What the heck? We had to do a double-take when we spotted the video above. It's a brawl we didn't conceive even in our wildest dreams, but it's happening: Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero is duking it out with DC's Batman.

Yes, it's the Batman and yeah, it's the Sub-Zero. The trailer looks awesome and we are lost for words. If you haven't heard, Midway Games is developing a new fighting title called Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Earlier rumor seems to be pretty much confirmed with this trailer, and the game's actually already set for release in this year's Fall aboard the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation 3 platforms.

And will there be fatalities in this game? Previous rumors said there wouldn't, but the ending of the trailer seems to show otherwise.

The year 2008 is steadily shaping up to be a comeback year of sorts for the fighting game genre. With Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Joining the likes of Super Smash Bros. Brawl Street Fighter 4, Tekken 6, and the new King of Fighters  in the pipeline for the year, it looks like we'll all be having very busy knuckles. We'll keep you posted for more.

who give green light to this? why not another marvel vs DC? marvel vs dc in this gen will be cool... but this don't seems right to me... with no fatalities feels weird mortal kombat... just make a really good mortal kombat and that's it... they are just out of creativity

Did you watch the video? The end of the video looks like there will be fatalities in the game.

# well...Someone_PR 2008-04-18 13:44
they said there's no will be fatalities... and anyway I guess it's just to another layout of the same level... like when you do an uppercut and go to the another one layout... or maybe it is but i guess DC don't want it in that way to make fatalities to their characters but who know...

# My TRUE feelings...IodineX 2008-04-18 13:58
I have been an MK fan since back in the hayday of the 2D fighter. The latter-gen games to me were sub-par. Deadly Alliance was an exception since it was a new concept. However, Deception and Armageddon were pretty much on the lower scale of things. Now I am really to be flammed and my MK fanage stepped on by people saying that "A real MK Fan would enjoy all MK games" but this is not true. A seasoned veteran does not have to accept slackey, sub-par work. We all have our different opinions.



This new MK vs DC Universe...cute concept...and I will certain refrain from knocking it until I see more. However, my initial impressions are this...I think I would have rather seen MK vs Marvel, which could possibly be a future title since we have this crossover fighter in development. I just believe that Marvel's characters have a much better match up against the MK characters...Iron Man with Cyrax (Sektor, and Smoke)...Hulk against Goro (Kintaro, and Moloch)...Wolverine against Baraka...etc. The so-stated lack of the traditional fatalities I think hurts the MK series a bit, and from the trailer the gameplay looks very similar to that of the past MK games...especially what looked like aerial kombat.



I am going to give this game a further gander as soon as more info/footage is released, so that I can form a much more thorough opinion.

Good point of view and a good way to advertise it too with videos with each fights you said... but it's dc so lets see... maybe the game will be one of the best fighting games, I don't know... my first impression wasn't good

"they said there's no will be fatalities..."



Got a link to where they said that?



If it's true then I will be passing on this game. I don't want to play a watered down Mortal Kombat that trys to make itself look like a Marvel vs Capcom game.

# let's take fatalities out of the discussion for now...lavino 2008-04-18 18:04
ok, if the actual game play is like this trailer then I am not too impressed with this game. I personally don't really mind without fatalities since after MKII it lost the WOW factor in me even I admit that it IS a staple of MK. Anyway, we have yet to see the next generation of Soul Cal (about to...) or Tekken but we definitely have seen DoA4, VF5. I am not sure this can quite put up with them just yet. Who knows, it is still too early to tell so let's not jump to conclusion just yet

Quan chi and sheng shung vs superman, batman, flash, the green lantern, etc.

now that would be sweet if that kind of thing was added to the game,

or if you play as a MK character the final boss is Superman.

and If you play as a DC character the final boss is...

Shinnok? (I cant think of anyone else maby Onaga.)

we will just to have to wait and see...
