Superbattles are brewing online between iconic DC heroes and villains

Remember the good old days when you and your pals debated whose pops was the toughest hombre on the block?

“My dad could beat up your dad.”

That was then.

Now, let’s ponder something a little cooler. Like, maybe, who would win in a battle between Bane and Batman?

Or how about Wonder Woman taking on Harley Quinn?

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment are now allowing comic and video game fans to voice an opinion about who would win some epic battles as part of the lead up to the April release of the new superhero fight game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

For a total of 10 weeks, characters from the DC Comics universe will go head-to-head and you can vote on who you believe will win the bout.

Check out the first match-up video here:

While the first week pitted the Dark Knight against Bane, Week 2’s royal rumble features Wonder Woman against the Joker’s twisted femme fatale, Harley.

Each Monday, the week’s combatants will be revealed in videos that detail the skills, attributes and tech available to each fighter. You can also check out some of the celebrity experts weighing in on the matchup.

All votes and submissions have to be submitted by Thursday night and the results will be announced in a final fight video, showing the all-out battles and ultimate victor.

You can voice your opinion via Facebook and Twitter and enter to win prizes, such as avatar items and skins, by voting at https://injustice.dccomics.com.

Injustice: Gods Among Us is slated to hit store shelves on April 16 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U. The game still hasn’t been rated.
