Resurgence of Injustice 3 Amidst Warner Bros. Challenges Sparks Anticipation
In May of last year, a leak indicated that NetherRealm Studios, known for the Mortal Kombat series, was in discussions with Warner Bros. regarding the development of Injustice 3. This violent fighting game is set in an alternate DC universe where Superman rules as a tyrant, opposed by a desperate resistance led by Batman. Amidst recent challenges faced by Warner Bros. Games—including Mortal Kombat 1’s performance, the underperformance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and the cancellation of Multiversus and Wonder Woman—the prospect of Injustice 3 is creating excitement among DC Comics fans and fighting game enthusiasts.
Injustice 3 Development Indications Swirl amidst Silence from NetherRealm, Warner Bros.
While Injustice 3 has yet to receive an official announcement, hints from voice actors Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern) and George Newbern (Superman), both prominent figures in the DC universe, suggest the game is actively in development and they may reprise their roles. These insights have emerged from recent fan interactions, with similar accounts shared on X.com. Brendan Borrow reported a conversation with George Newbern, who hinted at his involvement in Injustice 3. Separately, X.com user Dannysoul0 recounted an interaction from 2017 where Phil LaMarr, while signing an Injustice 2 steelbook, reportedly whispered, “You know they’re making another one, they’re working on Injustice 3.” These fan testimonies, while compelling, lack video evidence. These accounts provide strong indications of the game’s development among fans. However, an official confirmation from NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. has not yet been issued.
