then a hero or two kicking his rear end via last stand lucky shot before getting messily murdered in return?

That one Green Lantern who was a cartoonist before getting the ring put it to rather more creative use, as I recall. It's not the rings fault that the previous users were an ex-Marine and Guy Gardner, ex-cop and dumbass extraordinaire

It did a lot of stuff with Harley Quinn, and showed how good Tom Taylor can be. The problem was that there were certain beats he had to do.

Superman revealed Batman's identity on Twitter. That was funny. Injustice is good stuff. It's also the only time I've read a good Harley Quinn in comics.

Yeah ultimately the story has to end with "Superman in charge of fascist world" because the game has to happen and that story's already written.

Yeah, but outside of "These characters have to stay alive, and this is how your story arc this year has to end to match up with the game" they were allowed to go hog wild, and boy howdy did they ever.

And even that they played with more than a bit. I know they killed off Ollie and then brought in an alternate universe version of him at one point.

Basically Black Canary 'died' fighting Superman but Dr. Fate basically hosed reality to give her a chance to escape to a safe place with a just-slightly-to-the-left-universe-wise version of Ollie. This actually got retained for Injustice 2 which is why Green Arrow is back there.

The ring chooses the next user on the death of the Green Lantern wearing it. Unless that's not canon anymore. Stupid ring.

It chooses someone who can overcome great fear and show their entire rear end pressed ham straight to Batman's face.

John Stewart is also a great character. He is not someone who goes headfirst into a yellow billboard or slips on soap in the shower hitting his head.

I just love that, even if only for a second, he gets Cyborg to actually think about it and look up at Sinestro.

That entire story is absolutely amazing, both for being a great story as well as an object less of why anyone should be absolutely terrified of Plastic Man.

Yeah to be honest most of Injustice, both the comics and the games, are hit and miss, and for the original comic it was definitely mostly miss, but the Plastic Man annual was straight up a fantastic story.

I'm pretty sure that, aside from the aforementioned forced separation, the goggles are just straight up fused to his face, like they're part of him. I mean, I'm sure he could morph himself regular eyes if he wanted to but I guess he just likes his look and I respect that.

The latter, because that's how a lot of DC fans frame Injustice and Superman has gotten like-- a lot of poo poo in the last 20 years.

He just walks around nude the whole time, why would goggles be any different?

So, that ring you got there, what does it do... That. That. That. Holy crap, what doesn't it do. "CATCH!" <tosses grenade> It doesn't make you smarter. -- Tommy Monaghan, reading Kyle Rayner's mind.
