7. Usagi Yojimbo

Injustice 2 had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - and they were great! - but there's another anthropomorphic, blade-wielding comic book character who should appear in the threequel.
Usagi Yojimbo, a samurai rabbit from the mind of Stan Sakai, is just that very character. Yojimbo is even fairly synonymous with the Turtles too, having crossed over into their adventures at various points over the years, while his skill-set and icon-status more than justify a place in Injustice 3's inevitable post-release content drop.
One factor that could potentially benefit Yojimbo's chances of popping up in Injustice 3 is the fact the character is currently on the cusp of starring in a brand new animated series, courtesy of Gaumont. Nailing on a cameo in Injustice would be a great way to promote the series, and well, who wouldn't want Usagi to get the Triple-A treatment?
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.
