The Joker Unleashes Bloody Rated “R” Violence in DC Animated Movie ‘Injustice’ [Trailer]
The Joker forces a whole new attitude out of Superman when he kills Lois Lane in the upcoming DC event movie Injustice, an animated adaptation of the same-titled video game.
Rated “R” for “Bloody violence,” the movie comes to 4K, Blu-ray & Digital October 19. It’s produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
Courtesy of IGN, you can check out the official trailer below.
“Inspired by Injustice: Gods Among Us, and the best-selling DC graphic novel based on the video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One by Tom Taylor, the animated film finds an alternate world gone mad – where The Joker has duped Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the Man of Steel on a deadly rampage. Unhinged, Superman decides to take control of the Earth for humanity’s own good. Determined to stop him, Batman creates a team of like-minded, freedom-fighting heroes. But when Super Heroes go to war, can the world survive?”
The voice cast includes Kevin Pollak as Joker, Justin Hartley as Superman, and Anson Mount as Batman. Other DC characters featured in the movie include Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Aquaman, Nightwing, Captain Atom, and Mirror Master.
Matt Peters (Justice League Dark: Apokolips War) directed Injustice from a screenplay by Ernie Altbacker (Batman: Hush). Learn more about the film over on IGN’s YouTube channel.
Recent comments from producer Jason Blum suggested that a retool was in order when last year’s The Exorcist: Believer wasn’t as successful as Blumhouse and Universal hoped. That certainly seems to be the case, as Deadline reports tonight that Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the next Exorcist movie.
Director David Gordon Green was initially on board to direct an entire trilogy of new movies in the franchise, with The Exorcist: Believer intended to be only the first film in that three-film sequel series. Originally set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025, sequel The Exorcist: Deceiver was delayed when Green left the project.
If talks come to fruition, Flanagan will take over, likely steering the franchise in a new direction.
The first film in the trilogy was released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring alongside a returning Ellen Burstyn from the original classic.
In Believer, “Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom, Jr.) has raised their daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own.
“But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before.”
The final moments of The Exorcist: Believer brought Linda Blair’s Regan MacNeil back into the fold, seeming to suggest that the legacy character could return in future installments.
As for Flanagan, the horror filmmaker has Life of Chuck on the way. Flanagan previously helmed Stephen King adaptations Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, and he’s also known for titles including Ouija: Origin of Evil and Oculus, along with the Netflix horror shows The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Fall of the House of Usher.
