DC’s brawling multiverse may be gearing up for another round. Multiple fan encounters with longtime series voice actors strongly suggest that NetherRealm Studios has started work on Injustice 3.
George Newbern, the definitive voice of Superman for many fans, reportedly told an attendee at FanExpo Toronto on August 23, 2025, that he’s currently working on Injustice 3. Days later, on August 29, 2025, Phil LaMarr, who voices Green Lantern in the games and across DC animation, was said to have told a fan getting Injustice 2 signed, “You know they’re making another one, they’re doing Injustice 3.”
LaMarr’s comment came amid a brief conversation reflecting on the late Kevin Conroy’s legacy as Batman, a role he carried into Injustice 2. With Conroy’s passing, speculation has pointed to Hamish Linklater—fresh off voicing Batman in the recent Amazon Prime series Batman: Caped Crusader—as a potential successor in Injustice 3.
While these anecdotes don’t come with video receipts, they line up with NetherRealm’s long-running release cadence. The studio has historically alternated between Mortal Kombat and Injustice:
– Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) to Injustice: Gods Among Us (2013)
– Mortal Kombat X (2015) to Injustice 2 (2017)
– Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) to Mortal Kombat 1 (2023)
NetherRealm has already confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 is not getting major new content updates, a move that often signals the studio has shifted to its next project. Adding fuel to the fire, DC Studios head James Gunn recently teased being excited about one specific DC Games project from NetherRealm that remains in early development.
What this could mean for Injustice 3
– Returning icons: With Newbern and LaMarr hinting at involvement, expect Superman and Green Lantern to be back in the spotlight.
– The Batman question: If Hamish Linklater steps in, fans could hear a fresh take on the Dark Knight that remains faithful to Conroy’s towering legacy.
– A familiar formula, refined: NetherRealm has consistently pushed cinematic story modes, robust online features, and fan-favorite gear systems. Expect an evolution rather than a revolution—unless the studio decides to surprise everyone.
When could Injustice 3 release?
If the project is in early stages now, a reveal could precede launch by a year or more. Based on previous cycles, a late 2026 to 2027 window feels plausible, but that’s speculation until NetherRealm or DC makes it official.
Bottom line
Two beloved voice actors independently hinting at Injustice 3, a studio cadence that fits perfectly, and a high-profile tease from DC’s leadership all point in the same direction. Until an official announcement lands, treat it as a very promising rumor—but one that’s getting harder to ignore for fans of DC’s most explosive fighting series.
