DC got a huge amount of mileage out of the original Injustice: Gods Among Us comic, which wound up running for years after the release of the game and spanning five volumes. Despite that success, it's hard to ignore the fact that the series lost some momentum when original writer Tom Taylor departed midway through Year Three. The Injustice comics have never been the same without Taylor. That's why Injustice 2 is so appealing. Taylor is back, and all feels right in this dark, alternate reality DCU.
As usual, the print issues of Injustice 2 collect two chapters of the digital-first series. This first issue begins bridging the gap between the events of the original game and the upcoming sequel. Though if the previous Injustice comic is any indication, expect that bridging to be a very long, intricate process. Taylor certainly seems in little hurry to get to the events of the game, as this issue picks up shortly after Superman's defeat. The immediate question is how the world can rebuild after year's of being ruled by a despotic superhuman regime, and what role Batman and his fellow heroes should play in that process. Right away, Taylor establishes a difficult road ahead for Batman. It was one thing to be the underdog hero with moral superiority. Now that Batman finds himself in a position of power, can he maintain that moral superiority, or will he go down the same, dark road Superman did?
