Step in the Ring

Mortal Kombat and DC Universe finally collide in this epic portrayal of what it would be like if say Batman and Sub-Zero met on unfriendly paths. As shown in the image above the two would not be shaking hands like old pals but rather deciding how to dispose of the other. The game is set to be released on November 1st of 2008 but the date could possibly be pushed back as Super Smash Bros. was many times. Characters already revealed to be definitely appearing in the game (other than the obvious Sub-Zero and Batman) are Scorpion, Sonya, and Shang Tsung  as the MK side and Flash, Catwoman, and Superman for the DCU side. They are deciding on more characters, which are probably already chosen, just not yet revealed. There will however be a small count of woman characters, possibly only 3 per side. That is mostly due to that fact of the more favored and popular characters being males.
In this entanglement of characters meeting to fight to the end the good and bad must join together to fight the other side. For example Poison Ivy and Batman would have to fight together against Goro and Scorpion who would have to do the same. The player would choose a side, either DCU or MK, in along that choice will be a story line created by comic book veterans Jimmy Palmotti (Monolith, 21 Down, Painkiller Jane) and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex, Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Bludhaven, JLA Classified). If you chose the MK side you would see the DCU characters as the invaders and vice versa.
Although sadly there will be no fatalities in the game. Making it the first ‘T’ rated Mortal Kombat game as well as the first one to not have the legendary fatalities. This due to the rejection of an ‘M’ rated game from DC. They may have moves called something else like ‘finishers’ but they won’t be as brutal as the long remembered moves of the MK world. In other words say good by to anything gory like ripped out spines and decapitation. The arenas in which the players fight in will most likely be a mix of both sides instead of an MK arena and a DC arena. There is a downloadable demo of the game already out that you can get via your Xbox or PS3.
