Batman’s superior tactics win out once again in the final round of the Injustice: Gods Among Us battle arena. After a month of fights, it came down to the two most iconic characters in the DC Comics universe. The victor was decided by votes, but it was pretty obvious that Batman was going to win anyway.

Injustice: Gods Among Us has been available since Tuesday, and early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. There seems to be some issues with balance, but that shouldn’t bother hardcore DC fans looking to live out their fantasy of Aquaman becoming the most powerful DC hero.

If you’re unfamiliar with the events leading up to hero vs. hero fights in Injustice, let’s just say that Metropolis is no more and Superman is very angry. You should avoid the video below if you don’t want the opening moments of the game’s story spoiled, but there’s some quality storytelling and acting here. The Joker in particular stands out even though it’s a little sad that Mark Hamill didn’t reprise his role this time around.

If you don’t like spoilers and just want to watch super heroes beat each other up, you should check out the launch trailer for the game. There’s plenty of combat to go around.

Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch on April 16 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

Killer Frost and Ares, villains opposite of Firestorm and Wonder Woman respectively, are joining the fray. Instead of spotlighting the characters separately, the reveal trailer instead pits the villains against each other. Fans will get to the specials for each character as well with Ares’ special being especially awesome.

The addition of Killer Frost is especially interesting as it seemingly confirms that Firestorm will be added to the game as well. Every character revealed thus far has had their opposing hero or villain added to the roster so it only makes sense.

Thankfully, the iOS version of Injustice isn’t a poorly constructed fighting game for mobile platforms. Instead, the team has created a thoughtful title that combines the cinematic fights of its console brother with an accessible collectible card game mechanic that players can use to level up their fighters.

As an added bonus, Injustice for iOS unlocks exclusive content in the console version of the game. It’s not being said what can be unlocked, but it’s probably a few costumes or other aesthetic rewards. Still, it’s better than nothing.

You can grab Injustice for iOS here. It’s a free-to-play title supported by microtransactions that aren’t exactly micro. There’s something definitely wrong when an in-game item costs $100, but that debate is for another time.

Before we get to that, however, Batman and Superman had to emerge victorious over their opponents in the semi-finals. First up, Batman squared off against The Flash where Batman easily took the win. Of course, some YouTube commenters are not exactly pleased with the outcome – rightly pointing out that The Flash could handily beat Batman in a matter of seconds if the outcome was decided by anything other than voting.

The other matchup saw Superman taking on Green Lantern. Once again, votes decide the ultimate victor, but this fight is at least a little more balanced. Green Lantern can easily put up a decent fight against Superman, but the combined powers of Superman and Killer Croc were just too much to bear.

The final fight between Superman and Batman will air two weeks from now. Both characters are incredibly popular so it will be interesting to see which hero gets the most votes.

It was announced that Black Adam will be joining the cast of Injustice: Gods Among Us. For those unaware, Black Adam is the villain/anti-hero opposite of Captain Marvel/Shazam. It’s unclear as to how he or Shazam will fit into the story, but Black Adam’s move set looks to be a more aggressive version of Shazam’s.

With this latest announcement, the Injustice roster is now at 24 characters. The developers may have to start looking into more obscure characters if they aim to add anymore. If they do start to add more obscure characters, I can only hope that Mr. Banjo at least makes a cameo appearance.

First up, we have the much anticipated match up between Batman and Wonder Woman. Since the victors are decided by popular vote, it’s pretty obvious that Batman would win this fight. That being said, Wonder Woman puts up a great fight. Her stage is also a thing of beauty.

In what is possibly the strangest matchup today, The Joker and The Flash face off. I would have figured that The Joker would win the most votes, but The Flash came through to earn himself a spot against Batman in the semi-finals.

On the other side of the bracket, we first have Aquaman versus Green Lantern. While it was nice to see Aquaman come away with at least one win, he couldn’t stand up to the might of Hal Jordan.

The final fight is by far the most unfair of the bunch – Superman versus Green Arrow. Green Arrow has some amazing trick arrows, but Superman was guaranteed to win.

The results of the quarterfinals ensure that we’re in for a treat once the semifinals start up a few weeks from now. I’m especially interested in seeing that Batman versus The Flash fight. It’s sure to be exciting.

Injustice: Gods Among Us hits Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 26

According to a report from the Fort Myers, Florida Fox affiliate, the incident occurred last week, when the student wrestled a loaded .22 caliber revolver from a fellow 15-year-old student’s hands after it had been pointed at a classmate. Two other students then helped to disarm the suspect, who’s name has not been released but who was reportedly a member of the Cypress Lake High School football team.

The Lee County School District subsequently suspended the “hero” for three days. According to Fox, the suspension referral states that he was “part of an incident” where a weapon was present. According to the student’s mother, the suspension is retaliation for the student refusing to participate in the investigation into the incident.

“It’s dumb,” said the student. “How they going to suspend me for doing the right thing?” [sic]

Earlier this week, fans and “celebrity analysts” said that Superman and Green Arrow were the favorites to win this week’s matches. Spoiler: They were right on the money.

Sinestro put up a terrific fight, but it’s really hard to compete with Superman. Still, Sinestro is high on my list of villains who could actually pose a threat to the Man of Steel.

As for the Green Arrow’s win, I don’t think we can really give it to him. One of DC’s more prominent villains really stole the win here.

Starting next week, we’ll finally be getting into the quarter finals where Batman will take on Wonder Woman. It should prove to be an incredibly entertaining fight.

DC Comics announced today that Hawkgirl and Sinestro will be joining the ranks of playable characters in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Neither character hardly needs an introduction, but here’s a nice rundown courtesy of the Injustice channel:

Sinestro will be taking on Sinestro in the first round, while Hawkgirl will be taking on Green Arrow. Both fights should be incredibly interesting. We’ll find out who wins and moves on to the next round on Friday.

Injustice: Gods Among Us will be out on April 16 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

As an added bonus, here’s Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes talking about this week’s match up:
