Injustice Images teases violent action from DC animated film

Several new images from the upcoming animated adaptation of Warner Bros. Injustice have now been exposed, teasing the vendetta that will tear the Justice League apart. The images give us a good look at the large roster of beloved DC characters, including Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Superman, and Green Arrow, as well as hints of the drama that will soon befall them.

An image confirms that the animated outing will not shy away from the violence inherent in the Injustice saga, showing Superman, who has become blinded by the destruction and death caused by the Joker, striking a whole in the chest of the infamous villain, perhaps in a twisted search for a heart.
