Originally revealed early this summer, Injustice: Gods Among Us -- the DC Comics fighting game -- will be released in April 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo's forthcoming Wii U console. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the news late this week, clarifying the vague 2013 release window into something that's fairly early into the new year.

Injustice: God Among Us hails from NetherRealm Games, the Chicago-based studio behind last year's celebrated reboot of Mortal Kombat. While Injustice will be notably less violent than Mortal Kombat, it looks to utilize a similar fighting approach, albeit with fighters like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman trading blows.

We'll surely hear more about the character roster and more once the holiday release schedule eases up a bit, at which point we can start expending more focus on the games of next spring.
