Every good superhero saga needs a dose of peril, but when the Justice League are reduced to a row of skulls and masks, you've really got to ask yourself -- 'What the hell has happened to the DC heroes?!'

Injustice Creative Director Ed Boon (@noobde) dropped the puzzling teaser [pictured above] via Twitter. If seeing is believing, then it appears as if Batman, Nightwing, Green Lantern, Raven & Flash will meet nasty ends in some fashion. Either that, or Batman'spenchant for gothic theatricality and trophys has gotten way out of hand!

We know Blackest Night pre-order downloadable content comes with a special Zombie Mode [read more], but the rate of decay pictured seems to have foregone decaying flesh in favour of a more boney motif.

So, is this a vision of things to come, or a whole other ball game entirely? A hoax? A dream? Your guess is as good as ours! Join the speculation on the DC Universe Injustice forum!
