On the off chance you haven't heard about it during the months of promotion, DC's next foray into video games is Injustice: Gods Among Us, something that people allegedly care about. Personally, as someone who grew up in the '90s as a die-hard Street Fighter partisan, a DC game from the makers of Mortal Kombat isn't really something that interests me...

Despite strong sales that kept it in the top ten for its entire run, the series was almost universally panned, with readers going so far as to declare it one of, if not the, most mind-bendingly terrib
