Injustice's story mode combines cutscenes, mini-games, and traditional fights to deliver a cinematic single
player experience unlike any other.

DC has put together a series of comics providing context and backstory to the events of Injustice: Gods
Among Us. For more information, and to purchase these comics, click here.
Injustice features single round, one-on-one fights running at a smooth 60 frames per second.
Depleting the silver health bar reveals a second red health bar underneath, at which point you can
activate the Clash feature (see below). Clash availability is indicated by a pulsing yellow bar beneath your
character's name.
Frame data for every move in the game is available through the pause menu.
It's also worth noting that special move inputs can be changed from Mortal Kombat style (down forward)
to Street Fighter style (quarter-circle forward). You may also tag up to six moves to be displayed under
your health bar in case you want to practice their inputs.
- Back - Block
- Down - Crouch
- Up - Jump
- Square/X - Light Attack
- Triangle/Y - Medium Attack
- Cross/A - Heavy Attack
- L1/LB - Throw
- L2/LT - Flip Stance
Circle/B
Each character has a unique trait that can be activated with a press of the Circle/B button. Superman gains
a brief power-up, Wonder Woman switches from her lasso to a sword and shield, The Flash momentarily
slows down the opponent, et cetera. Character powers replenish automatically.
R1/RB (when prompted)
Each arena contains a wealth of environmental objects that can be interacted with. Different characters
use these objects in different ways (see "Characters" section).
Back + Cross/A
Each stage consists of multiple levels. In order to access these different areas, you must trigger a wall
bounce attack near the appropriate edge of the arena. While most arenas have 2 different levels, Metropolis
has 3, and Ferris Aircraft and Atlantis only have 1.
R2/RT (during certain special moves; burns 1 bar of super meter)
Pressing R2/RT just after executing most special moves will result in an enhanced version. Superman's
Heat Vision typically hits once, for example, but burning meter extends the attack to two hits for some
extra damage.
R2/RT (during block stun; burns 1 bar of super meter)
Create space between you and your opponent by pushing R2/RT while blocking.
Ground bounce - Forward, Forward + R2/RT (during a combo; burns 2 bars of super meter)
Wall bounce - Back, Back + R2/RT (during a combo; burns 2 bars of super meter)
During a combo, you can burn two bars of super meter to cancel the combo and perform a ground bounce
or wall bounce to extend the combo.
L2 + R2/LT + RT (burns all 4 bars of super meter)
Press the back triggers simultaneously to unleash a powerful cinematic attack.
Forward + R2/RT (on receiving end of combo; red health only)
As both characters ready an attack, each player wagers a portion of his super meter in secret; the highest
bidder wins the Clash. If the combo initiator wins, he dishes out extra damage. If the defender wins, he
regains extra health. A Clash can only be activated once per fight by each player, and no damage is done
in the event of a tie.

Power characters interact with the environment in ways befitting their super strength; where a Gadget
character might use a parked car as a springboard, a Power character would instead pick it up and slam
it down on the opponent.
Gadget characters are much more tactical and agile than their Power counterparts, preferring to interact
with the environment using weapons or acrobatics rather than brute strength.
You can choose which area of the arena you would like to start the fight in, and you may also disable
interactive objects and level transitions.
