‘Injustice 3’ is coming, what will DC do with him?

Almost 10 years ago, Netherrealm launched Injustice 2, The second game of your DC superhero fighting series. (And it is the third superhero fighting game, starting with 2008 Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and restarting the story of Mortal Kombat, It seems that Netherrealm returns to the superhero strokes, such as Green Lantern and Aquaman Voice Actor Phil Lamaar According to the reports, he told a fan in a recent convention that a third game is happening.

This will be a small surprise for anyone who pays attention to Netherrealm. The study ended its support for Mortal Kombat 1 Earlier this year, after two series of DLC combatants and an expansion of history and said it would turn in its next project. Before MK1 reveal, Injustice 3 It seemed sure since the study alternated between the two franchises, but Netherrealm probably had to do two consecutive Kombat Games since it was a potential sale by WB in 2020. It was never a matter of whether the developer would return to Injustice, But “when”; The second was very dear and had a healthy life cycle and ended in such a way that more games were inevitable.

What is less safe is what Injustice 3 will be in terms of tone. When the first two games were launched in 2013 and 2017, they arrived at a time when DC was well to position Superman as, if not a villain, then an apparent antagonist against Batman. This was more evident in Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (which was revealed in 2020), and it would not be until recently that DC and WB began to move away from that frame. The comics have made an active effort to position it as a hopeful hero and a family man, and while Joss Whedon’s version of the Justice League He made fun of a more friendly version for Superman’s audience, which never manifested, that came with the recent James Gunn Superman Film, which passes its execution time obtaining the perception of the hero and his public on the right path.

To the Netherrealm credit, it has an exit in that Injustice He is in his own universe where a totalitarian superman can continue trying to reaffirm his domain as many times as he likes while working with Batman and the other justice players, or at least, those who did not kill personally, while dealing with a major threat. As one of the most outstanding examples of the “evil superman” trend that has also led to the popularity of Homelander and Omni-Man, he would not be completely wrong for Injustice He continues to make Clark more evil, especially because he already took the trigger “Good Superman expires the Evil One” with the first game in 2013. But if the developer remains the course, can he drive to be an atypical at a time when an altruistic and heroic version of the character is so popular and beloved?

We will discover how Netherrealm approaches this dilemma and how the game launch list will be seen in the coming years.
