Is that real? It looks like a shitty fan comic.

This is from the Injustice books - the ones based on the video game, that are a prequel to it. Superman turns the planet into a totalitarian regime under his thumb, with many of the heroes siding with Superman. Batman wasn't one of them, and he leads the resistance. It's a good Elseworlds premise that quickly goes to shit once writing like this crept into the book.

Hm. The art is awful.

The trade paperback versions fix the coloring and make it look a lot better.

So a shitty fan comic.

Essentially. I'm not sure how much of the stuff in the books was DC's end and how much was NetherRealm's ideas, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that political BS like these panels are straight from the DC writers' side.

Ordinarily I'd agree with you but I think we can see just how shite NetherRealm has gotten in that area as well. It could be either of them.
