New Mortal Kombat vs DC Screens
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 8:30 PM on August 20, 2008
Freshly released to commemorate the beginning of the Leipzig Games Convention, here's a bunch of new screenshots for Mortal Kombat vs DC. Which show that the Joker loves nothing more than a good punch in the face. And that Green Lantern's looking look like our first choice character when we get our hands on the game.

I must say, the Joker does appear to be getting his fruit on right there. But this still has a LONG way to go to look like a 60 dollar purchase for me.

I actually think this is looking better and better.
The new combat [sic] mechanics look interesting too. Movement just looks a little too jerky and MK1.
And if you don't want Superman fighting Johnny Cage... then don't play them together. Simple.

This game keeps looking better and better, hopefully this game does well and we'll see more crossover fighters. Here's hoping for Capcom vs Marvel vs Mortal Kombat vs DC.

I believe it is. It looks like they made the color lighter than before. I don't remember seeing the red look quite that bright.

I still have trouble believing there were people who thought this would be a good idea at the below-suits level.
I can understand clueless higher ups who heard "comics" and thought 'comics are all the rage in movies right now! JACKPOT!'

Good to see they got the whole range of Joker emotion.

I'll admit I was scratching my head over this one when it was first announced; but the more I see of it, the more convinced I am that it'll be a pleasant surprise.
I'm curious to find out if they'll be a single player mode similar to that last couple of installments. That would make for an interesting story.

Look at the joker screen, there is a Batman costume in the shop window.
This is looking better than I expected, a possible diamond in the rough.

@EvilMetsFan: Haha me too! I can't wait to batarang Superman's ass! Ah wait that didn't sound right...
@StickyGoodies: Well, we did have Capcom VS Marvel so I don't really think it's that big of a mash-up.
I'm more curious to all the positive previews I've read. Heck, even Kotaku liked what they saw of this game at E3.
I wonder why the O in Mortal Kombat is also capitalized. (MOrtal Kombat instead of Mortal). Just a typo or a hidden hint?! Stay tuned! =D

Why do I get the feeling looking at those screens that GL is going to be beyond cheap?

I'll reserve judgment for when I get my hands on it, but it looks like they took two old franchises and found a way to make them fresh again.

This game is looking better, but I'll wait for the final reviews before even considering picking it up. Would be a fun rental though.
I'm crossing my fingers for a Tekken vs. Virtua Fighter mash-up of sorts. =P

Give Joker his assorted stash of knives with a 'carve' ability and this game will be a sell-out <3

@RET_Ghost:Phoenix, no, but SS, yes. As their only real limit is their willpower and what they can think up.

@excaliburps:Bats would likely use Kryptonite based weapons or a ring/dust/spray mix if he had to deal with Superman.
@The Question:GL's at their very core are overpowered, one reason DC spends so much time knocking them down or brutally exposing their limits (In Blackest Night, Zero Hour, Sisnestro Corps)
@Dappa:Likely the Batcave.

@The Question: Hal is supposed to be overpowered, i believe he's on par with the Silver Surfer and Phoenix.

Watch Green Lantern end up like Necrid from Soul Calibur 2. Ouch.

Anyone else besides Shazam confirmed for this? Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter seem like likely picks.

@excaliburps: Where do you see this "O"? I can't seem to spot it, but I am horrible at looking for things. It's genetic. My grandmother lost her glasses on top of her head once for 5 hours.

@EvilMetsFan: My friends and I once had a debate and our top 5 "fruity" heros were:
1) Green lantern: Powers come from a ring, ineffective against yellow, costume
2) Robin: Outfit, NAMBLA approved relationship
3) Silver Surfer: Naked silver guy that surfs EVERYWHERE
4) Superman: Ridiculously overpowered, stickler for the rules, "Boy Scout", posture
5) Wolverine: Overuse, compensating for something

@EvilMetsFan: Lol, so Superman is "fruity" but Batman, who has Robins (a bunch of em), screams straight, right?
