Let's face it -- one of the main things that has set Mortal Kombat apart from its contemporaries throughout the years has been its inclusion of flagrant acts of grisly violence. When Ed Boon explained that the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe would explore the softer side of the series with Teen-rated acts of pugilistic carnage, many fans were upset, as it seemed their thirst for evisceration would go unslaked. The latest salvo of screenshots for the brawler from Midway might confirm or ease your fears of a censored MK title -- no, there's no evidence of any impromptu spine-removal procedures, but there's pummeling and arm-breaking aplenty. Does the latest entry in the toasty franchise look gruesome enough for your sinister bloodlust?

Still never going to purchase this game. Superman would beat the hell out of everyone- except Batman. Batman would kick his ass... but why then wouldn't Batman kick everyone else's ass?! I need an adult!
Sorry I'm done.

Don't discuss this kind of crap because it really makes you look like a nerd.Just play it.
PS:Saying that I have no intention of buying this game either, but I don't really like either franchise.
1. Did I defend SC4?
2. "Don't discuss this kind of crap because it really makes you look like a nerd." said the guy who's commenting on a video game blog. Everyone who reads Joystiq regularly is a nerd.
I think Cyrax had a fatality that blew up the planet. ... I think that is way past an artillery shell.
Conversely, modern superman is near indestructible, but now Kryptonite is as common as soda, and in as many varieties. I'm pretty sure there is a Paisley Kryptonite that will remove his cheapness.
You never mentioned SC4 but it was an example of the kind of crap that fighting games give you.
The problem with any DC fan is DC comic heroes their powers are basically god like. Even Batman to an extent is some sort of Demi god when it comes to his ability. No matter how I try to ignore the fact that is superman, I just can't get past somebody like the flash not being able to just speed of heat through somebody.
Yes I am a geek, but I doubt this game was being aimed at people who are new to Mk or DC, so just saying "Stop being a geek and play the game" isn't going to be enough for a lot of the people thinking about picking it up.
Also >_> ahem
Superman is awesome. Batman is awesome. You don't wanna play / buy the game or better yet... UNDERSTAND why this is being made, go fumble around in another post that doesn't discuss this... ... douches.
The BIGGEST problem with past Mortal Kombats is the SHALLOW GAMEPLAY with focus on REMEMBERING TO PULL OF THE VARIOUS FINISHERS.
Hopefully this will be different because I WANT TO KICK EVERYONES ASS AS SUPERMAN... straight up.
Whine else where's douches and let us alone so WE can fight Scorpion vs. Superman... your doucheness isn't required HERE.
Thank you,
D
Yeah, you can't say that. Just by being here you're a self-professed nerd.
We're having a discussion concerning this post. If anyone here is a douche it's the guy trying to start shit by elbowing his way into a conversation simply because he had his feelings hurt because he likes the game being discussed and the discussion is somewhat criticizing said game.
Grow up asshat.
And then you called me an "asshat". Is this the point where I say "You fail"?
No matter what your response is or what I am, YOU'RE still a douche... nothing will change that. Once a douche, always a douche... is that vinegar I smell??
You called me a douche because I had an opinion that you disagreed w/ and I was discussing that opinion w/ other people. You stepped in the conversation, waved your arms and said "Hey, stop arguing! DOUCHE DOUCHE DOUCHE! No one can make fun of this game because I want to play as Superman against Scorpion!" So I called you an asshat.
Now apparently I'm a douche for a new reason: because I called you out for being an asshat?
Again, grow up.
J/K.
Chris, are you aware you are trying to apply logic in the internet let alone to Superman? He gets his powers from the Earth's Sun WTF?
MK after Trilogy went downhill, and then Deception picked up the series to the semi-awesome level of the first MK games so Armageddon could deliver the final kick in the balls to every MK fan. At this point MK games are rental material but I’m still curious about how can Sub-zero deliver a punch to Superman without breaking his knuckles.
Damn you and your sparkling observations.

if so, that isn't going through his chest...the cape is around his left side...
And through his leg, i think, further down
Sang Tsung looks great, we just need Raiden, Kung Lao and Johnny Cage and the game should have a pretty great roster.
Haven't watched the GT preview yet though. Is the gameplay less clunky now? I hope to god they aren't still using dial-a-combo.

I'm not expecting Soul Calibur or Tekken from Midway. No one should.
...I just better be able to beat the crap out of Sindel with Starfire, though.
Meh.

I'm not being all defensive here, but while I'm at it; "Leave Batman Alooooone! He's just a superhero created by a heartless corporation, he can't help it.. Leave Batman Aloooooone, How dare you!"
