Injustice 3 Leak Points to Two DC Heroes and a Possible Franchise Soft Reset
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A new leak suggests Injustice 3 will feature Supergirl and Batwoman on its roster, while pointing toward a potential story reboot for NetherRealm's long-awaited fighting game sequel.
NetherRealm Studios might finally be returning to its DC fighting game franchise, according to a fresh report from MP1st. Evidence unearthed by the outlet suggests that Injustice 2 veteran Supergirl will return for the next installment alongside Batwoman, who would be making her playable debut in the mainline series. Since Batwoman met her end in the canonical Injustice comics, her inclusion opens up plenty of questions regarding the game's plot, ranging from mantle successors and comic retcons to a full narrative reboot for the franchise.
A complete story reset would make a lot of sense for NetherRealm at this stage. It has been nearly a decade since Injustice 2 launched in 2017, and the developer has since focused heavily on the Mortal Kombat universe, including 2023's Mortal Kombat 1. NetherRealm development chief Ed Boon recently confirmed that another Mortal Kombat project is already in the works alongside ongoing Injustice rumors, proving the studio has a packed pipeline ahead of it.
Publisher Warner Bros. has kept official details quiet, but broader corporate shifts and upcoming industry showcases suggest an announcement could be on the horizon. With major titles like Hogwarts Legacy 2 and a new Rocksteady Batman game also floating around the publisher's roadmap, fans are keeping a close eye on late-year events like The Game Awards for a potential reveal. If the timeline holds, players might finally step back into the multiverse around 2027.
