Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

MK vs. DC Story Trailer

So, I guess this kind of explains why these two franchises are in the same game, and I suppose it reveals how Superman can be hurt. But come on, magic? That was the best they could come up with? I don't read DC but I'm sure there at least half a dozen (if not more) mystic-based villains that would jump at the chance to murder Superman if all it took was magic to hurt him. Infuse some Kryptonite with magic and you're double-deadly! Unless this turns out to be extremely fun, I can't see myself playing it. Anyway, here is their setup for how and why this game exists:

Wow, I have been talking about the next MK game for years and everytime they release something the sadder I get. WOW BAD! Superman saying "Magic!?"...I cringed pretty badly.

Plus, the stupid ass up close random kombat button pressing and freefall mode where you again random combo buttons...pretty sad about this.

I was going to pass on Gears and buy this, I think I'm changing my mind.

Im still going to play it..alot. I mean everyone knows MK would own DC anyday...I think The Joker and The Dark Knight movie is what gave them the idea for this. I would rather see a new Marvel Vs DC or atleast Marvel Vs MK.

I find it rather pathetic that the journalist questions that Superman can be hurt by magic. He's been killed before, and magic has always been a major weakness of his. The reason magical villains haven't permanently killed him is because he's a major hero, not a sideline character.

the dude at the end is deathstroke, the teen titans' major villain, and there's been debate for years over who's the rip-off of who, tho personally i couldnt give a f**k cos deadpool rocks anyway

#11...a VERY good observation. That guy is called Deathstroke. Sadly, that's all my comic book knowledge can recall :/

"Come on! We'll kill things! Blow things up! Oh, it'll be fun!"

Joker in any way/shape/form is a blast.

@10 You are absolutely right, one of Superman's weaknesses was always Magic. I can definitely see a person from MK kicking his ass.

I concur with comment 10 as well....if you don't even read the comics, why the hell would you post your opinions when you don't know what you're talking about in the news post?

Magic is a real weakness for Superman, not an excuse for how he can be hurt by MK characters. Pretty much every MK character uses magic in some way or another.

It will be a massive joke. MK has been on the decline since the Genesis, not to mention is going to go bankrupt soon. Finally. They need to move onto something aside from Mortal Kombat.

Man, want to play it even more now, I mean, after seeing gameplay footage of it and the Joker's fatality, I want to play it, and now seeing more fatalities/brutalities as well as this makes me want to play it even more now.

And just for clarification people, Deathstroke came out quite a good long time before Deadpool. Like an 11 year difference between their comic debuts.

This game looks cool as hell but the only thing stopping me is the fact that it has a teen rating. MK invented the Mature rating. Why mess with something when it's not broken.

i know...that DC was directly involved with the development of this game, but when they wake up from whatever deep coma they fell into and see what kinda mess this is going to be, there's gonna be round the world cockslaps in that office. but the knob-end will have an embossed DC logo on it. suckers. i can play Ultimate MK3 if i want to waste time with bad fighting mechanics.

oh no! bullets! my only weakness! oh wait and fanboy backlash. "feel that sting boy? that's pride fuckin' with ya!"

This actually seems like a cool game I just wish there were more characters. Does anyone know if there is a Kreat-a-Kombatant feature?

I don't think that it is too bad ... the concept has been used before, but I doubt that it will hold a candle to anything.

Not much for fighting games so this will be a rent!

I thought there was a rumor that they had to remove Joker's fatality we all love (BANG! Oh wait, wrong gun, hoo hoo hoo, BANG! HAHAHA!) to get it into a teen rating.

Maybe it is just a rumor, cause a point-blank headshot is a bit too graphic for a Teen rating, at least as far as the ratings go. Maybe it will be snuck in and we'll see a story about that.

This game was looking really cool before hearing those pathetic voice-overs and even more pathetic "back story" they're trying to feed us. I'll probably still rent it.

Marvel vs. DC or Street Fighter vs. MK but this game is looking to be really lame. they couldn't have done a better job with the hair?? just look at wonder woman. thats a lot of frickin hair spray!

AND WHERES LOBO?!

hey our universes are colliding...lets have a fighting tournament, that'll solve everything.

@37 makes a very good point when has a fighting game ever had a solid story. Soul caliber was pretty weak, dead or alive etc all pretty abismal. All great fighting games.
