A new Injustice 3 leak points to Batwoman and Supergirl joining NetherRealm’s next DC fighting game, based on a stunt performer’s résumé rather than any official reveal. WB Games and NetherRealm still haven’t announced Injustice 3, so treat every detail below as an educated rumor, not a confirmed roster, until the studio says otherwise.
What the Injustice 3 Leak Actually Says
The trail starts with a résumé belonging to Jake Huang, a stunt coordinator and motion-capture performer who just wrapped four years of work on Mortal Kombat 1 at NetherRealm Studios. MP1st was first to report that the same listing named his next project as Injustice 3, and credited him with two specific character credits: Batwoman and Supergirl. The report, published September 21, 2026, also notes this isn’t the first time an Injustice 3 credit has turned up on a NetherRealm collaborator’s résumé — a similar mention surfaced a few months earlier without drawing much attention.
The next day, EventHubs corroborated the find and added that mocap sessions tied to the project were reportedly already underway as of September 13, 2026. Neither WB Games nor NetherRealm Studios has commented on any of it.
Why Batwoman Is the Bigger Surprise
Supergirl returning is the easy part to believe. She was a major figure in Injustice 2’s story — arriving partway through the campaign to challenge Superman’s regime — and she’s been a playable character since that game’s original 2017 roster, so bringing her back is a low-risk pick.
Batwoman is the one worth paying attention to. Despite Injustice’s roster already covering multiple members of the Bat-family — Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl have all been playable across the series — Kate Kane has never had a slot of her own. If the leak holds up, Injustice 3 would be her first appearance as a fighter in the mainline console games, not just a cameo in the franchise’s mobile spin-off.
There’s an obvious commercial case for a third game, too: series co-creator Ed Boon confirmed in August 2026 that Injustice 2 has sold more than 9 million copies worldwide, a number that makes WB Games sitting on the franchise for nearly a decade look more like patience than neglect.
Is This Confirmed? What We Actually Know vs. What’s Still a Guess
| Detail | Status |
|---|---|
| Batwoman and Supergirl named on a NetherRealm collaborator’s résumé | Reported by MP1st, corroborated by EventHubs |
| Injustice 3 exists as an official NetherRealm project | Not confirmed — no statement from WB Games or NetherRealm |
| Full roster beyond these two names | Unknown |
| Release date or platforms | Unknown |
| Story premise or setting | Unknown |
That gap matters. A résumé credit is strong circumstantial evidence that a project is in production, but it isn’t a trailer, a press release, or even an on-record statement from anyone at the studio. Until one of those shows up, this stays in rumor territory.
When Might NetherRealm Actually Announce It?
There’s no confirmed reveal date. DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have talked publicly about wanting more collaboration with NetherRealm on future games, but that’s strategic talk about the relationship, not a confirmation tied to this specific project. Outlets covering the leak have floated two plausible reveal windows — The Game Awards in December, or New York Comic-Con from October 8–11 — but both are speculation about timing, not reporting on an actual announcement plan.
