Original story follows…
Writer Tom Taylor just hinted at a new project he has in the works at DC, and while the tease is sparse, it appears as though it may be a comic book return to the alternative DC reality based on the Injustice video game franchise.
The capital “I” appears to match the font from the original Injustice: Gods Among Us logo, which along with Batman’s quote could also be a clue to the nature of the storyline.
Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2 were two digital-first comic book series Taylor created based on the two popular and critically-acclaimed Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment video games developed by NeatherRealm Studios.
The Injustice world is based on an alternate DC reality in which the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn child, turning the Man of Steel into an Earth-ruling tyrant, and Batman’s efforts to end his totalitarian regime.
Announced perhaps not coincidently during the 2016 Comic-Con International: San Diego, that series lasted from April 2017 to October 2018 for a total of 72 digital issues and 36 print editions, this time all written by Taylor.
A new digital-first comic book series would also dovetail into DC’s plans to “robustly” expand that segment of their publishing line.
As the Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2 comic books both served as prequels to the video games, if Taylor’s hint turns out to be Injustice-related, a close eye will have to be kept on the gaming world as well.
DC has not responded to Newsarama’s inquires regarding Taylor’s tweets.
