Why Are Heroes And Villains Fighting In Injustice?

If it's not "The Rage," then it must be something else, right? This Injustice trailer shows off a bit of the setup for the fighting game's story mode.

They've started putting out a weekly mini-comic that explains the story leading up to the game. It's actually not bad. You should really read it to get the full impact of the story, but if you just want the details:

Issue #3 came out yesterday. So far, Lois Lane has become pregnant with Superman's son. Joker kills Jimmy Olsen and kidnaps Lois. Joker links Lois' heartbeat with a nuclear detonator and hides the nuke in Metropolis. Not knowing this, Superman attempts to save Lois, but Joker uses Scarecrow's fear toxin to trick Superman into killing Lois and the baby (he grabs what he thinks is Doomsday and carries it into space to get it away from Lois, not realizing he's carrying Lois herself). When Lois dies, the nuke goes off, obliterating Metropolis.

Attention all comic book people: is there any precedent for the name "Injustice" in DC comics? I physically cannot understand why there's not identifying moniker or subtitle that clearly states this has the Supermans and the Batmans in it. I can't see Joe WalMart knowing that Injustice has superheroes in it.

Looks pretty interesting, but wonder if it'd work better as a comic story arc rather than a fighting game story.
