Report: Injustice 3 Mocap Resume Alleges Supergirl And A Surprising Batwoman

We’ve got another potential piece of the Injustice 3 puzzle — and if true, it pairs an expected face with a genuinely eyebrow-raising addition. According to Eurogamer, a stunt performer’s resume allegedly tied them to motion capture sessions for the rumoured fighting game, naming both Supergirl and Batwoman as characters they portrayed.

What Was Reported

Per Eurogamer, the resume for stunt worker Mackensi Emory included direct references to Injustice 3. Emory is said to have been part of motion capture sessions for the project, "specifically portraying the characters Supergirl and Batwoman." The resume has since been updated to remove all mention of the game, Eurogamer reports, making the listing no longer publicly visible.

Eurogamer also reports that Emory’s CV confirmed the involvement of animator and stunt coordinator Jake Huang, who previously worked with NetherRealm on Mortal Kombat 1. The new listing follows last week’s playtest leak, which made waves in the community and hinted at active development work elsewhere.

The Source & Credibility

We’re approaching this one with the usual caveats — take this with a pinch of salt. Eurogamer is relaying details from a public resume listing that was later edited, and MP1st is named as having originally highlighted the resume. The fact that the listing was removed is notable and fits common patterns around early-stage projects, but removal alone isn’t proof of a finished title.

  • Mackensi Emory: Named on a resume as having performed motion capture for Supergirl and Batwoman in Injustice 3, per Eurogamer.
  • Jake Huang: Listed as an animator and stunt coordinator on the same resume, with prior credit on Mortal Kombat 1, per Eurogamer.
  • Resume was updated to remove the Injustice 3 mention, per Eurogamer.

We’ve seen similar early crumbs before — leaks and playtests crop up often, including the playtest hint referenced by Eurogamer — and you can revisit that playtest coverage in our earlier report on PixelJunk Monsters. Broader leak culture has produced a number of traction points recently, from playtest drops to footage rumours such as EA Motive’s Iron Man, so caution is warranted when connecting dots.

What It Could Mean

If the Mocap credits are accurate, the roster for Injustice 3 may mix expected and unexpected choices. Supergirl is framed as an expected presence, given her centrality to prior entries, per Eurogamer. The inclusion of Batwoman, however, is flagged as a surprise — and not just because she hasn’t appeared in the games before.

Eurogamer notes that in the world of Injustice, Batwoman is dead according to the official comic books, which are considered canon in that continuity. The comics and the games frequently reference one another, Eurogamer adds, so Batwoman’s presence would raise continuity questions if the project follows established canon.

There are several ways this could be reconciled, per Eurogamer’s suggestions: perhaps a revival narrative is in play, or a different person has taken up the Batwoman mantle — a common comic-book device. Alternatively, the upcoming game may not continue the exact events of the prior two games and could act as a timeline reset featuring new versions of familiar DC characters. Take all of these possibilities as speculation until the studio speaks.

It’s also worth reiterating that Injustice 3 hasn’t been announced yet and there’s no known release date, per Eurogamer. Eurogamer notes their own expectation that, given NetherRealm’s previous pacing, a new Injustice entry could arrive in 2027, pointing to Mortal Kombat 1 as the studio’s most recent release.
