Injustice 3: 10 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
8. Judge Dredd
DC Comics/2000AD
Judge Dredd is a staple of the British comics scene, dating all the way back to when he made his debut in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. Although the character's satirical nature has never really translated all that well to live action, he's featured in some of the most compelling comics of the 20th century, and has even made the occasional foray into the gaming medium too.
Rebellion Developments currently hold the license to the character, but have as of yet only released one fully fledged game based on the Dredd license. Clearly the character deserves another shot at a game, and it's why Rebellion should try and get Dredd to appear in NetherRealm's next title.
Were the character to crossover into Injustice 3, it wouldn't be without precedent either. Dredd has featured in a number of comic book crossovers throughout the years, with his most famous actually bringing the Judge together with the Dark Knight in 1991.
Given Dredd's iconic design, skill-set and notoriety, he should be a no-brainer to feature in the next Injustice - especially if players can re-enact Alan Grant, John Wagner and Simon Bisley's comic.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
