Injustice 3 Should Stop Making Superman A Villain And Give Us A Hero

Most fans are tired of the “bad” or “evil” Superman story. NetherRealm, please give us a good Superman in the upcoming Injustice 3!

NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice universe has been a fascinating cross-media synergy experiment – easily one of the most ambitious in recent video game history. Not only does it include characters from NetherRealm’s ownMortal Kombat series as well as DC Comics superheroes like Batman and Green Lantern, but it also takes place in a twisted universe where the moralities of some fan-favourite characters are warped beyond recognition.

This leads us to the star of the show: Superman. The Man of Steel is integral to the plot of the whole series, and his turn to the dark side might be what made the series so popular in the first place. However, as we reach the series’ third entry, some fans are arguing that Injustice 3 should reintroduce the good Superman to its alternate universe.

From a narrative point of view, this makes sense. While the novelty of evil Superman will probably never wear off, if Injustice 3 has a good Superman, it would mean a step forward for the mythos of the alternate universe of the series. After all, even the Injustice evil Superman has shown some of Supes’ trademark heroism from time to time, even if it’s in his own twisted way.

We also have to keep in mind that the ending of Injustice 2 could vary wildly depending on which side wins. For all intents and purposes, it would seem safe to say that Injustice 3 would go with the Absolute Justice ending, where Batman sends evil Supes to the Phantom Zone.

This would mean a clean slate for Injustice 3’s good Superman theory, as this version of the Man of Steel would have been stripped of his powers and sent to an interdimensional prison. If that isn’t enough to mend his ways, perhaps nothing will be. One thing is for sure: even the Injustice Universe version of Superman isn’t entirely evil, even if he’s nowhere near as good as the paragon of justice we’re used to seeing in the DC
