The game was available to play during the Steam Free Weekend,

Kicking Superman's butt (in the tutorial).

Gameplay Log:
Tutorial. Play as Batman and learn the basics.
Story Mode. The gameplay is interspersed with a story, the player must play specific characters at certain points in the story. The first character is Batman.
Getting used to the game, I tried to remember what I had learned from the tutorial.
The second character is The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). I was ready to look up the move list. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to press start! [The default "start" button is "4" when using the keyboard.]

Don't let Luthor get to you!

The third character is Aquaman, and the fourth character is The Joker.
While The Joker was fun, I needed to take a break. At that point, I decided to check out how many chapters there were. I learned the order of characters: Batman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Joker, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Deathstroke, Batman, Lex Luthor, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman.

Unfortunately I didn't get around to playing any more of Injustice: Gods Among Us, but I for the most part I enjoyed the game. In particular, I thought the stage interactions were pretty cool (I don't know how standard this is in fighting games, but its a nice game feature). Perhaps, however, the best part of the game was the cutscenes.

Today I played Injustice: Gods Among Us to help break even on my purchase of the Humble WB Games Classics Bundle.

The Joker versus Batman

Gameplay Log:
I replayed the Tutorial. (~25 minutes)
At one point in the tutorial I had trouble with X, X, 6, 6 + RT. Apparently the trick was to press RT at the same time as the second 6. I initially was doing X, X, 6, 6, RT.
I picked up from where I left off with story mode: "Chapter Four: The Joker - Pick a Card" (Joker versus Nightwing).
Completed the last battle in Story Mode about 2.5 hours after resuming it.
About another twenty minutes for story, credits, and exploring the game menu
