A resume listing is the latest Injustice 3 signal, not an announcement
The strongest new detail around the rumored DC fighter is specific: MP1st reports that a stunt worker’s resume directly referenced motion capture work for “Injustice 3” and named Supergirl and Batwoman as characters involved in those sessions. Eurogamer reports that the resume belonged to Mackensi Emory, a stunt worker who had previously worked with NetherRealm, and that the listing has since been updated to remove mentions of the game.
That combination makes this Injustice 3 leak worth paying attention to, but it also sets the boundary for what is actually known. Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have not announced Injustice 3. There is no official roster, release date, trailer, platform list, price, beta plan, or tournament rule set. IGN, Kotaku, Eurogamer, and MP1st all frame the game as unannounced despite growing evidence around it.
For players, the caution is important. A resume credit can point to real production work without telling us whether a character is playable at launch, used in a story sequence, captured for a cinematic, cut during development, or changed before reveal. MP1st describes the listing as action-related motion capture tied to the fighting roster, and other outlets have treated Supergirl and Batwoman as reported playable roster picks. Until NetherRealm says so, though, these remain reported Injustice 3 characters rather than confirmed select-screen slots.
Supergirl is the expected name because Injustice 2 left her in position
Supergirl is the safer half of the report. Eurogamer notes that her appearance would be expected because of her central role in Injustice 2’s narrative. MP1st adds the relevant story context: after seeing the reality of Superman’s regime, Kara turned away from her cousin and joined the reformed Justice League in the game’s canonical ending.
That makes Supergirl a clean roster expectation if Injustice 3 continues the prior storyline. NetherRealm fighting games tend to use returning faces as mechanical anchors, and for a sequel, a character like Supergirl gives players an obvious bridge from the last game’s cast to the next one. That does not mean her Injustice 2 game plan, frame data, trait behavior, strings, zoning profile, or matchup spread would return unchanged. A returning character name is the first layer. Competitive value lives in the actual move list, hurtboxes, resource rules, and how the game’s system mechanics treat her neutral and pressure.
Still, as a reported NetherRealm roster choice, Supergirl fits the cleanest version of the sequel theory. She was already established in the previous game, her moral position after Injustice 2 gives writers an easy route into a follow-up, and she carries enough Superman-family identity to matter in a DC fighter built around ideological conflict between heroes.
Batwoman is the roster curveball because the canon is messy
Batwoman is the more interesting name because her inclusion would create a story question before players even start talking matchups. Eurogamer, IGN, and MP1st all note that Batwoman would be new to the mainline Injustice games if this report proves accurate. MP1st also points out that the broader Injustice storyline already used her: Kate Kane appeared in the tie-in comics and died there, with MP1st and Kotaku identifying Superman as the cause of that fatal ending.
That matters because the Injustice comics are widely treated as canon to the games, and MP1st says the games acknowledge those comic arcs. If Batwoman is in Injustice 3, several possibilities open up, none of them confirmed. Another character could have taken up the Batwoman mantle. Kate Kane could return through a comic-book revival. The new game could retcon or ignore the comic events. Or Injustice 3 could move away from direct continuation and use a reset or alternate timeline.
IGN and MP1st both raise the reboot possibility, and it is easy to see why. NetherRealm’s other major fighting series has already used timeline shifts and soft reboot logic, with Mortal Kombat 1 arriving in 2023. But applying that expectation to Injustice 3 is still interpretation, not a published plan. The reported Supergirl Batwoman pairing pulls in two directions: one name reinforces sequel continuity, while the other pressures that continuity unless NetherRealm has a specific explanation ready.
For roster watchers, Batwoman would change the Bat-family read
In roster terms, Batwoman would be a meaningful pick even before her move set is known. ComicBook notes that Injustice has already featured several Batman-adjacent characters across the series, including Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. Adding Batwoman would not be another Superman or Batman headline slot, but it would keep Gotham central while giving NetherRealm a different identity to build around.
That is where the leak becomes useful for roster expectations. If true, NetherRealm may be leaning on recognizable DC families while still bringing in faces that have not been in the mainline Injustice games. Supergirl would represent a returning pillar from Injustice 2. Batwoman would represent a newcomer with direct canon complications. That mix is exactly the kind of roster construction fighting game players watch for: legacy comfort on one side, matchup novelty on the other.
The practical competitive question is whether Batwoman would occupy design space already associated with Batman-family characters or push into a different archetype. The leak does not answer that. There are no reported normals, specials, trait mechanics, weapons, mobility tools, or defensive options. Anyone claiming to know how she will play is ahead of the evidence. For now, her reported presence says more about NetherRealm’s character priorities than about the eventual tier list.
The evidence stack is growing, but every piece is still unofficial
This is not the first reported sign of Injustice 3. MP1st says it previously spotted an explicit mention of the title on an artist’s resume. Kotaku and Eurogamer also reference recent California playtests that were believed to be connected to Injustice 3, though those playtests have not been publicly tied to an announced NetherRealm product by Warner Bros. or the studio.
The new resume report adds another production-side detail. MP1st says the listing also confirmed the involvement of Jake Huang, described as an animator and stunt coordinator who moved onto the project after work on Mortal Kombat 1. Eurogamer likewise reports Huang’s involvement and notes his prior NetherRealm work on Mortal Kombat 1.
Taken together, these are stronger than ordinary forum chatter. They point to names, roles, and production activity. They still do not replace an announcement. A fighting game can be in development for a long time, and roster content can shift before marketing begins. The careful read is that the Injustice 3 leak ecosystem now has multiple reported resume and playtest signals, but the official state of the game remains unchanged: NetherRealm has not revealed it.
Release timing is speculation, and players should treat it that way
No source material confirms when Injustice 3 will launch. Eurogamer says there is no known release date and suggests a 2027 arrival could fit NetherRealm’s previous development pacing, given Mortal Kombat 1 released in 2023. IGN’s Wesley Yin-Poole goes further as a personal guess, suggesting a possible Game Awards reveal in December and a release around April 2027. Those are expectations and guesses, not publisher guidance.
The release history explains why people are trying to read the calendar. IGN lays out the recent sequence: Injustice: Gods Among Us launched in 2013, Injustice 2 followed in 2017, Mortal Kombat 11 arrived in 2019, and Mortal Kombat 1 launched in 2023. For a while, the studio looked like it might alternate between Mortal Kombat and Injustice, but Mortal Kombat 1 broke that simple pattern by following Mortal Kombat 11.
IGN also reports that NetherRealm development chief Ed Boon said in May that another Mortal Kombat game was in development, after Mortal Kombat 1 sold 8 million copies and Mortal Kombat 11 had reached 15 million copies as of 2022. That adds another reason to be careful with calendar assumptions. NetherRealm may have multiple projects in motion, and the existence of another Mortal Kombat project does not tell us the release window for a DC fighter.
The player read: watch the roster, but wait for systems
If you are a competitive player or a returning Injustice 2 main, the useful takeaway is narrow. The reported Injustice 3 leak points to Supergirl and Batwoman, which would give the roster one expected returning character and one surprising Gotham-linked newcomer. It does not tell us the engine behavior, input feel, wake-up rules, clash implementation, interactable design, gear approach, rollback details, platform support, or balance philosophy.
That is where Injustice 3 will live or die for serious players. Roster names drive reveal hype, but systems decide whether a character is tournament-stable, matchup-dependent, or a week-one trap. Supergirl returning would be notable because players remember her role in Injustice 2, but no one should assume old muscle memory will carry cleanly into a new game. Batwoman would be exciting because she opens a fresh design lane, but without mechanics, she is still a question mark.
For now, the best stance is patient interest. Track the reports, treat the resume details as credible signals rather than official confirmation, and wait for NetherRealm or Warner Bros. to show the game. Until then, Supergirl and Batwoman are the first serious names in the Injustice 3 characters conversation, not locked picks for your launch-day main.
