NetherRealm Studios is working on Injustice 3, and this time the evidence is a stuntworker’s resume. The studio behind the Mortal Kombat series has been linked to the sequel for months, but a new job listing from someone connected to the company now puts two confirmed characters on the table: Supergirl and Batwoman.
The leak comes from MP1st, which reported on September 21 that it had seen a stunt performer’s resume that included a direct reference to motion capture sessions for a game simply named “Injustice 3.” The stunt performer has worked with NetherRealm on past projects, so it’s not surprising they would also be involved in motion capture for the sequel, a game that has not yet been officially confirmed or announced by WB or NetherRealm Studios.
The Stuntworker’s Resume
The stunt performer’s resume includes two character names: Supergirl and Batwoman. Supergirl makes perfect sense. She was a major player in Injustice 2, the 2017 game that somehow feels nearly a decade old in 2026. Her return for the sequel is hardly a shock.
Batwoman is the more intriguing name. As MP1st notes, Batwoman died in the Injustice comics, which are considered canon to the games. The games even directly reference the comics.
Comics Are Not Dead
The Injustice series is built on the idea that DC’s characters exist in a separate universe from the mainstream comics, and that universe has a long history of bringing characters back from the dead. It’s also possible that another character will take up the mantle of Batwoman. Or maybe there’s some weird time-travel stuff happening in Injustice 3. NetherRealm’s last game was Mortal Kombat 1, a soft reboot of the entire MK universe.
The Leak’s Limits
The resume leak is not proof that Injustice 3 exists. It’s evidence that someone at NetherRealm is doing motion capture for a game called “Injustice 3,” and that two characters are attached to it. It’s not an announcement, and it’s not a confirmation. It’s a resume, and resumes are full of incomplete sentences.
The pattern is hard to ignore, though. The stuntworker’s resume joins an artist’s resume and a playtest in California to form a loose chain of evidence. Each piece is small on its own, but together they suggest that the game is real.
What We Know For Sure
The key facts are simple. A stunt performer’s resume lists two characters, Supergirl and Batwoman, and mentions motion capture sessions for a game called “Injustice 3.” That’s all we have.
- A stunt performer’s resume mentions motion capture sessions for “Injustice 3”
- Two confirmed characters: Supergirl and Batwoman
- The resume’s owner has worked with NetherRealm on past projects
- The game has not been officially confirmed or announced by WB or NetherRealm Studios
- Last week, a video game playtest in California was believed to be connected to Injustice 3
- Earlier this year, an artist’s resume was spotted with the game’s name
The Leak’s Timeline
The leaks have come in a particular order. The artist’s resume was first, followed by the playtest, then the stuntworker’s resume. Here’s how the timeline breaks down:
- Earlier this year, an artist’s resume was spotted with the game’s name.
- Last week, a video game playtest in California was believed to be connected to Injustice 3.
- September 21: MP1st reported the stunt performer’s resume with the game’s name and character details.
Each leak has added a piece to the picture, but none of them have delivered a full announcement. The studio has remained silent, which is not unusual for a game this size. Companies often leak information through third parties to test the water before making an official statement.
What It All Means
The leak suggests that Injustice 3 is in active development. It also suggests that the game is using characters from the Injustice comics, including a Batwoman who was previously killed off. That’s a bold move for a sequel, and it shows that NetherRealm is willing to lean into the comics’ continuity rather than rebooting the universe.
The leak also shows how small pieces of information can add up to something meaningful. A stunt performer’s resume is not a press release, but it’s a data point. When you collect enough data points, you start to see a pattern.
The leak is a sign that the game is real and that it’s happening. The wait has been long, but the wait is almost over.
Injustice 3 is in development, and that’s the most important fact here. The rest is speculation. The characters are confirmed, and the motion capture sessions are real, but the game itself has not been announced yet.
The games are comics, and comics are not dead. That’s the lesson here. The Injustice universe has a long history of bringing characters back from the dead, and the comics are the source material for the games. If Batwoman is back, it’s because the comics said she could be.
