« NetherRealm Reveals "Injustice: Gods Among Us," an all-DC Universe Fighting Game »

According to Gamespot, Mortal Kombat developers NetherRealm Studios are working on Injustice: Gods Among Us, an all-new fighting game set in the DC Comics Universe. MK lead Ed Boon is no stranger to the world of Batman and Superman, having released Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe in 2008, but this marks the first fighting game dedicated entirely to the DC Comics canon.

The game will likely borrow some gameplay elements from last year's Mortal Kombat reboot, and will feature weapons and destructible environments. Among the confirmed fighters are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Solomon Grundy, and the Flash. Injustice: Gods Among Us is set for release sometime in 2013.
