Things are stirring up in the DC universe with the latest Injustice 2 trailer revealing some of the story behind the superhero fighting game coming in March.

After the world-changing events of the first Injustice game, Tuesday's trailer gives players some nuggets to look forward to, including the introduction of the supervillain Brainiac into the series. Brainiac is an android from another planet and has advanced mental capabilities that allow him to manipulate individuals and machines, and it looks like he'll be one of the the main antagonists in Injustice 2.

Injustice 2 is set to release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 16.
