I remember playing Capcom’s Street Fighter vs. Marvel Superheroes back in the ay when kids still frequented arcades. I’m more of a casual gamer now, but this caught my attention. Rumor has it that the new Mortal Kombat game is actually Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics. Some people think it’s fake, although one site claims to have a confirmation from Midway, and other fans are screaming “Batman cannot get decapitated! Ever! This game is an abomination!” I know it isn’t exactly movie news, but thought it was at least worth a mention.

So Superman and Batman will beat everyone? How is that fun?
:P
April 18th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Video games now peter? VIDEO GAMES?
what next, Barbies and tampons?
April 18th, 2008 at 10:00 am
If you can beat the whole game using Robin then you have certainly done something stupid.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:02 am
not really worth a mention…but we won’t hold it against you :P
and: batman cannot be decapitated. ever.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:04 am
if green lantern is in it, im down
April 18th, 2008 at 10:04 am
this is clearly fake. bad photoshop texture effects and photoshop text shadows. you would have to be a giant faggot to beleive this is real.
also, i back larry leonardo. come on peter. might as well post ads for every movie video game they make. just because youd suck supermans dick doesnt mean your readers want to be subjected to this speculation of obvious crap
April 18th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Who in thr blue hell from Mortal Kombat could beat Superman?
Why in the hell would I even care to comment?
April 18th, 2008 at 10:10 am
This would be sick
April 18th, 2008 at 10:10 am
i don’t know, it may be fake.
that website just brings up a question mark and dots. the sourcecode has “WheelMan Entry Page” and stuff on it, and according to Wikipedia, The Wheelman is a game Midway is developing to be released later this year, with Vin Diesel in it.
so unless it’s an elaborate play (like how movies are sent to theaters under different names), either that poster is fake, the wordscollide.com site is fake, or whatever.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:12 am
the good news:
it’s official.
http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/
the bad news:
the rumor is, there is little blood and NO fatalities!
now that’s just not right for a MK game.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Where’s your invisible jet now, eh, WONDER WOMAN!?!
April 18th, 2008 at 10:25 am
It isn’t fake. Here is a trailer for the game: http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/xbox-360/news/mortal-kombat-vs-dc-universe-first-trailer/a-200804189373994062/g-20060321132945404017
More info will be released today at 4 PM Pacific.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:29 am
High five for opinions!
April 18th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Dude i wanna see MK vs Street Fighter
April 18th, 2008 at 10:38 am
so much for harriottubman’s expert photoshop analysis
April 18th, 2008 at 10:55 am
DC would own MK
April 18th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I can make superman on MKA with the create a fighter along with batman the flash, green latern, and black canary, but to actually play as them in a mk game would be awesome, hope its true.
April 18th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Back again, just checked out the site worlds collide.com if this is a hoax the person behind it is really going all the way with it, they even have the friggin’ WB and DC logos, thought I let you know.

dont listen to these tools. posting anything related to comic books or mortal kombat or video games in general is okay by me. and with justice league being in the rumor mill constantly, how can this NOT be relevant in some way?
and i don’t know about you guys, but i don’t care whether or not you can beat the game with robin, if superman can be decapitated, etc.. if you can perform fatalities with batman, superman, and co….what’s not to like? i just wanna see something new and cool and this fits the bill.
April 18th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Sweet..

heres the forums from Midway.com

ok gotta chime in here….
not sure why everyones bitching about the content of a website thats not theres they are pretty much retarded no offense
anyway if you guys have forgotten the amazing Marvel Vs. Capcom series (not just the two) then you will realize Mortal Kombat vs. DC is an amazing idea.
I cant imagine it having little blood for a Mortal Kombat game; no fatalities makes sense since the last few have been bitching out on them anyway.
oh and anyone could kick superman’s ass he’s a bitch
hope to see Shao Kahn bash him in with a hammer.
April 18th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Batman can never get decapitated. And he doesn’t like chocolate

The actual site’s up, and logo’s being used on the Midway forums (which BxA already posted up on here). I don’t know…sounds like both Midway’s MK franchise and DC Comics are desperate…
April 18th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
mortal kombat is probably the worst fighter right now the early games rocked and this little spice up with dc characters will surely
bring new gamers to the mortal kombat or dc universe so its all
good.
plus maybe we’ll see a mortal kombat vs superman movie in the near future

Midway and Ed Boon himself just finished the panel about it a NYCC, in addition to the trailer they released details about the game. Yeah, really fake…
April 18th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I think the lesson here is unless your friend made the rumor up and you helped him, it’s best to just let it slide now matter how fake you think it is. X play did a whole thing on it today and AOTS was talking about it most of the afternoon. No fatalities = Lame.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Yep. The trailer’s online, and it’s…decent. Nothing to get hugely hyped about, but not horrible.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Kip: I don’t mind the “fatality” thing so much. Yes, it makes this game far less of a “Mortal Kombat” game, but characters like Superman were never brutal killing machines, so I agree with Boon’s opinion on the matter: “Can Batman die in this game? Can Superman pull off a fatality? Although he wouldn’t get too specific, Boon said that he’d expect something closer to finishers than fatalities because of those out-of-character situations.” (Quoted from Greg Miller at IGN).
Now, if Lobo or Azrael were in the game…
April 18th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
trailer was pretty sweet
April 19th, 2008 at 7:09 am
… It’s very funny to read this when we know now that it’s not a fake and Midway have confirm everything …

May 5th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I think everyone should have a fatality or the comic books characters have at least a brutality
May 5th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Robin will only be able to perform Friendships. He only gets friends when he forces them when they’re dazed.
May 15th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Well, it’s no hard to find out whos gonna to win. MK daaaaa.
and another thing dc comics don’t kill peolpe they just knock then sinceless and leave them for jail. why do you think joker keeps come back. when MK kills them of the first time. + fatalities or is it ? =/
May 15th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Oh forgot LUI KANG WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!
May 30th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
I personally think its a great idea. and by the way superman is the greatest super hero of all time,fuck batman!!! When we dream at night,we dream of flying,being able to run super fast,having super human strength,living forever,saving the world from evil & terror. Superman is the embodiment of all these things.Who the fuck drives a car while wearing a cape and fighting crime with grappling hooks uh? Im gonna tear his ass up with liu kang!
July 11th, 2008 at 9:50 am
As long as Liu Kang, Kung Lao, or at least Johnny Cage is in the mix. Superman and Batman more likely to take the game. They’re destined to to always win.
July 11th, 2008 at 9:52 am
U guys seem to forget, fuck Robin!!!!! “NightWing”
