The show occasionally featured various prerecorded segments, one of these recurring segments was Clueless Gamer, a segment where Conan would try out new video game releases while having little skill or interest in gaming. On the June 12, 2013 edition of the segment, the featured game was Injustice: Gods Among Us with the game being modified specially for the show to include one of its recurring gags, the Flaming C, as a skin for Superman.^[1] The Flaming C was a superhero created by Conan and co-creator of Batman: The Animated Series, Bruce Timm, based on Conan's likeness and jokingly referred to as DC's next superhero. While most Flaming C media can be readily enjoyed in full the Injustice build featuring the character has never been publicly available.

When asked if NetherRealm Studios (Injustice's development studio) would still have a copy of the build on Twitter, the head of the studio, Ed Boon stated "Almost forgot about that! I’m sure it exists somewhere."^[2] Despite this, neither NetherRealm Studios nor Team Coco seem to have any interest in releasing this build of the game.
