MORTAL KOMBAT Co-Creator Ed Boon Wants An INJUSTICE Movie; Shares JUSTICE LEAGUE Snyder Cut Support

During a recent series of Tweets, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon expressed a desire to see a movie adaptation of video game Injustice: Gods Among Us. Developed by his NetherRealm Studios, the game left a lasting impression on DC Comics fans for its dark and twisted take on the DC Universe, which saw Batman and Superman go to war with the fate of the Earth on the line.

That comes after The Joker sets off a nuclear bomb in Metropolis which kills Lois Lane and countless others. Out of his mind with grief and rage, the Man of Steel punches a hole through the Clown Prince of Crime's chest and establishes his rule over the planet. 

Hinting that he would like to see the Injustice video games adapted into a movie one day, he also reflected on visiting the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before sharing his support for the release of the Snyder Cut, Zack Snyder's fabled version of Justice League

Batman v Superman's Knightmare scene seemed to be heavily inspired by the Injustice video games, and Snyder's planned Justice League: Part 2 was going to take place in a world where Superman had fallen under the spell of Darkseid and the Anti-Life Equation.

If they want to make an Injustice animated movie that’s cool. I’d watch.

But I’m much more interested in live action Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), The Flash, Martian Manhunter, and New Gods movies and a real Justice League movie before we get any kind of reimaginings.

@TheUnworthyThor - Doubt Martian Manhunter will get a movie, never really had a long running comic, and he kind of fits the Nick Fury role

@dracula - I very much doubt they will make a Martian Manhunter solo movie but they absolutely should make one. You don’t need to have a long running comic to make a really great movie. You need a great character and one great story and Martian Manhunter has those.

I really wanted to see where that knight made stuff went. Personally I liked that the Snyder versions of these characters weren’t quite their fully formed selves and we were going to see them become that over time. There were things I didn’t like (Batman using guns from the safety of the bat mobile or batwing, Lex I’m pretty much every scene except the photograph one on LexCorp tower, Doomsday’s design and use of Death of Superman so early) but I ultimately either did like a lot of it or was at least curious to see where it would go. After Justice League I largely just couldn’t care less which to me is worse. Aquaman I liked largely, Shazam was very nothing to me largely because I didn’t feel Shazam and Billy ever gelled as one person, the Birds of Prey just looked so unappealing to me I haven’t watched it although I will eventually when it hits some service I already have, and WW84 looks uninteresting to me on every level. At this point I think the biggest problem with DC isn’t even what it gets wrong it’s how much it pivots when it’s called out on it and now we end up here where there’s no vision and really no point

@Ha1frican - I gotta agree on most of what you said. Perfect it was not, but it still had something that the final JL film was lacking. I personally would have preferred a Snyder version over a Wheaton version any day of the week. Even if just for continuity of vision and cohesiveness .. the JL we got was a total train wreck, a complete and utter disaster compared to what JL should have and could have been.. maybe Snyder’s version would have bombed hard.. maybe not, we’ll never know now.. idk why they wouldn’t release it in HBOMAX.. win win win.. fans are happy.. they potentially get a few sign ups.. it’s low hanging fruit after all.. and Snyder and the whole movement goes away..

@LordWaldo - Batman was late in his career yes and he had lost his way a bit was redeemable and could come back which is in keeping with the Dark Knight Returns version which yes is gritty and extreme but also does reclaim who is is on some level. I completely disagree about Superman by the end of the movie he had found who he was and his sacrifice made the world realize he really was the hero many were afraid he wasn’t. His biggest issue was how the world perceived him and how that affected him, once the world came around he was free to become the Superman he was supposed to be

Snyder’s time at dc was an injustice so you kinda got what you wanted already. I’d say
