Metropolis

Injustice Comic

Five years before the main events of the game, Metropolis is featured in the first three chapters before being destroyed by The Joker in a nuclear blast, murdering over 8 million people, among them Lois Lane, who was pregnant with Superman's child. Only one hundred thousand citizens of the city are revealed to have survived, among them Lex Luthor, who was rushed to an emergency bunker under the Lexcorp tower by a speedster.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

The opening of the game reveals the alternate Earth's Metropolis was destroyed by the Joker. On the Prime Earth, the Justice League battles Luthor's gahered villains and rush to stop the Joker from destroying the city with a nuclear device.

Five years later, Superman and Lex Luthor have rebuilt Metropolis into a more dystopian city, and it is where Batman and the Joker are transported when they are brought to the alternate Earth. Batman defeats the Joker here before being confronted by the One Earth troops, narrowly escaping and allowing the Joker to go free.

Later, when Lex Luthor goes to join the Insurgency in their battle against Superman's Regime, he is knocked out of the air by Harley Quinn and the Joker, battling and defeating them both on the streets before leaving.

Metropolis is seen again the last part of the game, being razed by Superman, Doomsday, Aquaman and the combined One Earth and Atlantean forces before being repelled by Wonder Woman and her Amazons, with Superman defeating Aquaman before battling Doomsday and his counterpart in the Fortress of Solitude.

Trivia

  • This stage was one of 5 from the crossover game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, to be redesigned by NetherRealm Studios for Injustice: Gods Among Us .
  • The amulet of NetherRealm's Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat, can be found in the Museum.
  • In the early versions of Injustice, the time of day was daytime. In the final version, it's overcast.
    • Also, in the early versions of the game, the screen in the Street area changed from the Regime's logo to Superman with glowing eyes and then back again at timed intervals. This was removed in the final game. The reason for that is not yet known.
    • In the early versions of the game, if a battle took place on the Rooftop area, it would show the Daily Planet globe that was incomplete. In the final versions, it's fully repaired.
