Mortal Kombat Team “Modifying” Fatalities For DC Crossover

By Michael McWhertor on May 9, 2008 at 9:20 AM

When Midway announced at their recent Gamers Day event in Las Vegas that the Mortal Kombat franchise was going to get a boost from the superheros and superheroines of the DC universe, it made us wonder, “Why?!?” It also made us wonder, “Hey, what about those signature fatalities? Surely, Kano can’t rip out the heart of Blue Beetle and get away with that.” Given that Ed Boon says the game is locked in at a T-rating, that particular fatality is probably out. And Superman may be a dick, but he’s not a murderer.

Just don’t assume that fatalities are a thing of the past. Boon says they’re simply “modifying” fatalities for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. “The names of these moves, and the level of violence we use, are to be determined,” the MK co-creator said. “But it’s certainly not a feature we plan on eliminating from the series.” Just please, please make good use of Plastic Man, Ed. Maybe Elongated Man, too. They’re begging for some fleshy Wile E. Coyote-style murderous contraption. Begging.
