Warner Brothers have revealed a new trailer for their upcoming animated DC movie, Injustice. The trailer opens with Joker kidnapping Lois Lane, an event that will set the rest of the series into motion. Using Scarecrow's fear toxin, Joker is able to trick Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn child. This is only a part of Joker's "masterpiece" as a nuclear device in the center of Metropolis is synced to Lois' heartbeat. When she dies, so too does the city that Superman swore to protect.
The rest of the trailer depicts the Man of Steel's slow descent into madness as he makes a new promise: that what happened to Metropolis will never happen again. Batman points out the path that Superman is walking will "throw away everything the Justice League stands for, a sentiment that is reinforced by Superman destroying fighter jets and taking a violent and tyrannical approach to those who oppose him.
