Injustice
The Injustice movie is both a DC comic and NetherRealm fighting game adaptation and manages to do poorly by both its source materials. The animated Injustice movie is too short to tell the story it’s adapting. Rather than making a series of films to more effectively tell the story of Superman’s descent into fascism, it takes a hard left turn in the final minutes to wrap up the story quickly. I’ll never forget the whiplash of watching this film and realizing that a lot of its strange decisions like killing off The Flash, who typically played an important role in the Injustice storyline, were all meant to make one film in what could have easily been several. If we’d gotten a series of Injustice films rather than one that hurriedly wrapped up a years-long comic and video game series in a brisk 78 minutes, we could look back on it much more fondly. — Kenneth Shepard
