Injustice Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

The tagline of Injustice: Gods Among Us asks one very poignant question; "what if our greatest heroes became our greatest threat?" For the edification of the uninitiated, Injustice is a seventh generation fighting game developed by Netherrealm Studios, the same company who developed the notorious Mortal Kombat games, that pits the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and many more classic DC Comics heroes and villains against each other in one-on-one fights for the fate of the world in a reality where the Joker has tricked Superman into inadvertently killing a pregnant Lois Lane and leveling the entirety of Metropolis city.

Ace The Bat-hound

Ace is a character that many younger fans of the DC Universe might not be too familiar with due to the small role the character typically plays when he appears in other forms of media, if he appears at all; in both the Dark Knight trilogy and the DCEU, Ace was never even so much as mentioned by any of the characters on screen and he's typically relegated to being referenced as an Easter egg in many of the other games DC comics has produced. Though his role is, admittedly, still small in the Injustice franchise, Ace has at least appeared in the comics that are tied to Injustice's story.

Ace made his first appearance in the Injustice world in the 17th issue of the Injustice 2 comics; this version of Ace is depicted as a small puppy that Batman and Plastic Man found in an Arizonian town that the android Amazo had recently destroyed. Batman and Plastic man decided to take Ace with them when they found the small puppy sifting through the wreckage of the town by himself. After the two heroes had concluded their mission, Plastic man give Ace to Batman, but the latter had no intentions to keep the dog and tried to find the puppy a home with one of the many other heroes that the Caped Crusader knew.

Though Batman was unable to give Ace away to any of the other characters he knew, he was ultimately able to find a caretaker for Ace by way of giving him to Alfred. Unfortunately for everyone, this joyous occasion would be cut short when a woman by the name of Athanasia Al Ghul, Batman's daughter in the Injustice comics, would tragically shoot Ace right in front of Batman and Alfred in order to get back at the two of them due to a misplaced sense of abandonment. It is currently unknown if Ace will pull through or if the poor puppy will succumb to his wounds.

Superman's crime fighting canine companion has also appeared in the Injustice world, albeit in equally small roles as the aforementioned Ace's; Krypto the Super Dog appeared in issues number 3 of the Injustice: Year Three. In this issue, High Councilor Superman dreams about the world that could have been, had the Joker not tricked him into killing Lois Lane. While envisioning an idyllic scene at the Kent Farm, Superman dreams of playing with Krypto chasing a baseball that's been thrown at an incredibly high speed as he spends time with his family.

Injustice Inspired Dog Name Considerations

If you're a fan of DC Comics, you may appreciate the ways in which Netherrealm Studios turns many of the tropes associated with your favorite DC characters on their heads. In a world where Superman has killed the Joker with his bare hands and has created an Authoritarian Regime that polices the world with an iron first, there isn't a number of heroes or villains who've stayed the same. Fans of the Injustice games may have appreciated seeing a heroic version of Lex Luthor that uses the immense number of resources and capital at his disposal to do some good in the world. If so, consider naming your dog Lex or Luthor, after the heroic version of Lex seen in the first installment of the Injustice series.

Conversely, some fans of the Injustice series may have enjoyed the devilish liberties Netherrealm Studios took with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and even Shazam. Take the Injustice version of Superman for example, he's the polar opposite of the classic Big Blue Boy Scout we all know and love. Where as the Justice League's Superman is compassionate, patient, and kind, the Injustice version of the Action Ace is a cold, ruthless dictator who's hated almost everyone, even many of his own subordinates. But if you're a fan who appreciates the way Netherrealm wrote Regime Superman as a character, consider naming your dog Councilor.
