I thought this was the only version of Superman who is evil. After the first and second games, I don’t know how would it even continue. What do any of you think?

"Oh what would Superman do if Lois was killed by the Joker". Read Kingdom Come.
People have reasons why they hate a specific game like MK vs DC or Injustice. I do have likes and dislikes about many games.
Good:
Gameplay
Black Adam
Comic (I loved the art and enjoyed the interactions with the Olympians)
Bad:
Roster
Story
Characterization
Superman with Wonder Woman (I always hated that "ship")
See my good and bad would literally be the exact opposite of that
For the bad: it's not original, it's not faithful to the characters, and it has incredibly bad writing and inconsistencies.
The idea of Joker bombing Metropolis and killing Jimmy, Lois etc. has been already done about 26 years before. Superman #9 (1987) has literally the same plot of Injustice, with the difference being that Joker was stopped.
But even if he didn't get stopped we see another injustice scenario in Superman Annual #3 (1991), Intergang nuked Metropolis killing everyone including Lois, obviously, Superman become a tad more aggressive, but no psychopath child-killer.
And then we got Kingdom Come, one of the best DC comic books ever, in this story Joker kills everyone at the Daily Planet, despite this, Superman "defended" Joker after Magog killed him, again, no psychopath child-killer.
This comic is a victim of what i call "Batmanization", in short, since around the 2000s/90s, Batman become DC best selling hero by far, and as such, they find ways to make him stand out from everyone, this translated in every super hero getting shit on by him, this transformed Batman in a cheap iron man knockoff (imo)
For the good: It made DC a lot of money?
Don't even think he was like Iron Man beyond the power armor he usually has to don to fight Superman. Where Tony's point is to be a character of redemption from where he started, this type of Batman incarnation never changes and is usually the "right" person by the end of the story.
Yeah, I guess people feel compelled to support Batman because he's invariably the underdog in a fight against a superpowered opponent.
In a fight between David and Goliath, nobody roots for Goliath.
^I do. I always root for the stronger, typically evil character to win.
Well, you're in the minority. I just watched the story mode of Tekken 8 and, trust me, you do not want Kazuya to win.
Batman has not been the "underdog" for years now, you can put him against gods and the "writers" will always find a way to make him win.
What do you think?
