A stunt performer’s updated online resume has seemingly confirmed the development of NetherRealm Studios’ long-rumored fighting game, Injustice 3, while revealing two playable characters on the roster. Spotted by MP1st, the work listing specifically named the unannounced sequel alongside motion capture credit for Batwoman and Supergirl.
Supergirl’s inclusion comes as little surprise given her central role in Injustice 2, where she served as a key moral anchor between the warring factions of Batman and Superman. Batwoman, on the other hand, represents a novel addition to the main console entries. While Kate Kane appeared as a playable character in the mobile adaptation of the second game, her narrative presence in the primary console timeline has been nonexistent following her off-screen death in the prequel comic series.
Her prospective appearance raises intriguing narrative questions regarding how NetherRealm plans to handle the upcoming storyline. The studio could potentially lean into a multiverse structure—a narrative device heavily utilized in recent Mortal Kombat titles—to reintegrate deceased characters into the central campaign. Alternatively, the developer may simply feature Batwoman as a standalone roster selection for competitive modes without resurrecting her character in the core campaign, or pass the mantle to a different individual entirely.
NetherRealm Studios has spent recent years maintaining its flagship Mortal Kombat franchise with post-launch support for Mortal Kombat 1, leaving fans eager for news on the DC Comics front. With game reveals historically tied to end-of-year industry events, an official announcement may arrive in the near future to clarify how the narrative will bridge the divergent endings left by its predecessor.
