Injustice 3: 10 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include

3. Buffy Summers

Although DC has an amazing selection of supernatural characters - from Constantine to Etrigan, Deadman and of course Zatanna - but surprisingly few who dabble specifically with vampires. That's where Injustice's guest roster can come in, and who better to fill that role than Buffy Summers herself?

Buffy is one of the most beloved TV characters of all time and one who's gone on to experience great success in comics - first in the Dark Horse continuation of the TV show, and second in the Boom Studios revamp that rebooted the character as a teenager in 2019.

Compared to most other licensed properties, Buffy's actually had a relatively successful time when it comes to video games too. The 2002 video game and its follow up, Chaos Bleeds, were both met with positive reviews and illustrated how the character could easily translate to the gaming medium, given the right treatment.

Sure, a fighting game may not initially seem like it'll lend itself well to the character, but NetherRealm could make it work.

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.
