An animated series of films that combines DC's Injustice storyline with Marvel's Civil War storyline. After losing Lois, their unborn child, and all of Metropolis to the Joker, Superman finally rids the world of the Clown Prince of Crime for good, but loses his moral compass in the process and decides to eliminate all villains in the universe. Soon enough, the heroes and villains of Marvel and DC begin taking sides as there are those who side with Superman's choice to eliminate the villains while others who side with Batman, believing it's not their roles to be executioners. At the same time, the governments of the world are forcing the heroes to act under official regulation, somewhat akin to law enforcement after the incident involving the Joker. As Superman's side grows more and more authoritarian, it's up to Batman's side to put a stop them as well as the governments' acts to restrain the heroes on both sides. What results is an all-out war between the two factions, prompting those involved to ask the question: Whose Side Are You On?
